I'm just saying different players thrive in different circumstances. Depay has scored 42 goals in 80 games for Holland. To say he's still unproven is a bit ignorant really.
Memphis Depay (stays)

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.

Why? He’s miles better than ighalo.
Really hope this doesn't happen because he's been bang average for Barcelona. Seems like a big fish in a small pond kind of person. Lyon was his level and that's the kind of club he should fine.
The only way I could see this happening is as a favour to Barcelona as part of securing the de Jong signing.
Don’t think it would work out again but we’ve now got ten Hag.. he can make players much better.. he’d be cheap and add depth to the front line. He’s another left sided player though.. got tons of them. Need a left footed right winger to be honest.
He was nothing more than an FFP exercise for Barca, free transfer and nice profit at the end.
I don’t mind him as competition for the 9 but he’s not good enough long term. Would be a bit of a underwhelming resigning.
I would definately go for this deal for 20m.
In situations where there are not many superstar no.9's, having multiple quality strikers is the best way to go about it. Chelsea used to do this with Drogba/Crespo/Gudjohnson till Drogba became a star. We also used this with Cole/Ole too.

Only if ETH wants him
This is one of the most ridiculous things I’ve ever seen
I can promise that he absolutely 100% without question will not rejoin United
If he’s a United player on September 1st I’ll happily eat a shoe and upload it

Exactly, is there anyone with any credibility reporting on this link?
Barcelona probably pushing it themselves to be honest.
#Payback. Let's make it happen boys.
For Frenkie.
For Frenkie.
With ETH as manager, I'd take him (back) as a decent sub/squad player/3rd-4th forward in a 4-3-3/4-2-3-1. Never as a Starting XI center forward.
Decent squad player if below 20M. Can play all 3 forward positions competently.
Anything over 12 million and its a big no.
We already have his son who is better than him alreadyfeck no
Some of you lot would sign Robbie Savage if it meant you could boast about a new signing.
Memphis is fine if it somehow gets the FDJ deal over the line.
On his own it would be a strange one.
That’s such a specific figure
I know.That’s such a specific figure
No chance.
The fee will probably go to De Jong and Barca can get two high profile earners off their books.
From what I remember they got Depay on a free anyway.

He's someone we are clearly not interested in
Didn't he diss the glazers in one of his shite raps?
Btw, he's on a modest salary at Barca.

Goldbridge will love him then.
Think people are mental to say no to this at 20 million, you would spend that money on some below average English player. Remember that we sold Dan James for more last year.
Depay is twice the player of James and I feel he has a point to prove if he ever came back. Not to mention, hes not having to deal with LVG terrible plays and Mourinho.

We need to have some music here..
Funny how James scored more goals at the same age
Is he a starter in the Dutch squad?
No. Absolutely not. If it was De Jong and Depay or neither, I'd choose neither.
He's 9 goals removed from becoming the all time top scorer.
Has been for years, he's actually not far off from being their all time scorer too.
He's tied for 2nd all time behind RVP
I wanna see you eat a shoe so I’m now onboard with it. Yum yum
Why not?
Because he's loco.
Stick that in your Cruyff and smoke it.
I knew @pocco was a bit mad with his Lego Pep love affair but this is a new level of crazy I don’t think the Caf has seen before.
He is pants, for 10m as a squad option yes.
Because Depay is shite and we'd basically be paying ridiculous money for De Jong. Honestly it's getting to the stage where De Jong is subconsciously reaching levels for certain people that he is not. Let's not forget that this is a player that has a reputation based on what he did a number of years ago at Ajax. I just think we're getting took to the cleaners if we go down this road and once again have the desperate idiot image that we were apparently trying to rid ourselves of.
Think about it, were going to pay for a player that has flopped here and done jack shit since, just to buy another player. Some of you are so desperate for this shiny new toy that you're blind to the shit show it would be.
Love affair? I can't remember the exact argument, that he was better than Ole? Or that he was doing a good job there? I stand by it.
Would be a shrewd signing.
