Who is the man? Who would be the better signing if we are indeed in the market for a new winger. They both seem talented and available for a decent price. So people who have watched either in action, what would you say their strengths and weaknesses are?
 
Depay is younger and if managed right could be world class.

Konoplayanka would be an improvement on our wingers.
 
Depay has talent but looks a little like he has Nani-brain. Kopo is a dull touchline hugger. I'd go with Depay as he's younger and has more potential.
 
Ideally I'd have neither but if forced to pick one probably Memphis Depay.
 
Depay does look like he has more potential but he does play in a league where defending is quite questionable, not that Ukraine league is anything special, but it is a lot more physical. Given the choice of the two I'd still take Depay, he does look like he could become a very good player, could go either way with him really, but at the moment there is not much between the two and Depay is 4 years younger.
 
I haven't seen much of Depay, but i'd definitely have Konoplyanka as a squad player to replace the likes of Young or Nani.
 
Depay seems the more exciting transfer to me, Konoplyanka is probably about as good as he'll ever be whereas Depay still has time to become something great
