He's obviously rusty, I mean how much game time has he actually had from around April last year?
See the Januzaj thread.An average performance is getting bumps. I'm trying to imagine what will happen in the event of a good performance. The Caf will erupt

Regardless of a shite or world class performance, Memphis no longer is our player. It is the Di Maria 2.0 thread where said player has already left us. No point in discussing that if we don't want them back.Eh what?
The thread was bumped before he even played, just to let people know he was playing, and every post after that was saying how shit he was.
Gunna guess that you didn't even read the thread and made a really shit presumption about why it was bumped and what the reactions were. And for what?
Why not? People are interested and curious to see how the career of a player there's previous emotional investment in develops. Whether their opinions and predictions are vindicated or not.Regardless of a shite or world class performance, Memphis no longer is our player.

yupI remember when we signed him and the Liverpool fans were furious that they had missed out on him.
If you don't want to discuss Depay then don't come into his thread?Regardless of a shite or world class performance, Memphis no longer is our player. It is the Di Maria 2.0 thread where said player has already left us. No point in discussing that if we don't want them back.
Obertan?We've got to accept that any player we sell will, at some point, have a good game.
I'm pretty sure even Bebe had a good game or 2 for Newcastle when we sold him.
Wouldn't worry about the odd few games, but when he's up for Ballon Dor or golden boot in his league.. Then i'll start wondering why we sold him!
Eh? Nobody is wondering why we sold him. Some people are just interested in seeing how he develops as they still like him even though he no longer plays for us. If people took an interest in Nicky Butt's career after he left was that weird too?We've got to accept that any player we sell will, at some point, have a good game.

SimpleIf you don't want to discuss Depay then don't come into his thread?
Precisely!Simple
The fact that there is a buy back clause if enough reason for some to keep an eye out if they want
Supposedly there's no such thing as buyback clauses in Ligue 1/France, but some Twitter journalists claim we have some sort of 'gentleman's agreement' to buy him back for 35m Euros.Do we have this buyback clause or what's the story?
....so it begins. Good bit of business getting first dibs on any future sell-on.Just scored his first goal for Lyon (ongoing match vs Nancy in Ligue 1):
Yeah I've been hearing conflicting reports alright..Supposedly there's no such thing as buyback clauses in Ligue 1/France, but some Twitter journalists claim we have some sort of 'gentleman's agreement' to buy him back for 35m Euros.
Dealing with lawyers on a regular basis, I'm certain they would draft the clause in such a way as to ensure it's a buy back in substance, but doesnt fall foul of the law. There's no way the club would allow this fact to be reported if it was completely false, given it's a significant transfer and the company's listed on a stock exchange.Think he won the penalty too.

Nonsense.You are talking League 1 here which is about on a par with the Dutch first division so don't get over excited..
Does anyone remember against Aston Villa I think he had an identical chance to that and put it the wrong side of the post?Just scored his first goal for Lyon (ongoing match vs Nancy in Ligue 1):
Nonsense. He clearly wasn't good enough, otherwise he would've demonstrated it.Another talent wasted by Mourinho.
Tongue-in-cheek fella after the disaster that is the Martial thread.Nonsense. He clearly wasn't good enough, otherwise he would've demonstrated it.
I'm reserving judgement until he plays some higher calibre teams - the right back looks atrocious for Nancy, giving him all sorts of space, which is dangerous.Played really well generally.
We do. Jose confirmed that.Do we have this buyback clause or what's the story?
