Seeing what diMaria contributed in 70 mins,Depay and pacey,tricky little heads like him are exactly who we should be after.
Watching him from the start of te season and he reminds me of a younger,better Nani.
Cracking free kick on him.

Didnt he just sign a new contract at PSV?
i thought threads got locked once the immediate future was settled, but probably more at discretion of mods. I haven't heard any news on him moving since the contract thing.
Yeah, but that's nit happening innthis window.
I feel that if he keeps developping the way he does till now, and stays in PSV this year he could be one of Van Gaals targets next summer along with Reus who will want to move after they fail to win league again and end up in QF in champions league.. We could have than Januzaj, Reus, Depay, diMaria plus welbeck to play out wide. That could be enough to switch to 4-3-3 if we can get quality centremidfielder or two till that time(Strootman, Schneiderlin or whoever availible who fits the philosophy) If anything he could be a decent replacement for Zaha who will have a lot to do this year to prove himself. I think Van Gaal rates him but as we could see he doesnt rate him enough to be his starter. He wouldnt get much playing time anyway if we stick to 3-5-2. I am feeling confident about him. I think if we brought Blind who is two levels worse talent than Depay is, we could see Memphis soon here as well..
Id happily sign him and loan him back for 2 years. Game time is important for young players. But I dont have a spare £15m to be honest, so I can't.
Woah. This is 101 % what I was thinking with the exact same players.
Infact with Depay IMO he has the potential to play at a high level for United's starting XI. Been doing some trawling through the internet and his progress in 2013/ 2014 has been even better than Hazard's in 2010/ 2011 at Lille at the same age and in a league which at that time was a comparable in quality to the Eredivisie now.
Hazard
Games started : 42
Goals scored : 9
Assists provided : 8
Depay
Games played : 39
Goals scored : 13
Assists provided : 8
Hazard made another step up in 2011/ 2012 with 20 goals for the season and Depay has already scored 5 goals in just 4 games.
He is a little bit similar to Hazard, they are both quick and like playing fairly direct right? Still I think Depay lacks some of the subtlety and technique of Hazard but he does seem to have a better range shot and maybe a little more power.
Sign him and go 4-3-3.
Given our options seems the most logical thing to do really and the easiest one.

Did he play for Holland against Italy last night?
Didn't play.
That's strange given how well he's started the season.
We could do better and buy Muniain. Would prefer him to Depay.
Yup it was a really strange decision by Hiddink to start Jermaine Lens over Depay when the latter has lit up the Eredivisie this season. Maybe he didn't train well enough or picked up a knock in the buildup. Dunno what really went down...
Long distance information, give me Memphis Dapay
me find the party trying to get in touch with me
She could not leave her number, but I know who placed the call
'Cause my uncle took the message and he wrote it on the wall

In about 2 years time it's extremely possible that Depay will be better than Muniain

This is Louis and he's been trying to get in touch with me all day,

Im the other way,i really think hes going to be the next big thing holland will produce.
This young fella has the lot.
He's gone off the boil alot though hasn't he, Muniain?
Did he make the bench? I hope it's a Hiddink thing and not an attitude issue, he has so much potential it would be a shame to see it squandered.Yup it was a really strange decision by Hiddink to start Jermaine Lens over Depay when the latter has lit up the Eredivisie this season.

Umm as it turns out he was on the bench :
Subs not used: Van Der Wiel, Van Dijk, Verhaegh, Afellay, Fer, Klassen, Depay, Krul, Zoet.
But for some reason Hiddink chose not to use him. And yeah I'm hoping he stays level headed too.
Do the Dutch have a qualifier on Monday? Hopefully he was just saving him for that, I hate labeling players the new "insert name" but this lad reminds me a bit of Marc Overmars.Umm as it turns out he was on the bench :

Yep, I think a bit normal for someone who has been a first teamer since 16/17. He has stagnated a bit in the last couple of years. But I really like him, he is technically great and offers pace. But he can improve a lot, however for this to happen I feel he needs to leave Bilbao where he enjoys a god like status. Not easy not to get carried away when you have been breaking many records for your club since 16!
Yup. vs Czech Republic in Prague.

They're very different players though. Memphis geniunely has the mould, physique, stature to become a goalscoring threat of winger like Ronaldo or Bale. He's a bit of an animal, and has been destroying the Ererdivisie thus far. He's far more direct, quicker and physically stronger. He'll adapt a lot quicker too. I think he's what we need also, I do not see Muniain as a winger to be honest, rather a floating wide man with a decent level of pace who seeks to move infield. This season in Herrera's absence he will most likely move into a central position, or be more involved centrally, and that's where I see him having his most influence. Depay also has the same level of dedication that Ronaldo did, as some Dutch posters have mentioned, he has his own personal trainer and has been evolving physically and training to be at his physical peak - you know only have to look at a picture from this and compare him to last season to see that.
Also, price is a bit of an issue with Muniain. His release clause is now €45m.
Not a bad start to the season
? He is quick, not Ronaldo quick, but not one bit slower than Depay.
He is also playing in a much stronger league. But yeah, Depay could overtake him, especially if Muniain remains in stagnation for a while.
He isn't as quick as Depay. No chance.
Robben said Depay was faster than him.
Munain is technically better than Depay in terms of his first touch, vision, consistency of passing etc....but his physique holds his type of game back and as a athlete Depay is just a different level in terms of strength, pace and he has added shooting to his game more and more now and can become a real goalscoring threat if he isn't already along with a pretty good dribbler.
Plus he is mentally stronger than Muniain whose had problems with the mental side of the game.

I think Muniain could really struggle abroad, partly due to homesickness and partly due to the physicality of the league.. Depay I don't see having any such issues.
What a start to the season he's had. Hope we go for him next season
In what ways?January transfer window.
BTW He really reminds me of Hazard for some reason.
1. They're both very good dribblers. Obviously Hazard is a little faster and more refined, but Depay is extremely good too.
2. Both very strong on the ball, not easy to dispossess.
3. Both with a cracking shot from distance.
4. Depay is now strictly playing at the LAM position that Hazard plays for Chelsea.
5. Memphis is a bit taller but they both seem to have very good centers of gravity and balance.
6. Hazard's passing is a bit better but Depay is also improving all the time.
7. It's more stylistic than anything else TBF. Very similar to Hazard of Lille.
Maybe it's just me.

Nah I can see the similarities. Depay's a bit more a goal scorer though isn't he? I can't remember Hazard's tallies at Lille but Depay seems to be more about goals than Hazard
Think we should be in for this guy big style in January.
He would be an awesome addition and I hope we go for him. LVG wants pace in the team again. Defenders nightmare.
Might just be you. Hazard comes across as an immensely gifted technical player, smaller and much lighter than Depay.1. They're both very good dribblers. Obviously Hazard is a little faster and more refined, but Depay is extremely good too.

Depay seems more impressive physically for his age than technically and, unlike Hazard in my opinion, has a thunderous shot in his arsenal.
I'll enjoy watching both develop though.
Yup. Depay's scoring record is better as of now at similar stages of their career :
19 yr old Hazard : 9 goals and 9 assists in 42 starts.
19 yr old Depay : 13 goals and 8 assists in 39 starts.
He's on track to replicate Hazard's 20 goals in 45 starts at age 20 too. In 4 starts this season Depay has 5 goals. Only thing that might separate them is Hazard's exceptional record of assists in the final season at Lille. 16 in total. Depay has some serious catching up to do but it's possible with him playing upto 40+ games this term.
