Perfect for us then!
Memphis Depay | PSV confirm deal with Man Utd is agreed!
- Thread starter GledTheRed
- Start date
-
In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) are here to discuss Amad saving our blushes in a win against Southampton as well as our now annual loss at home to Brighton. They discuss Amorim's post-match comments, revisit how mid-table we may or may not be, and discuss some transfer news.

In the fact that he is keeping us all guessing, liking certain tweets etc.
Understatement.
Didn't Sir Alex say it was a similar case to Nasri? We just weren't willing to pay 6m in agent fees.
I mean he said that he was going to Manchester but didn't say which side. Then a week later he signs for Chelsea.
Chelsea were European champs, we went trophyless (City were PL champions).
And they finished 6th in the PL plus they did not have a manager.
Yo might have undone us and helped the Sun with their headlines.
So Depay is choosing between clubs, eh? Maybe he'll announce his decision on twatter as well.
Boooooooooooo
Their wide players are getting old, and Depay is one of the best young wingers on the market next summer. It would make sense.
GTFO.
Weren't they CL winners that season? I think that swayed him
Dutch journalist on Radio Manchester just now (Geert Langendorff - no idea how reliable) said that Depay might well talk to other clubs but he fully expects him to sign for us because of the van Gaal factor. Apparently LVG has worked with a couple of the PSV directors/staff before, which might help.
Cocks in or Cocks out?
He's a Dutch Manchester United journo, he probably doesn't know more than Thijs Slegers/Rik Elfrink would. In Holland the general idea is that Memphis is going to choose for United because of the van Gaal link, so it isn't weird that he thinks the same. The general consensus is that us would be the best choice for him, and that he's just checking his options first (this will help him negotiating for his wages aswell).
Van Gaal knows how to deal with Dutch clubs. If he wants he can complete the deal within days, he knows where he stands with PSV (headcoach Cocu was one his former Barca players). So that's probably what he meant by that. The Blind deal was done very quick aswell.
RVP is supposed to be his mentor too, like an older brother, I'd imagine.
Don't get over confident guys or the disappointment will be even greater! I want Memphis to join us as well but.
Depay on the left, Januzaj on the right, problem solved. Adnan has to improve anyway if he wants to play a part in the starting XI.But I am still sure he will.
I fully expect him to be confirmed before transfer window opens.
Please, not another Thiago. We must have him.
Januzaj will have to get in line behind Mata and Di Maria first.
Which is very unlikely to happen anytime soon considering they are both young and considerably better than him. Young is ahead of him too but he probably has 2-3 years maximum left.
It's a great free kick but the goalkeeper should do a hell of a lot better there.
He won't chose Bayern while half the Dutch team are at United. Signing Depay will also mean RVP will get at least another year to mentor if nothing else.
This has Thiago written all over it whatever happens. The player will either join his mentor like Thiago did with joining Pep at Bayern. Or, like Thiago, a player seemingly certainty to sign for United doesn't end up doing so.
I get the impression that Dutch clubs are happy to sell their Dutch players to Van Gaal as they know the education they will receive and that the national team will benefit. That's not always the case when you sell a young player abroad.
What about Young and Mata? And Lingard as well.
Lingard will be sold at the end of season I imagine. 22 years old with a single PL start.
He started the Swansea home defeat and got injured.
Both. The friction is absolutely essential to any sexual act.
If a player has a chance to join us and doesn't, I instantly think less of him and know he will fail because he is clearly a stupid idiot.
I expect Memphis is smart, and if he is then we will see him sign for United.

Yeah, that's the single PL start.
As a right back (both valencia and Rafel were injured). He'll be gone IMO, there is no point on keeping him. Mos tlikely he'll be decent for a midtable club and a starter for a team that fights relegation in EPL/aspires promotion on Championship. But not for us or any other top 6 team.
Lingard looks talented but he'll be 23 in December, very few players have broken through at big clubs at 23 and succeeded. He could probably be a squad player for us and play about 10 games a season but he'll be much better off looking for a challenge elsewhere because he could easily be left out again and approach 25-26 with virtually no games to his name, can't see him having a good career from there. It's probably his last chance to build a decent career for himself.
Was just thinking about Marquinhos and Luke Shaw's transfer fees. On Ando's wiki it says he costed 30 million euro in 2007 which is 8 years ago. Loads of other insane fees over the years, and especially the last two years things have exploded.
So my question is, how the hell is Memphis who has a contract at PSV until 2018, estimated at only 25 million pounds? It's obvious that Memphis wants a transfer, so that might lower the price a little - no way PSV is going to keep a very unhappy player who they could've sold for a club record fee.
But coming to think about it, I find it rather strange that the price mentioned for Memphis isn't higher, I'd say in today's market it should be like a 30 million Pounds \ 40 million Euro minimum.
Especially with PSG in the mix, they apparently paid 45 million Euro / 35 million pounds for Lucas Moura.

Because's he's from the Dutch league. Look at how much Blind cost, or Eriksen. Or Suarez. 30 million euros is maximum I'd say. The only way that could be beaten is if there was some Messi like player who already has a 100 goals behind his name by 21 years old. And the Euro is quite low again at the moment. You get 20 euro cents more per pound than a year ago.
Also, that 2018 contract says little. When Depay extended last season they came to an agreement that he would be allowed to leave this summer. PSG being in the mix doesn't matter much in this case, they're leaving it upto Depay where he wants to go. It's all in good faith basically.
