Started the season on fire.
He's the muppet transfer of 2015, alongside Reus.
PSV had under 23 all dutch team out today and beat Ajax. Some good talents there.
3 games, 5 goals and an assist. Going to be one hell of a player.
Ajax could have been up 3-0 half time, PSV were just countering. Depay was quite shite the first half also.

I have a feeling we will bid for him at some stage. Maybe not this summer but in January.
Amazing. I looked at the score at 86' and it was still 0-0. Depay scored on 89' and 90'+3
His play isnt always great but he has the knack of scoring goals, he is really like the Ronaldo of today, always picks up a goal.
And we let him extend his contract so even if we want him a year from today, we are going to be paying more than what we should have. I guess thats just normal for us by now.

Why in the hell did the first two guys slide in? That was horrible defending.
It's like me on FIFA. The team PSV played were from Belarus which might go someway towards explaining it.
Dont think we'll ever sign him by the way, with di Maria, Mata, Januzaj there.
I take it you haven't seen lot of games in the Dutch league.
It's like choosing who will be the GK in the school team. It's always the fat kid with the glasses.
I think there's room for him behind Valencia and Young. After all, we got rid of Nani, Zaha and Bebe this summer.
Plus Reus next summer. He can always sit next to Mata on the bench.
If we go 4-3-3 why not ?
How would he fit in? Except if we play di Maria in midfield and bench Januzaj/Mata?
3 wingers/wide forwards is not that much for a 4-3-3. Plus Januzaj and Depay are pretty young.
And Mata is a #10 anyway.
True, but Depay strikes me as the guy who will do anything to become world class, dont think he will want to sit on the bench, and that's not best for him.
Depay simply has to be our big summer signing next year...He might just be the final piece to the LVG jigsaw 1 year from now
Depay---Rooney/RvP---Januzaj
Di Maria---Herrera
Carrick/New CDM
Alternative 2
Di Maria/Depay---Rooney/RvP---Januzaj
Mata/Kagawa
Herrera---Carrick/New CM
Really wished we'd have tried to sign him this summer.

Really want us to sign this lad. We need another wide option if the 433 is a genuine option.
Only the Dutch league and all that, but he's started with a bang, that's 8 goals and 3 assists in 6 games. Looked promising from the odd game last year and a real handful at the World Cup. Van Gaal will obviously know him well but he looks to have top draw potential.

In my ideal United world, we sign this lad next summer and keep Welbeck. Di Maria, Januzaj, Welbeck and him as our wide options in a 4-3-3 system is good enough for me.
If he'll keep demolishing defenses like he already does then it won't escape Van Gaal's attention. Robben hitting his 30's so Oranje will have to slowly look for a new engine. The chances he received on the World Cup will help greatly in accommodating to United's philosophy if Louie decide to pursue.
I think we can afford to let him stay at Holland for at least another year. I think he will want a move to United under van Gaal if we ever do come calling, so there's no real rush.
Not needed anymore. There is plenty of depth in attack and he will want to start next season.

He plays on the left so you would have to drop two of the mentioned players to fit him in.

Only one thing to dislike and maybe I'm reading too much into it. But it was rather uncool to cold-shoulder Cocu like that.
100% agree. Those are brilliant and contrasting wide options.
I genuinely think we could end up paying double the price though and would obviously risk missing out with other clubs around.
Your 433 has no real pace at all though and neither Rooney nor Mata are wide players. I'd sooner drop RVP who at this moment in time offers nothing to the side, and start the other two.

January transfer window.
BTW He really reminds me of Hazard for some reason.
