Memphis Depay

Another Greizmann type signing for sure. Beats me why we have this fetish for number 10's and second strikers all of a sudden. We already have Greizmann, Coutinho and Messi with a similar profile. If you look at Memphis. His positioning and the zone he loves to play in is exactly like them. They like to occupy the same space so naturally its hard for them to play together or function anywhere else. Like Greizmann at CF.

Please get him, literally anything just to get the chunker out, I miss the days where our attackers gave a fuck

The rumoured price is 25m. Thats a great price, a bargain honestly for a player who is better and has shown more than Lautaro who we were willing to pay almost 100m for.

Agreed. At that price and for where Depay is in his career trajectory it is a great option.

I just worry he will be used appropriately with Messi staying.

So it’s only a matter of when? 25m seems like an excellent deal. He is in his last year of contract and Juninho confirmed he didn’t want to discuss renewing his contract. He also said they’re trying trim their squad.

Better than Lautaro.
LW: Fati, Dembele, (Depay), (Coutinho)
CF: Depay, (Fati), (Griezmann)
RW: (Dembele), Trincao
Second Striker/CAM: Messi, Griezmann, Coutinho

7 players for 3 attacking positions looks like an overkill tbh. Looks like Trincao will suffer Malcom?s fate. Pedri should be loaned out.

Also, quite unbelievable technical abilities. Some dribbles he pulls off are only second to Neymar currently.

4 spots if 4-2-3-1. If Depay is signed, Coutinho is no longer required.

I'd take Depay over Coutinho.

Depay - Messi/Griezmann - Dembele + Messi/Griezmann top. Even Depay could play top (I think he does for Nederlands). Also, Messi to sit out quite a few of the easier games -> has to be done absolutely at his age.

Memphis Depay, barring a last minute setback, will become the first signing of the Ronald Koeman era. The negotiations for the 26-year-old forward have entered its final stages. Bar?a will pay 25 million euros for Depay. [la vanguardia]
