£21m doesn't buy you much these days. About what you would expect to pay for someone of Depay's profile. Let's hope he is more Van Nistelrooy or Suarez in quality rather than Kuyt, Kezman, Alves et al.
Memphis Depay | PSV confirm deal with Man Utd is agreed!

According to claims in Holland Memphis Depay is set to move to Man Utd in the summer for 30m Euro, 21M pound.
The article mentions no source though and the trusted ones in Holland, including Thijs Sleeggers mentioned nothing yet. Probably speculation but I'm still sure it's going to happen.
Depay is only a kid. Just gone 21. He will probably be looking at it long term.
It's a fair price considering the season he has having. I'm happy with that.
Don't put Kuyt in that second category. He wasn't as good as Suarez, but he was much better than the second group.
Doubt any CL teams will be after him.
Depay just favorited this tweet:
He scored a hell of a lot in Holland and didn't in England. He ended up playing as one of those attackers that don't score but run around a lot and is in the team to defend from the front. He belongs in that group.
He's somewhere in between the two groups. He was no Suarez, but he was much better than Alves. He belongs in neither.
That'd be an excellent piece of business. So excellent in fact, I don't believe it.
I'd say Depay falls into the 'can be relatively easily convinced even without Champions League football next season' bracket. It's a clear step up.
Well, that's interesting.
Would be an exciting signing if we do get him. We're in dire need of that type of player.
It is my grading system, thus I am the master of allocation. End of.
Your system is shit.
Is that a sleight on Depay's ability or implying no CL team needs a player in his position?
Interesting, but Depay is 21. At 21, Ronaldo was already one of the best players in the world.
It's a little harsh. Kezman played one season in the Premier League. And Alves managed one and a half.

Where would Park fall in? No where near as good as Suarez and RvN, but better than Alves and Kezman.
the system measures by two categories
1. Goal scoring players from the Dutch league that replicated their form in the Premier League
2. Goal scoring players that did not
As you can see - the system is flawless in concept and execution. Kuyt might have been the best of a bad bunch but he doesn't warrant a new category.
Oh, just seen the tweet above. That makes it more believable. PSVultra's isn't trusted at all but they mention AD, which is a national newspaper. I can't find anything on their website, but it might be in their paper tomorrow. The fact he favorited it himself says something..
I'm going full muppet mode
I'll keep you guys posted if the Dutch media comes up with anything.

Cheers bud!
Case closed. He's ours, lads.
I'm more excited about Depay favoriting it rather than the authenticity of the article. The Di Maria move all started on Instagram. Social media is great

The favourited tweet is from a couple of days ago, but even if the tweet itself is rubbish, it's a good sign he has favourited it anyway.
Do you lot think it's possible we can land both Depay and Bale(Assuming DDG leaves in the other direction) in the summer?

Found it, they link back to Daily Express who mention a swap deal of Di Maria for Bale in the same article.. But indeed, that he favorited it must say something. He might want to make a statement he wants to go to us?
Yeah, Daily Express are the worst paper in the universe for football transfers, so that'll be a load of nonsense.
Yup, looks like a statement to me. If we put a bid in, I think he'll go to us.
I doubt any of the big boys will be in for him, I don't think it will matter
Doubt we'd sign both of them, unless Di Maria jumps ship. I know he played well in CM last season for Madrid I think LVG (even myself for that matter) may believe he's too sloppy in possession to play there.
Muppet mode is starting early this year.
Sad but trueIt needs to, we need some excitement.
Translation ?
Well hopefully thats the winger sorted.
Barney must want Depay at Liddypool
