Well done to the club on backing the manager, and fast. I'd be a lot more exited if even one of LvG's signings so far had improved our first team though.
Dutch reports say the transfer fee with bonusses can reach a total of 32m Euro, the initial fee is 27,5m Euro.
Yesterday the last thing I read was that we've had made contact, today I woke up to 22 alerts
There he is, thought you might've jizzed yourself so hard you couldn't move for a day or so. Cheers Max
Di Maria was like August 26th or something, it only became serious late on as well. Was just unrealistic rumours before that. Rojo took forever to confirm get the work permit, but until the last week we only had Shaw and Herrera I think.
Oh shit...Woodward...
I always miss transfers involving dutch players...RVP i was out drinking, Depay I was out voting.

Such wonderful news to wake up to!Great signing, but can Memphis sing the blues?
Guess you have missed Herrera being probably our best performing outfield player in the games he has played this season, or Blind being versatile and solid consistently, or Shaw's showing great promise when he hasn't been injured, or Rojo looking better every game while he adapted to the league... Even Di Maria has improved us despite not performing at all, purely because he's been pretty productive.
Not to mention Nigel de Jong
We could sign 5 or 6 players by early June and some would still spend their days hanging on every new rumourWould be hilarious if we do all our business before June 15th. The transfer forum would implode.
Well done, Ed Woodward! Fast and quiet transfer, refreshing to actually see us do business early!
Credit for getting Coutinho though, at that price he's been a magnificent signing.
Depay is an incredible talent....well chuffed that we've got him. He's got everything we've lacked this season - pace, direct and not afraid to take on a full back! Bring on more signings as soon as possible!!
SWEET POTATO FRIES IT'S DONE!
Exciting signing!! I hope van Gaal will sort out his attitude though.
Not in the same category. Not as quick, not as agile, not as good a touch, not as many ways of shooting. But Robben was absolutely sensational at that and even younger age. But he's strong and quick, industrious and can get past a defender with his first touch.
Our best window in about 4 years.
Some would argue he isn't that pacey and not one to try and beat a full back.
Delighted with the signing, can see a lot of Eden Hazard in him.
It's from his facebook account.
Not very smart of Depay to sign so early on. A player that is ours will become blasé very fast. We like our special signings to come on the last day.
The good thing is he will get a full pre-season with us. Another good thing is we won't need to read thousands of pages of transfer rumours. I can already sense the panic the twitter and newspaper guys who had gathered tons of material for the summer and now the story has run dry! HAHA! I love it
Cheers to a good signing! Hope we splash at least £150m on top of this now!

According to Marcel Brands there is no #ManchesterUnited player involved in the deal by #Memphis
To be fair, I remember watching a few Liverpool games back then and thinking, Jesus that lad is talented. That was before the hype started mind, he has massive potential.
Just saw the news at lunch. Get in! Woody seems like he's getting business done quickly!
That left side is looking ridiculously sexy. That right side needs some work though, I hope we keep Nani and buy a proper RB
The only player you mentioned who has held and improved the first 11 is Herrera, and he was targeted by Moyes. I don't dislike any of the players you mention, but none of them have cemented their future in the team. I probably shouldn't have posted in here because I am quite glad we've signed Depay, but so far LvG's signings have improved our bench considerably more than our first 11.
Memphis Depay - 176 - right footed - left winger (has only played on the right at times in his youth but was wasted there - not suitable as striker)
He prefers to be called Memphis since he's had no contact with his father and therefore doesn't want his his father's name Depay.
He's a winger who started out always trying to beat his man but he's now becoming a complete forward. He can now do everything (headers, left foot, link up play, crosses, freekicks) but needs to become more consistent. Has all the attributes to reach the top: drive, physicality, great shot, no real weakness in his game.
1. Yes, he's a direct winger who's involved in scoring goals - either himself or he's involved in the attack. He's got a fantastic shot.
2. Under van Gaal probably - but he hasn't been at PSV. This year he only played left forward in 433 but he has freedom to roam since PSV have a superb attacking leftback who's almost like a LW
4. Yes, the guy is built like a tank and has done against every level of opponent so far in his short carreer. He will fit in but might need some time, still only 21

It appears the issue holding up this signing was me renewing my ST for next year. Did it this morning and 20 minutes later he's signed. Lovely start to the day!
Excited for him at United? Do you think he'll be a hit?
I've got a great feeling about this.
So many players Liverpool were supposed to sign like Miki, Salah, Costa, Willian, Sanchez, Konoplyanka and now Depay. How do you keep that guy!?
Therefore he shall be called Memphis from this moment on by myself.
Aye, and he'll be gone before long.
"W@nking to Memphis" - Marc Cohn
Nice way to introduce yourself. Good lad.
I've been following him for 4 years, of course I'm excited he plays for the 2 clubs I support
I have no doubt he will be a hit. At the very worst he'll play for a club like Everton in the future, but I believe he will be a worldclass player.
Is he our Eden Hazard or is that too generous?
Aye, as long a shis dad doesn't do a "Waterboy" (Adam Sandler) on us to feck up this signing!
On a serious note, very excited by this signing.
Ah now, don't be so negative
