We have Dembele, Trincao, Messi, Fati and Pedri/Coutinho who can play on the wing. We dont need Depay. Griezman also has been forced on the wing since he cant play anywhere else either. What we need is Griezman and Suarez gone and to bring in a striker FFS. Wtf is this board doing or thinking.

We are hopeless. Another pseudo winger/CF/SS that doesn't excel in any position. What the fuck is wrong with the people running this club, seriously? We have a pathetic defence, with over the hill veterans, slow CBs and mediocre fullbacks but we yet again spend money on a player that doesn't add much more than we already have. Just adding numbers to an already bloated squad.
I'd rather have Coutinho as LW and save the money.
If you want a LW, buy a pacey one who can make runs behind the defence.
If you want a CF, buy one who puts the opposition's CB's to work and actually scores.
Wouldn't mind him coming as a backup, but at the moment we don't have anything solid to back up.
Another bad fit and waste of money.

Ok, then sell Griezmann? Oh but that's the problem, nobody is gonna buy a player with a 20m net wage, or Griezmann won't ever leave for significantly less. It's not a choice of him or Griezmann, it's Depay+Griezmann on that wage bill.
Even if you think that Depay is better, the difference is negligible at best and it isn't worth spending another 25m plus wages on such a small upgrade. I don't think he's even better than the Frenchman but it isn't my point. It's just wasting valuable resources that we barely have on another player that won't make any difference in us winning trophies or not.

Imo, he's much more of a winger than Griezmann.
I think Fati / Depay and Trincao / Dembele (if he stays fit) are rather good options for the wings. Depay doesn't cost much, is a good player, and also quite young at 26.
Rotate Griezmann and Messi at 9 and that's it.
This should be done asap.

Yea, meanwhile mighty Lyon just beat City in CL this season with a much inferior team and could have done a surprise vs Bayern as well, while we got beaten 8-2. Instead of complaining we can't sign the likes of Mbappe and Haaland, we should go to work and actually assemble a team that can run.
We haven't knocked out teams like Manchester City and Juventus in CL since 2015.
It's hardly possible to set yourself up for a more disappointing season than zero titles and historic CL humiliation. I'm sure everyone would like us to sign the best players out there and jump 2-3 steps in a single transfer window. But it is not possible. You have to improve gradually.

Depay is a player who has worldclass matches and donkey-mode matches. But for 25 mio we should buy him.

Even though it will be difficult for Depay to play a lot as Messi would most likely play as CAM occupying the central position in the team. Griezmann would act as a striker and would mostly exchange places with Messi during the game as we saw in the match against Villareal. Coutinho would play as LM or LW, not his favorite position but as LM, more closer to the goal. Dembele on the other side woul play as RW or RM assuming he can remain injury free. Barca has also Pedri who can play as CAM as well as LM, Trincao who can play on both wings as well as Ansu Fati.

Good if he's really close, that means Suarez and some other players are on their way out.
What Bartomeu? It's Koeman who wants Depay and that's why I'm ok with bringing him. He knows him and has a role for him in his mind.
