He's not playing in the Dutch league and hasn't since we signed him dude...

Ah yeah, he was there pre-Utd. The same applies to the French and Spanish leagues though. Is he suited to EPL? Not to mention whether he can do it in a distinctional team also.

DiMaria springs to mind.

So what leagues are we allowed to sign players from then according to you? Think you mean dysfunctional btw.

That's not my point at all. Is he suited to the EPL? We tried once and it didn't work. Are there no other players out there?

Pogba springs to mind.

I'd rather gave Dybala, Scamacca or Belotti rather than Depay back.

Sadly 2 of the three are already gone.

Lingard is a better player than Depay and we let him go on a free. Signing Depay would just be stupid.

Also if Barca are not going to give us FDJ. Let them rot in their own bankruptcy. Depay is simply a fire sale to help them balance the books.

Theres something I really don't like about Depay. Can't put my finger on quite what it is.

He was a party boy. Not sure if that is still the case but leopards don't change their spots and all that.

The exact players we have been trying to get rid of.

Shamikebab · 23 Jul 2022 at 16:58

I've never seen anything to suggest he was a party boy? His problems when he first joined us seemed to be he was overconfident and thought he'd already made it. Don't think he's had problems like that since though.

Just your normal lad

I dont think on any other medium would someone make a Lingard is better then Depay shout.

Just lol.

CliffyG · 23 Jul 2022 at 18:02

Dressing like a **** does not mean you're a party boy.... Loads of footballer have awful dress sense. And to use that as a example of his bad attitude is quite a stretch.

Does Harrison play on the left or right?

Toon going back in with an offer of around 35m

left.

If we had signed a replacement I’d take 35m all day long.

Of course, he dresses like that to sit at home doing his daily hail Mary's.

I just have a sneaky feeling we are trying to shift Maxi.

God as much as I don't think maxi figures in Howe's long term plans, 35m for Harrison is absurd imo. Leeds would be laughing. I think given how well they've spent discounting wood, it would be absurd.

Oh do you only wear clothes you like when you're out partying? I personally try and dress well all the time...

That sort of clobber, yes, sane people only wear that when partying or attending some kind of fashion show or the Oscar’s

Do you honestly believe that Depay would be a massive upgrade over Lingard? People like to laugh a lot and he is a bit of a noob but he was a talented player. He was one of the better players in the England Squad during 17/18 and also during Jose's 81 point season finishing second. He also won us the FA cup with an absolute cracker. Was always a big game player.

Depay got his move to Barcelona due to Koeman links not because they really wanted him. He was also terrible for us. He has had one decent season. Look at his Dutch goals outside 21 and it is pretty terrible. He has also come at a time into the Dutch squad where they have no real strikers.
