English Football Transfer Rumours & Deals (Non-Arsenal)

Depay to Man Utd confirmed, good signing to be honest.

£25-30m tho, he that good??

Ive never saw him much but he had a brilliant season, 20 odd goals I think and is only 21, so I think its an expected fee. Man Utd dont have many goal scoring wingers so its welcome for them.

Great signing for United.

[Zenith]

How can people even rate a player they know nothing about apart form stats? Lol. Dries Mertens had much better goal+assist rate and he's rather average. Eredivisie has hit what is arguably its all-time low and stats are very misleading - even Ajax are shocking nowadays with their salary cap policy. Terrific young athlete though, good dribbler and has a powerful strike on him but it all remains to be seen if he can also do it on the big stage against teams that actually know how to defend. Will also have to up his general play because even for Eredivisie standards it leaves a lot to be desired.

Another busy year for United, anyone being tracking who their other targets are. I assume they are looking for a CM/Play maker and a CF.

£30m, redcafe going crazy over how much of a good deal it is and that it leaves plenty left for other targets...

Ditch Herrera then? Can't see it, not so quickly. They need a DM far more than another ball player like Herrera, Mata, Carrick, etc. They could also use a striker with Rooney getting on a bit, RvP being a cripple, Falcao being below par and Hernández who looks to be one his way out.

Depay will be the new Babel (minus the dive vs us in the CL).

Admittedly I've not seen a lot of him but the bits I have seen have impressed me a lot. Looks like he could adapt well to the Premier League but obviously the caveat of only ever having played in Holland has to be considered. Lots of hype around him for a reason, though.

[Santi]

Depay is good but another striker/wide player especially at that price should not have been their priority.

[Angelito]

Haven't seen him play (Depay), so whatever.

United need a DM, ST, and a CB most. As Zenith said, with Falcao out, Chich out too, and van Persie ageing, a striker is a must for them. If rumors are to be believed, United are ready to sell di Maria should PSG come calling.

They'll spend well this summer. Just hope they don't end up with Hummels, Benzema, and Schneiderlin.

"Glad you're here, mate, but just watch and learn. This is how you play a long ball to Fellaini."

man united have the money to take the risk. but i think hes a very good signing actually.

[realtalk]

Don't know this depay guy much 25mill is a lot for a low hyped player. But not my money don't know why they need another wing forward but not my prob.

I heard chavs going after benteke now that would be a very shrewed purchase. A big guy with good pace ,finishing up top is rare. EPl ready ,Plus he already plays with hazard for Belgium.

isnt that much... its just how the market is now.

[Gunpowder]

I think they've overpaid but not that much. It's still better than buying an English prospect.

[Massa]

LvG is building a good squad. Don't know much about Depay but Gundogan is a quality signing. Playing the likes of Young and Fellaini was a temporary solution to their disjointed football. A Carrick/Herrrera/Gundogan midfield is very strong, as is a Depay/Rooney/Di Maria or Mata frontline
