Records are there to be broken.
A player may be playing under another different manager and his records may shoot up and be a great signing.
EtH might invigorate him just like the rest of the squad has till now.
Memphis Depay (stays)

why do we spunk the jocks every time someone makes up a clickbait tweet?
maybe for 5 mil?
How old is Depay now? Must be reaching 30 soon?
Seems like a good dude but he will underwhelm again.
Just turned 28
With the striker market and our limited funds to replace Ronaldo I wonder who you lot fancy ahead of Depay?
If it was a condition of the De Jong sale, then yes. Otherwise, feck Barca.
He’s quite good and I don’t understand why people are turning their noses at him, considering our forward depth is moody martial and then feck else.
I'd take him as a cheap option. Not many good forwards available and I think he is actually decent.
Especially under our dutch manager, I was privately thinking it won't be a bad signing even before the link. We were linked to fecking Brobbey and some bundesliga forward, I'll take Depay all day.
I am intrigued but it’s probably a bad idea.
Yeah I'll admit I don't want him because he flopped here, and don't like the whole superstar aura he gives off. But I'd like to know from those that think he's not good enough, who the better alternatives are
Maybe we can buy Di Maria, Valencia and Owen as well.
Allegedly, he's 28. He's actually been quite decent the last few years.
His head was fukked when he got the big United contract. I believe he drove a Bentley and wore fur coats. If we're going to even think about bringing him back I'd want to be sure he's purged all that nonsense out of his system. Lingard and :Pogba are gone...we don't need another headcase.
feck noSome of you lot would sign Robbie Savage if it meant you could boast about a new signing.
So, when are we signing Lukaku back?
Depay has had his chance, let's move on.

Wasn't good enough when he was here before
Coming off poor season
Heading into downside of career (likely performance drop and little to no value in future)
Doesn't seem to fit ETH system
And, most importantly... why are we even considering helping Barca with their financial issues with what they are doing in regards to FDJ?

The idea that a player isn't good enough to return because he flopped when he was young is ridiculous. Zaha has gone on to be a good player, Pique didn't pull up any trees here, Lukaku went to Italy and flourished. Its a completely different situation and different environment. There's no reason he couldn't come back here and be a decent signing, especially given the low fee and lack of decent options on the market right now.
I don't rate him and he will probably frustrate me but for £20 'd take Carlton Cole. That's unbelievably cheap in todays market
Im guessing it'd some how be linked to Frenkie
he hasn't exactly "proved himself" in a top tier league since he left. I doubt he has even improved much. Pique was an academy player whose rout was blocked by 2 WC CB. Completely insane comparison. Zaha is still not good enough for us and neither is Lukaku hence why he is back on loan to Italy.
Not a bad price if true. I'd take him back. He's had a very decent season at Barca. He would fit ETHs style nicely too.
Because all they remember is his time with us and not his development at Lyon nor his time most recently with Barca.
Hell no
There was a short video of four Barca players in Miami having fun on the beach. A player who would join us for money, a player who is too interested in the show business part of football, a player whose supreme talent has been overshadowed by injuries, and a player whose supreme talent has been overshadowed by questions about his professionalism. A target rich environment, as one may say, for us.
Pretty much this. There's no doubt he was shambolic at Old Trafford. The header back to the keeper that led to a goal conceded.
But since then he's been quite decent, if not highly impressive. Ronaldo wants out and we'll see whether he goes, but if he does go we'll need a CF. Some might argue we have Martial, so there's nothing to worry about, but the truth is that we can't count on Martial for an entire season.
Please no.
Not sure why Antony would be such a priority especially at the prices we are being quoted -- unless ETH wants to play him centrally. We do have RW options at the moment. But only one CF who has not had the best track record.
Why would we want this rubber Jonny ? You had your chance but you’re destined to be discarded like a used sheath in the gutter
As, a striker to compete with Martial yeah. I suspect Barca's valuation may be unrealistic though.
No fooking way. Get Antony if we want a player thats unpredictable.
28? Not signing this geriatric
If we're this worried about depth up front then we might as well first ask whether Ighalo is available again.
Easy he is a rapper not a dabber
For £20m? Hell yes, it is a steal for that sum.
Wouldn’t mind him for a decent price. Absolutely can’t see it happening though
Why do you hate Martial
