If and when Ronaldo leaves we are hanging our season on Martial as our No 9 for the season...... Id take this version of Memphis over Martial any day of the week. He has matured greatly as his career has gone on. Also there would be obvioulsy something for hinm to prove second time around. i like how this signing shapes up to be honest.
Memphis Depay (stays)

Would be typical of us to sign him and then lose him on a free wouldn't it?
How ever bad a finisher you think Martial is, Depay is worse. And speaking of 2nd chances we gave Pogba a 2nd chance. How did that turn out?

Juventus bound apparently
As much as I hate cringe footballers, I think I would give him another chance here. Better than nothing.

Juve getting him on a free, whilst we pony up £30m for fecking Moratta
Thanks feck for that, I don't fancy him at all.
Abit like Zaha for me. Not good enough. Best to give someone else the chance to come and actually succeed.
Someone like?
Think he will be great for Juventus, the league suits him. Juventus should try and get him and Vlahovic to work well up front together.
We don't have the pull.
Depay is utter crap. Was awful when he was here. Juventus dont have buy some crap players some times.
That excuse doesn't work when a 19-year-old Martial scored 17 goals and had 11 assists in the same season he was brought in.

He will do well in Italy. His pace and strength will let him bully opponents. Same as Lukaku.
he may well be a success in that environment and hopefully he is. You say it like there are no other options.
I am curious to those options you are talking about.
I am not seeing any option who is clearly good enough, and affordable with the other holes in the squad that need to be adressed as priorities.
Whichever forward we get, will be quite a gamble I think, but maybe you think otherwise.
Do you currently hold the same feelings towards Sancho? both roughly bought at the same age, both played roughly the same about of games ,one cost 2x more
Depay is a good player, would rather him than Morata.
You do know players are different and some will take longer than others to adapt
And interestingly I don't think Martial ever bettered his 1st season for Utd.
This has nothing to do with the post I quoted.
No!
He's turd
Only if he’s sold his Rolls Royce.
I wonder what supposed attitutde problems they mean. As far as I can see from the outside, Memphis is a top professional.
Dont want
I find it strange the reasoning for the anti Ronaldo crowd is work rate, yet Memphis is highly unpopular, while being one of the top forwards for distance covered and pressing in Europe.
Certainly quite a lot less turd than having to rely on Eriksen as a false 9 again though
Would work well in a EtH team
Is he happy being a sub? Probably not
Does he still own the hat..
Think he's a better fit for Chelsea than Aubameyang.
He wants to be a starter. Juventus want a backup. If he's going to be a backup, he'd rather stay where he is unless the money is monstrous
If hes happy to come here and be on the bench, and Barca are happy to let him leave on a free / loan him out and pay half his wages... still no... because I want to see barca scrambling around for more levers to pull when they realise Kounde can leave for free
I for one am glad they're intent on shooting themselves in the foot this window. Owner running negotiations, fired highly successful DOF / negotiator, missed out on Raphinha, Kounde and I forgot who else, about to overpay for Fofana and Auba and probably already overpaid for Cucurella.

Why would we offer 10m? He was off to Juve on a free.
For a guy they want to let go for free? They negotiated with him to cancel his contract ffs
Yeah, I'll take him back. Why not?
I thought he was going to terminate his contract, so why would we offer them 10m? And no, it's not a workaround to pay for De Jongs deferred wages, because I know someone will say that.
