Thought I've seen it all in football until today when I saw a winger who actually can't run, let alone dribble. An absolute disgrace of a player. We need to find a way to terminate his contract and if that's not possible I demand a refund, paid in full, for this impostor.

Not great cameo but what can you do, we've left ourselves so short of attacking options we don't have much choice but to use him.
lolRVP lost the rag with him because he wouldn't pass him the ball.
RVP said, "You think you're a big boy?" or something like that. Depay replied, "Do big boys play for Fenabache?"
Also, "Low Depay"
As I kept on saying well before we signed him, Depay was exactly the kind of player we did not need. So many people deluded themselves on what kind of player he was after reading the bollocks from Max.
As it is I have no idea what we can do with him. We'll have to play him as a striker or #10 to get anything out of him as LVG had realized early on.

He is young. His confidence is shot. Based solely on his performances he looks nothing special. I hope he can build into more in the coming years but he needs a manager who can bring back his belief and he needs to start doing the easy things instead of trying exaggerated back heels and such.
Stick him upfront.
He's exactly what Valencia would be like being played on the left, except Tony has much better acceleration.

@NL Max where art thou?
Most fecking annoying this about him is that when he comes on Martial gets thrown on the right. He was grilling Ivanovic all game and Depay couldn't even run next to him.
Both Young and Martial are being unfairly treated because of Memphis. Is he van Gaal darling?
He really is bang average. Even at 21, he can't do a simple thing right.
Put a wild animal on instead of him and I'm sure it'd be as useful. Saddest part is I'm not even joking.
Don't like writing off young players and I really do want this guy to succeed here but I really struggle to see what he brings to the table. He looks and runs so heavy he is incapable of beating even the slowest of defenders (Ivanovic).
Still can't see anything he's actually good at.
guys and gals, maybe this is what he needs - a fecked up season where he gets put back in his place - just like Luke did last season and we all saw the difference in him this season before you know what happened.
Maybe the fact his history is fecked up, he had issues, he conquered them and took the Eredivisie by storm last season should give us hope.
Maybe he'll go away over the summer, gets a manager who believes in him and lets him "see the light" about what football is all about again and we go on to get a brilliant no. 7
i'm not writing him off yet - don't think it's fair. He's Dutch, living in Manch with no mates at the age of 21 - you tell me you'll do much better. Maybe he's at home wondering what to do with his money other than drink it away or spend it on prostitutes so he goes and buys a RR that he's been looking at for ages
and i'm one of the worst for his hopes but i just hate the way so many are writing him off as a loss / loser etc after 5 months in the PL
Episode II - a new hope folks

Ryan DeBabel
He'll come good. I can admit though I base this on absolutely no evidence.
Needs some time out of the limelight
Hopefully we strengthen the attacking options soon and he can play a bit less and get himself right

He said he's mint in interviews. Good enough for me
For example, Erik Lamela is a young player who came to this league with a huge price tag and struggled a long time but is now finally showing his worth
I'm Memphis with the right coaching and patience will deliver but the teams struggle and the manager isn't helping his cause

Gif of the run?
He must surely have more to offer than this. He must do, otherwise it makes no sense how he's made it this far as a professional footballer. Maybe he should go back on loan to PSV for the second half of the season. Try and restore some of that confidence and talent that he presumably must have.
Yup, I'll hold my hand up. I expected a lot more. even your prediction that he'd be a Dutch Ashley Young was wrong - it's a slant on Young!
I think that the final defense of Memphis apart from being Young and new to the League is the Di maria comparison. They're development since joining United are very similar, the light at the end of the tunnel being that di Maria seems to be doing very well for himself again in his new environment. Özils Arsenal career might be another story for the hopeful to cling on to.
He needs to cut out that rockstar Dwayne Johnson look, shave off those ridiculous sideburns, come to training in a sensible car and really put in the hours on the field.
He's 21, not really achieved or done much and thinks he's already made it as a footballer.

Ozil was never really that bad at Arsenal though, started very well but then struggled with injuries/laziness accusations. In reality he was actually quite good when he played, just this season he's been incredible. We really can never hold out on Memphis turning out like that.
Those YouTube videos are so deceiving.
So bad recently and tbh so bad all season. Give him time he may adapt but he's looking like an expensive mistake so far.
He had a forgettable first half of the season. Hasn't really showed glimpses of quality either, Martial and Shaw are miles ahead of him.
Let's hope he just needs time to adapt.

He should be the last player in the pecking order for wingers (for now).Need to restore his hungriness and put him away from the pressure for a while.
Well at least a lion could eat some opposition players or Rooney if we are lucky.
He is emblamatic of the team right now. All the ability is there but he hasnt got the mental drive yet. He needs to stop thinking hes already made it just by being here.
People wanting him sold are being too hasty. He has zero confidence at the moment and just can't do anything right.
At least he has done more than the best player in PL last season
God I hate 'I told you so' posts.
It's hard to see what we try next with him, he genuinely doesn't look quick enough or mobile enough to play on the wing in the PL and he's not getting the #10 role over Herrera at this point.
Put him upfront and keep Martial on the left. Try it.
This made me
Couldn't be much worse than what we've been seeing recently.
