Memphis Depay

[The Don Antonio]

Rumour has it that he will be added to the Aubemayang transfer.  I for one am for this deal

The total number of tattoos in our squad will explode.

I still would prefer Zaha, I can’t see Depay succeeding here. Not fair to use his time at Man Utd as an example but he hasn’t done that well at Barca either.

Zaha would be a much smarter move imo. Premier league proven, will make an instant impact.

I'll give you 2-1 on the number going down ... on the proviso that Kenedy is leaving LOL

I just feel like Zaha and Sterling will be stepping on eachothers toes . They both prefer to play from the left while Memphis is fine in the middle.

[HazardousChoice]

I'd prefer Zaha.

But Depay is a forward that isn't Christian Pulisic so naturally I'm all for this deal.

He's a decent goal scorer and is occasionally brilliant so on a free I think he'd be a massive coup.

[JM7]

Not a fan really.

Think he would need to move to the right.

 

Memphis

Auba

Sterling

But then again, we’d be playing a forward out of position. Like we did with Havertz and Werner. Much better off buying natural wingers like ZAHA. Come on Boehly, leave this and get Zaha.

It can't be understated just how much this should be taken into account. In another deal, we are chasing an Ajax DM who may or may not be a good acquisition, he will take time to settle, whilst Arsenal is looking at Douglas Luiz at half the cost and crucially proven in our league. Both are probably stop-gap signings but one is more likely to succeed.

[timetowaste]

I would have preferred Zaha but Depay would be a very good acquisition especially given it would be a contract termination from Barca so essentially it would be a free transfer. 

[Sheva]

I'll take this if he kidnaps De Jong.

[azpi28]

Memphis is a europa league level player at best 

 

[forbzy]

Did they just squeeze Depay into the cab as Auba was leaving?

[Adamrb]

so we are basically Barca last season, who were rubbish 🙂

So he's better than our current attackers then.

[axman2526]

Just over 6 hours left. Nothing concrete on him.

Seems Auba will happen, the rest unlikely.

Basically paying a premium to take over Barcas rubbish. 

[axman2526]

Just imagine our rivals if we land him and Auba and partner them with Sterling:

"United reject on the right, City Reject on the left, Arsenal reject in the middle, you are gonna win f'k all". I can hear it now...lol....

What does it matter where they prefer to play. 

They play where Tuchel prefers. Whether or not it works as long as he wants them there, they will play there.

I suggest playing them in goal. All of them.

I hear that Dortmund reject is doing quite well at City mind you.
