Firmino is pretty much more of a AM than a Wide player though.
He can play effectively from wide though if we don't set up rigidly, if we played 3 behind the striker like Chelsea and Arsenal do and gave those 3 license to interchange.
One would be hard enough to find, let alone two.
Another player who likes to go into central areas. Walcott is the one they miss
Depay certainly isn't a natural winger who'd dribble past his man and put in some good crosses. He's more like a wide forward than a winger. Most of the times he'll cut inside and try to pop up with the goals. He's very pacey but his dribbling isn't so special imo although he's a good passer and can put in a decent shift. He's best as a roaming wide forward imo.
Hasn't scored in his last two games though i think so i'm sure he's relieved.
Seriously? Draxler looks like he's got the potential to be world class but I'm not sure Depay ever will be.
Draxler hasn't looked like that for a good 18 months or so.
He is carrying the team since last season, to be so young but already a leader is also something special. He hasnt had the 2nd syndrome too, mentally incredibly strong.
When he's not scoring how is his overall game? Does he go missing until he scores? Does he help defend? Does he try win back a ball he loses and if so does he lose it a lot? What's his crossing and passing like?
He is always hard working and he defends properly, only he does have Ronaldo'esque matches, where he loses the ball often, doesnt give the right passes, hardly gets past players but yets scores, that's his main point of improvement. His attacking positioning is good, but he also misses plenty of chances, he could have had far more goals, PSV are the most attacking side in the Eredivisie. He has a very good cross, with both feet, when in form his passing is also above average, especially last season. In terms of style, he is really similar to Ronaldo.When he's not scoring how is his overall game? Does he go missing until he scores? Does he help defend?

Sorry for all the questions, I just haven't watch him play a full match
He is definitely better than Januzaj at the moment, they both have potential to be special, but I'm dead certain Depay will also become world class, he has a great mentality and is very determined.
Yeah I mean we can see that Draxler has the higher potential which is why I said it, I just think Depay gives us what we need now and comes so much cheaper that I'd just prefer him now. Januzaj and Depay are different enough, Janu and Draxler might be a bit similar in that they both try to occupy inside space and play through balls. Depays pace and power, width gives us some balance
As a winger Depay is better and always will be, as a #10 Januzaj will be a better player. There is no need to loan Januzaj out he will enough game time at utd/u21 to develop.
Agreed. We need to see how Januzaj performs as a regular starter. It will be good for his development.
I think we need to loan him out so he can progress his career if he plays regular in the U21's then he'll never reach his potential, he is above that level though so it's a little easy for him but he won't get much game time here in the first team so he definitely needs to be loaned to a team that can guarantee him regular playtime preferably in the premiership.
Yes as I said to guy above send him on loan to a half decent team preferably in the Bpl that can guarantee him good minutes and we'll see if he develops.
We've yet to even sign Depay and you're already wanting to send him out on loan.
He's talking about Januzaj...
whoooosh

Yes it is, the Feyenoord couldnt go to Eindhoven today (due to security, train reasons etc) , and that's unfair so its postponed again.
Has to do with Away Fans and all that. Bunch of bollocks
I see, they should have just reimbursed the fans that couldn't get and played the game.
