Fuck knows how good he will be but decent age and been ok in La Liga in past.

When in couple years or so had likes of Braithwaite etc as fucking no9 then cant complain.

He showed promise at Sevilla but was too raw. Then he had three decent seasons in Serie A at Lazio. I think he's a serviceable player, he shouldn't be finished yet at 28. He's been terrible for Inter though, but they play with a 3-5-2 where he is forced to be a second striker. At Lazio he played on the wing
No idea what his level is these days but he didn?t play on the wing for Lazio. He played as a second striker there in a 352.

My bad, I conflated the timelines. Sarri came only in 2021. Then yeah, he played under Inzaghi in a 3-5-2 as a second striker that gravitates toward the left wing, very much Depay-like.

It's weird because I had this picture of him as a left winger, but that's probably an impression I got from his Sevilla days.

Hope so it is loan, we give him back with Kessie and got Brozovic.

The swap between Memphis and Inter's Correa seems to be unsuccessful. The Carrasco option remains the most interesting. [as] #fcblive

correa and carrasco are bums. there goes the theory that you can sign mediocre players for free and sell them on for a couple of mil. no one wants to pay for bums.

at most a swap for another bum can be arranged, but you end up with another dead-weight on the books.

Fake news.

Teams would have paid for Depay last summer and now but he doesnt want to go.

Depay been a worthehile signing for free and same claimed about others such as Christensen..

Depay is class player, but Xavi clearly sees him unsuitable to his vision.

Memphis arrived for free, will depart on free. Unless we swap him for someone crazy.

Don't think so. Xavi would allow a transfer if he gets properly replaced or brings in enough money. But if not Xavi will see Memphis as useful sub on on the way to winning La Liga.

Memphis was injured for a long period, didn't prepare properly for the World Cup and since his return he was featured only against Intercity. In the forwards hierarchy he's the 4th option after Lewa, Ansu and Ferran. And I'm not counting Dembele and Raphinha.

Xavi, of course, enjoys the squad depth and wouldn't sell anyone in this period of the season.

All in all it's bad for Depay. He is at prime age as footballer and it'd be better for his career to play regularly somewhere else. Not spend his best years warming the bench for Ferran or someone else.

He's class and at a prime age yet no CL club wants him. Let's cut the bullshit, the guy is a luxury player that not many want in their team.
Too high maintenance for the output and inconsistency he provides.

Malvolio has absolutely no idea who wants Depay.

Was a good signging on a free for where club were at time.

Lets see if he ends up in a 'CL team' or not.

Well if Inter is his best option on free, he is shit player.

Wonder why Arsenal don't get him, he can be worse version of Jesus.
