Memphis Depay

[JamDav1982]

are you going to haunt me forever with this question?

i've already said that i prefer depay over wijnaldum. so it's a yes, but a cautios one.

for me it seems he's a luxury player, like fekir for example. a guy that when in the mood can be very good, but otherwise he disappoints when you're expecting the least.

like one of those sports cars that is high maintenance and you drive only a couple of times a year.

just too many question marks around him. for a left side forward it would be a good stop-gap. for a striker at barcelona he's nowhere near the required level, for various reasons.

Aye asked it a few times as never got a response.

Preferring one over the other is irrelevant really just if want Barca to sign Depay. So thanks for clarifying.

Why do you want Barca to sign him? As better than what is there?

For me he improves the squad easily and is good enough for that and Barca dont have money to buy the players would ideally want as starters and will be a good signing if he arrives.

can't say that i "want" us to sign him. as in i'm not really thrilled on the transfer. but he's free at least.

but i do recognize he has above average technique and is smart enough to link-up with the other attackers. surely better than braithwaite and more talented than griezmann.

would be good to have so as to give fati room to breathe and not start every game just yet.

Aye but you said if had choice you do want Barca to sign him rather than not.

Is not as good a player as Griezmann but could be better at CF and running in behind or at least the percieved threat of pace where teams not so happy to play high line.

Far better than duds like Braithwaite and can cover out wide.

Very good signing for free.. if get him.

yeah, at this point i would like us to get him.

griezmann is a better player if you have a defensive team and your manager is simeone or deschamps. otherwise depay has more talent and is better suited to a club like barcelona.

When are you gonna drop the Depay analysis ?, I need to know if he's a choir boy or if the look in his eyes is the right one.

We'll see after a few matches.

Also, a player needs to have both a right attitude but also a quality.

Malcom was confident and had the right attitude, but lacked quality.

About Depay, he has tattoos and looks kinda dangerous.
It remains to be seen whether he is a real deal or a fake ass Instagram bad boy.

Where are the football players who want to play for their childhood dreamteam ?? Everyone wants money nowadays.

Frenkie does, but Barca had to up their offer for him too. Also, not every footballer has a childhood dreamteam.

Let's not hide the fact that PSG currently is the better address for sporting success.. I know, they didn't win the UCL so far, but they were closer than Barca was in those after-MSN Barto-years. If the economic offer is so much better too like in the case of Wijnaldum there is nothing you can do.

We will see if Depay betters what Griezmann did and contributes to over 30 goals across next season but is clearly better than likes of Braithwaite.

If he has the talent to score those goals and make those assists even in system that doesnt suit him will be even better signing.

Barca didnt have to up offer to FDJ to stop him going to PSG and choose Barca.

End of the day there is a pretty good chance that we will miss out on him as well , since De Boer isn't allowing anyone to leave the team so that they can focus on the EURO's. If he has a great tournament for example another top club can easily swoop in with a much better offer.

Biggest bullshit ever. Look at De jong Wages he earns like 22 Millions. PSG offered only 1-2 M more. If PSG gave him 50% more Salary he would be in Paris

starter for netherlands 10 or 20 years ago would have meant something. starter for the current side? not so much.

can't even remember when they've last had a national team this bad.

Remember when Netherlands had in the same time attackers: Kluivert (1976), Bergkamp (1969) and subs Van Nistelrooy (1976), Hasselbaink (1972), Makaay (1975), Van Hooijdonk (1969).
All born in space of 7 years.

An era of good old no9s.

Yeah, we had to go the distance with PSG. We offered a comparable figure, which was huge anyway.

It's not like we offered half and FDJ chose Barcelona because he liked the club/city.

Any news? I hope we will announce his signing this week.

 

[jairzinho]

Taking alot longer than expected to finalize. Maybe QSG offered to double his wages.

I can understand Wijnaldum joining PSG, but Depay would be a bit retarded. He wouldn't play much.
