Memphis actually replies to facebook comments.:eek:
Memphis I just want you to know that you're one of my biggest inspirations right now... Hopefully you read this... Growing up I always wanted to be a footballer, it was my biggest dream just as you portray it today... Then I started getting into drugs and alcohol and all of my dreams that I chased soon got shattered... Well I'll be 34 in a few weeks and yet I still struggle with drugs and alcohol... I'll be checking myself into rehab tonight and finally this will be for the last time. I'm doing it for myself of course because I want to live again but I just want you to know that ever since I started watching you at last year's world cup I've followed your story and your journey to where you are today and nothing has inspired me more than to watch you want something so bad you'll do whatever it takes to achieve your dreams and goals. I'm going to get myself strong and healthy again and maybe I won't become a professional footballer anymore but you've certainly made me believe that we can achieve anything we put our minds to with hard work and focus... Thank you Memphis for doing what you do, you've given me a reason to live again and to never ever give up! God bless you and may you prosper from now until you decide to hang up your boots... #DreamChaser#DreamBelieveAchieve


Then, Depay replies

Thank you and don´t give up. You´ll get there.
 
RE the hala Madrid Tweet.

Im sure if twitter existed or if we check some of you guy's facebook statuses circa May 2007, we will see 'Forza Milan!!!'

Basically it doesnt mean anything. I went and checked the date, it was a classico match. At least not just a random match. Although I wouldnt put it past us to make him into a global star and for Madrid to come calling...
 
If anyone is interested in seeing a 7 year old me.. mphis play football, I just found this video.

 


For a minute I thought he had posted that during our game against Real Madrid in 2013 but then realized we played them at the beginning of February and March not end of February, turns out they played Barcelona that day.
 
Have you any pictures of him as a baby?

Has he agreed personal terms yet?
I assume so, the deal is done with PSV already and he's completed his medical.
 
I don't know what that is.

Anyway i'm fine with them debunking the rubbish, but they always look for ways things can be false. I can't be asked to go back and look but i think it was them that tried playing down the Memphis rumours too.

Which they were right about, we only got involved at the very end. Everyone's confirmed that PSG were the front runners for 99% of the process.

Don't want to take the tweets thread off-topic ;)

Manchester United only enquired once at PSV about Memphis, but made no contact afterwards. By then van Gaal knew everything he needed to complete the transfer if he wanted to. Memphis and his agent had freedom to speak to clubs and he (confirmed) has been to Liverpool and PSG. LvG doesn't want to sign anyone outside the transfer window so he keeps everything quiet but bought Memphis because he was about to sign for PSG. The transfer with Manchester United was done within 48 hours, therefore even Marcel Brands thought he was going to PSG because there were loads of other clubs who enquired but never made any contact afterwards. An agreement with PSG was very close and in the latest stages of completion, he said it would've been no problem to complete the deal with them.
 
@NL Max Can you explain why you twitted 'Hala Madrid' in 2013, that worries me a little bit.
 


It's so obvious he wants the 7. He shall fight Di Maria in the ring and the victorious fighter shall have the spoils of war.
 
I suspect he'll replace Januzaj as no 11 (with Januzaj going on loan somewhere)
 
He sure talks a good game, he'll need to get his head down and perform, let's see how it turns out.
 
Knowing we are going to be developing a potential world class talent for real madrid... Again... Really takes the shine off this transfer for me. He's not even calling us the best team in the world like LVG does, he says "one of" the best clubs in the world. If he becomes as good as we hope, he's off. And it pisses me off. No matter how many champions league we win the appeal of Real Madrid for players outside of England is greater then us unfortunately. And god knows why anyone would want to play there the way their fans treat the players and manager when they havent won a trophy for one season. :mad::mad::mad:

So you hate him for doing something he hasn't done yet, and might not ever do? You just think he will because he 'only' called Manchester United his dream club, but not 'the biggest in the world' and tweeted once about RM 2 years ago?

He preferred the premier league so there's a chance he stays for a long time to come, especially if he wins things. Let's not get ahead of ourselves here ;)

Its up to us as a club to stop dickin' around and start winning leagues and UCLs and being the most dominant club in footballing terms in Europe, then players are less likely to want to leave us to go to Real or Barca, obviously thats not an easy task, but if we want to keep our best players then we have to remain successful.

Woah, no?! I didn't say that at all. If anything its obviously the opposite. If he becomes as good as we hope, as good as it looks like he will, madrid will come knocking and he will go. I know no one knows whats happening in the future but my feeling is that he will want to follow in Ronaldo's footsteps and play for Madrid or Barce.

Im desperate for this guy to play for us for many many years. He looks awesome - but Madrid will want him if he does get that good - that's for sure.

Come on, he's not even kicked a ball for us yet!
