Sadly his shooting can be very similar to Braithwaite as well .
He had a couple of shots the other day and the balls are still missing
Memphis Depay

I think Memphis is generally a good player (I say "good").
He has the potential to play in a Barca team.
Though, what I doubt about him is two points:
1- His personality seems to be "arrogant". And he has been criticized by Juninho, the technical director of FC Lyon, talking about his attitude, not focusing on the team but on himself.
2- His defensive contribution in Lyon was really limited. If he wants to play in Barca and find his spot, he should work harder and help the team.

Yes, if he comes to Barca and thinks he is some big star, he will simply FAIL. I doubt it though. He always said his dream was to play for Real Madrid type of club. This is his dream come true. I think he will give it all to show he belongs.. I think he learned something at ManU. He always had the talent, but he was too arrogant/young and failed.
He is a bit of a showman though. Like Neymar. That could be a good thing, as long as he focuses on playing football.
As much as I love/hate Neymar, he brought a lot of fun to our games. I hope Depay does the same. I like seeing those funny tricks/exciting goals you don't see every day. It makes football worth watching. Not that Depay is comparable to Neymar, because he is not as big a talent, but some sort of "lite" version maybe.

He's a good player, certainly far better than a guy like Braithwaite, but he's hardly vintage Barcelona level. He's a bit weird and lost in his head, you never know what you'll get from him. He can miss obvious passes but he can absolutely shine on his good days.
He also seems to think he's better than what he is, so if he's not successful immediately and is benched, there's a good potential for crash and burn.

Respect! Change his thread name
Memphis doesn't use his last name Depay on the back of his shirt because his father abandoned him at the age of four and he wants to reject any links with him. Memphis once told the BBC: "I will never forgive him. Do not call me Depay, call me Memphis." [MARCA]

Why he doesn't change his last name then?
To what? Can't just legally change last name like that unless you have another surname in the family.
Dele Alli also goes by Dele for the same reasons as Memphis.
