I don't understand the journos, they still affirm that Depay met United representatives but they are now trying to make it looks like Liverpool lead the race because he also met them.

It's almost as if they're trying to use sensationalism to create more sales or clicks

This isn't Reuters or the BBC man, most of these scrubs have little credibility to begin with, they just involve multiple clubs even in a pretty straightforward transfer to generate more clicks and more revenue for the publishers. By continuously linking Liverpool as a serious option until Memphis finalizes his contract with United, they're basically hooking millions of fans who'll visit these sites for daily football updates.

eg. This is an article winding up Arsenal fans titled :

Borussia Dortmund's Ilkay Gundogan to snub Arsenal for Manchester United move
http://www.express.co.uk/sport/foot...-Borussia-Dortmund-Ilkay-Gundogan-Summer-Move

There's no basis behind the headline. It's all just predicated on the writer's unsubstatially opinion : "The midfielder has been mooted as a possible replacement for Gunners veteran Mikel Arteta". Really ? Mooted by whom ?

Yet it's presented as a fact. Deliberate ploy to bait Arsenal supporters.
 
If Depay is Liverpool bound, it's because we have pulled out and IMO the only reason for that would be Bale!
 
Just gonna leave this there.

Depay - 21
Hazard - 24
Sterling - 20
Young - 29
Bale - 25

The Liverpool rumours don't sound too unrealistic when you factor in DDG potentially leaving to Madrid, we might have our sights set on a Galactico who happens to play on the wing :angel:
 
Win/win either way for us isn't it? If he goes to Liverpool the it likely means we have our sighs set on Bale :drool:, If he joins us then we have one of Europe's best young talents!
 
It depends. If we spend the money bale would cost and he flops it obviously wouldn't be a win for us.
 
Could easily see him going to Liverpool. They still have some cache with players around the continent. If they offer him a decent wage and a starting place, something they can offer more of than any other team in for him, then he could easily join them. That's why I can't laugh at all these links to Liverpool being favourite sto sign him. That could easily be the case. And even if he doesn't go on to win much with Liverpool he's still putting himself in the shop window for future transfers.

That being said, I'm hoping that United's greater standing in Europe, greater spending power and the Dutch ties will sway Memphis. Playing time could be a decisive factor. We still have Di Maria on our team who can potentially be our best player when everything goes right. They'd be competing for the same position. Not to forget a resurgent Ashley Young. Liverpool don't have as many options.

Yeah. Not to belittle Liverpool (well, a bit then) but why would Depay ever chose them over us if we're genuinely interested? Better chance of trophies, LVG, biggest club in England etc. What can Liverpool offer? "You'll be our main man"?

Do Liverpool even play a formation that suits him? They seem persistent with the 3-4-3, and I can't see Depay wanting to be a wing back/left midfielder. He'd slot right into the 4-3-3 we're currently playing and battle it out with Young, which is a battle I'm sure he'd quickly win.

I suppose it's not over yet though. We look likely to finish top 4, but failing is still not impossible. He might just make his decision based on who finishes top 4.
 
Maybe Liverpool are going for the 'We Beat United to a Transfer by Bunging Lots of Money at the Target' trophy.
 
The Liverpool rumours are just being used to heap pressure on United by Depay's agent, more money and all that. That's my opinion on it at least.
 
There is a 0 % chance of him joining Liverpool.

You mean like Di Maria.....
 
Only reason why Liverpool are even in this it's because they have the same sponsor. That Under Armor shit.
 
Liverpool have Warrior, no?

Warrior are awful. I feel like it needs to be said more.
