How is Manchester anyway?
Bloody awful!
I doubt it, we get French in school but that wasn't a very good time for him. Language shouldn't really be an issue though when moving somewhere, can easily be pick up.
Bullshit. I don't live there but my sister does and I've been there around 10 times. Absolutely great city in my opinion. Huge mall (Arndale) right in the middle of the city. Trafford Centre which is the biggest mall in west Europe is just outside the city. Many great restaurants and places to go out. I even love the weather there!
Is that what we're famous for these days?
Lol, like I said, I haven't lived there and it's a lot cheaper than Norway so I tend to spend most of my time shopping. That's why I mentioned the malls.
I was only joking but you need to get out of the cultural gutter. The Trafford Centre is a terrible place!
What? It's a great place for shopping. I don't know what you want it to be when you say it's terrible.
Geez ppl stay on topic .
I am only teasing but the faux Roman decor is very tacky. But yes, it is a great place for shopping. I prefer the City centre by a long way though.
I love the city and am very proud to be a Mancunian but while it's a great city for young professionals I'm not sure it's a greatly entertaining place for ambitious young footballers with shedloads of cash.
Agreed. While I've never been to Manchester, it seems like a great cultural hub and all-around great city. But when you're a young football star earning a crap load of money by the week, it's hard not to be tempted by more "flashy" cities. Though in my opinion, I think Paris is a bit overrated. Barca would be a city that would be nearly impossible to compete with in terms of attraction for young footballers.
I go a fair bit and never actually buy anything or look in the shops. They're terrible.
You quoted me saying Bale - Depay - Di Maria
But then you mention Ashley Young and Rooney.
Bar the climate, I don't think that there is much difference to be fair. Of course if the player in question is Ronaldinho or Maicon then yeah, but most of the players are professional and it is not that they spent their evenings going to nice bars and staying late.
I'm sure Louis can introduce Memphis to Wings. From there it's a formality to embrace the Manchester life for Dutch folk, right?
Since when did the city become the be all and end all in th decision making process?
Personally I prefer Manchester, but in also opposed to living in cities so I guess for me Manchester is the lesser of 2 evils lol. But I can never understand people talking about how great Paris is. Sure it's cool to look at the sites and eat the nice good but after a few days of crowded, dirty streets and constantly dealing with scammers trying to take your money, it gets pretty old.
The Mirror says he met with Liverpool this week and they look set to make the signing.
He went to Liverpool, PSG and Manchester United with his agent. He hasn't chosen yet, but we obviously have the best pulling power with CL (probably), our wages and van Gaal. It's no done deal yet, but I have faith
What can they offer that we cant?
Brenton Rodgers
Brenton Rodgers. Get it right.
Tony Evans on Depay
Its at this point we point out he was not good enough anyway, and he would not suit the system either, Liverpool are welcome to him, etc, etc
He's not coming lads, not since the Dutch Pancake House closed down.
I was getting worried there, Liverpool fans were getting really excited because of a report on the daily mirror. 
Come on, there's no way he'll choose Liverpool
It is a great city, but I'm not sure I've ever heard anybody cite the Arndale centre as a reason why before! I can't picture the lure of TK Max, Aldi and Wilko being quite enough for your average Premier League footballer.
The Arndale isn't a selling point but since it was revamped it's a hell or a lot nicer than it used to be. It's barely any different to the Trafford Centre really.
Di Maria and Mata could keep Depay out of the lineup. Sterling too, but Lallana and Markovic won't scare him.
Reading reports that Depay decided to stay with PSV. Manchester and Paris just couldn't compete with the glorious city of Eindhoven.
It is only a 1hr flight from London, hard to blame him.
Manchester. Nicer than it used to be.
You should work for the tourist board.
you know what I mean, the Arndale used to be a dump, it's nice now.Add in the triangle, Spinningfields, King St, Harvey Nics, Selfridges etc, there's plenty of great shops in the city centre.
If the location is that important to him, then he's not made to play for our club.
Rawk and other Liverpool forums seem convinced they are getting him. This will suck big time if its true. Depay will be a major star in another 2 or 3 years.
I don't think he'll reject both us and PSG for Liverpool.
