Rumours in the press are saying we have offered Mephis Depay a contract.

31 Mar 2021 19:07:55
What press?

31 Mar 2021 21:36:28
Its on the Echo site and appears to have come from Marca.

Given that Marca ran the interview with Salah earlier in the week, its clear what they are trying to intimate!

However, I would be very pleased with Depay on a free. Entering his prime, very pacey and can operate on the wing or through the middle - what's not to like (other than 2 years being misused by them boys at Old Trafford)

31 Mar 2021 21:52:58
A free? Is he really out of contract in the summer? Surprised koemen doesn’t go for him if he is.

Not actually bothered that he played for United and failed to make it for them, Peter Beardsley was on their books and didn’t make it and he was brilliant for us.

@jordz, I think Barcelona is his most likely destination, but he may be swayed by Klopp (if we're in for him, of course, and this isn't just idle press speculation)

What are your thoughts on delay eds? Likely to happen?

{Ed002's Note - Memphis Depay (F) the chances of him agreeing an extension are dwindling and offers are being considered. Interest from Barcelona remains after coming very close to signing him last summer. Juventus, the Milanese sides (who I would discount)and PSG all have declared an interest. May get his desired move to Juventus to replace Ronaldo if they decide to sell this summer or Morata if the option is not taken up - but PSG may just look to Depay if they cannot add their preferred option. The player has said he would also welcome a move to Barcelona. Comes with baggage which could prove disruptive. I am not aware of any approach by Liverpool but he is available as a Free Agent.}

He was supposed to sign a few years back when untied were trying to sign Firmino. We got the best of the bargain at that time.

01 Apr 2021 13:17:42
I don't see Klopp having the stomach for Depay but who knows at this point.

01 Apr 2021 13:23:06
I rate him, didn’t realise he’d only just turned 30, I thought he was nailed on for Barca? I think he’d be a success here and can play across the frontline.
His career path would be quite similar to Salah although as has been said he’s known to have been a nob at times and it seems that his failings at Utd sit firmly on his own shoulders.

{Ed077's Note - I think you will find Depay only just turned 27,not 30. I dont think you can blame his failings at Man Utd just at him. He didnt help his cause but we didnt manage the situation correctly either.}

01 Apr 2021 14:44:52
Sorry I meant he’s only just turned 27 and I had in my head he was around 30.
I believe he was a bit of a Billy big balls at Utd and thought he’d made it on joining the club and wasn’t willing to knuckle down, graft and become better. I can remember a few stories coming direct from ex team mates.
As I say, I’d take him, it looks like he’s matured now and improved as a player.

Let's hope we miss out on Memphis Depay.

Watch a fair bit of french football. decent player for lyon to be honest. if he's free Nd not wanting ridiculous wages I'd give him a go. But french football is hardly the best league in the world. Remember cisse banging them in for fun. Struggled for us.
