Memphis Depay

Still think LW is his best position as he can create from there and when there is a somewhat decent striker and a winger on the other side he'll create a decent amount of chances. Don't see Ansu playing all of the games for 90min so we maybe find the right formula of rotation to get the best out of both of them. If all players stay fit it's luxury compared to the last months but I don't see all of them staying fit given their injury records. Still not complete though as Braithwaite is yet to come back too. A solid rivalry for the starting spots can only be good for the team. We hadn't that for months. Being fit was basically the licence to start a game.

As a CF Memphis is suffering heavily from our slow build-up. He is doing much better for the Netherlands and their electrifying game. Also don't agree that he is slow. He surely is no Dembele, but not slower than Ansu.
You are probably the only one who does not see that this fat guy is slow and totally useless. Next time, hopefully it will not be, look close to his movement. It is the worst Barca player in its history.

Countinho would be ashamed of your claim SIR! He fought hard to get this position of WOAT, don't try to bring his name down just because he moved :/ Even if he's not that far, Depay has still a way to go before we can even put both in the same conversation

Without him, we'd have 9 points less in the table.

According to UEFA his top speed was 31,3km/h. Ansu 30,9km/h.

Nice try though, keyboard acrobat.

He's ponderous on the ball and has poor tactical awareness of positions to occupy on the pitch or space - lazy or dumb, not sure

I despise Morata but he's a better fit for Xavi's Barca than Depay

So what you are saying is, he could be our new defensive midfielder ...

We should offer them Busi instead. Looks a pretty fair exchange to me.

The fact that nobody is interested in Depay tells everything about his qualities as a footballer. I doubt that Juventus might be interested in him. And I am not sure how people can compare Depay with Busquet. There are few classes difference between them. Barca really does not need Depay. He is just an extra man when he plays. No added value at all.

He's a forward who can score goals (Less clinical/efficient than Depay) but more likely to fit into the high pressure system Xavi employs while being a physical target man to occupy the central defenders yet still technical enough to feed others

Depay is on an island in our attack, like a nomad roaming on his own. Get the ball to him with a shot on goal, dangerous - else, he is a passenger
