Memphis Depay

[El Gato]

Has to play central if you want to use him at all so these 2, or a #10 behind striker, are the only choice. Otherwise sell.

But Depay will want an assurance he plays a significant amount of minutes cutting into Fati's pitch time too much. So either loan Fati so he plays regularly or you'll end up using him like Real are using Vinicius. Which isn't ideal for his own progress.

Unless Koeman is happy benching Depay when kicks up a fuss over being displaced by an 18 year old. Which most coaches wouldn't go for.

I think he will replace Greaseman.

I really don't want him.
I think for the time being we are set in attack, let's see what we have in those guys a d complete our cleanup next year

Yeah, I don't want him as well. The only reason why we are interested is because he'll be cheap. We should be okay in attack. Maybe a player with a similar profile to giroud for parked buses would be useful.

 

[soul24rage]

We don't need Depay.

 

[jamrock]

If bringing him in means we drop griezmann then I'd take him, he can't he any worst.

Though he will bring about the next problem in our setup which is messi coming off the right, which means no on is playing on the right

But thats a problem we will deal with later, just get blondey off the pitch.

 

[Porque]

Only one game in but if Messi is going to be false 9 then we don't really need him.

But if Braithwaite goes then we are much better with the option of Depay. Gives relief for Fati too.

 

[jairzinho]

We already have too many similar players in attack. What skillsets will he bring that we don?t already have ?.

 

[FinBarcelonafan]

We have too many similar players already. Another mistake.

Memphis is a cold killa Savana Panthera but we're already stacked upfront

Ansu/Demb - Messi/Colgate - Trink/Demb
Rafi/Couti/Pedri/Puig/Griezz/Memphis
Konrad/Puig/Frenkie - Pjanic/Griezz/Bob
Firpo/Alba - Lenglet/Araujo - Pique/Todibo - Dest/Moussa
Neto/MaTs
​

Best save the mullah for King Haal or reinforce our backline. I'd rather get one of 'em 190cm+ monsta CBs to capitalize on and also defend set pieces

So many of our corners are wasted!

Konrad and Griezzyboy CM dawg?

 

[serghei]

We are stacked, but currently we're running in ideal conditions. Fati running hot, Dembele not injured, Coutinho in form. If Dembele gets injured (can happen at any point), and Coutinho drops form like he did in the past, things don't look quite as rosy.

Plus that Depay would be a good option to replace Messi in the summer when his contract is up.

But I agree, only sign him if the deal is indeed too good to pass. And if we plan to rotate the players in attack, and I mean really rotate. Because Depay is not the guy to be a bench warmer.

Also, sell Braithwaite.

Konrad showed a lot of vertical instincts and has decent speed. Would be great if Koe tried him out at 2nd half when we've got a comfy lead. If anything, would serve to rest our players and raise his value as well

For ma man Grizz, till he shows more confidence upfront, would rather play him CM next to Frenkie or Pjanic. He runs betters than Busi anyways and is comfy with defensive drills.

 

[Andrew M]

I don't think we should buy him. I don't think he improves us tbh. He may get some league goals but in big games I have strong doubts. Save resources for next summer.

I think we'll only buy him if Koeman really insists for him. And if he insists for him he better have a plan regarding what to do with him.
