Memphis Depay

He is the man... Alas he will go a better/richer/more ambitious/financially doped side

I'm not hearing any solid rumours for him going elsewhere yet and he's clearly for sale - he was being shop windowed in August. I think we have a chance as Real's Feeder Club[SUP]TM[/SUP] - there are too many Eredivisie flops for him to go on a big money transfer to a top club straight away.

Of course, that won't stop Chelsea buying him and loaning him to Doncaster until his career peters out.

Did we buy him yet?

Have you not got work to do?

I thought LVG had told him to develop for another year in Holland, then he'd bring him to Old Trafford next summer?

That depends on LVG being there next summer though.

 

[NorwegianSpursFan]

He might have seen what lvg is doing in Manchester and thought better of it.

 

[Jordinho]

He will also notice the additional 100K per week they'll offer him.

I thought they were getting Bale?

Bale, Depay, Di Maria, Januzaj, Valencia, Young.....I'm sure they'll find space for all of them.

Seriously where do you get all this stuff from?

Can't remember where, but I do remember several newspapers reporting this in the summer.

Now to see whether he can fulfil the considerable reputation and expectation.

What was the fee in the end?

I think it has been informally in place since the WC camp 11 months ago.

Doesn't Depay play roughly the same position as Bale? They're hardly going to sign two expensive players in that position, are they?

I don't know, they seem more interested in signing big names than putting together a balanced side.

Didn't stop them from signing a string of #10 players....

Also Bale is certainly capable of playing on either side, I think the same is true for Depay - but not as sure.

The Real Madrid route to World domination?

 

[Rorschach]

fudge. Didn't think we had much of a chance of landing him but it is still disappointing to read he's gone there.

 

[Cochise]

£30 million though. If this was the summer after Bale had left we could have got him, but certainly not now.
