Transfer Rumour Memphis Depay

[Frank Gallagher]

They offered 13. But we want a loan first

i thought they said 30... my bad.

 

[hktoffee]

united want £30m and lyon are prepared to pay it.

we only interested in a loan which united dont want.

Lyon offered £13m not £30m.

Lyon offered £13m not £30m.

[Chimpy Glassman]

[blulouie]

please above post. i heard it wrong!

Media saying Lyon offered 13 Utd want 15 (think it will be a bit more like) we want to loan him , Utd only want permanent deal.
Just pay it....we rich arnt we.

You reckon Koeman name dropping Depay in press conference was a smoke screen for Schneiderlin? I don't think we've any interest in Depay.

he never namedropped Depay in a presser mate.

He was asked his opinion on the player during an interview on Dutch TV.

We are/have been interested though. My thoughts are that he is a target, but we are maybe looking for other options considering we'd prefer a loan over a permanent deal...

£15m for Depay is the talk of the town.

No idea where £30m has come from.

Definitely worth the risk

 

[Papa Shango]

Id bite for 15M I reckon.

I have my reservations about him but 15M doesnt even buy you half a Troy Deeney these days.

 

[Baines' left foot]

Can't believe we're going to pay £30m for him.

 

[Frank Gallagher]

Can't believe we're going to pay £30m for him.

thats just the loan fee..

Depay is January's mata.

We won;t actually sign him, but the odd mention that we will gets everyone believing it.

If we wanted him we would have him now. We have just negotiated a deal with the same club for a different player. So why on earth would we have not done both at the same time if we wanted him?

If we did want to loan and united said no then that is end of negotiation then? If we have just changed our minds about signing him then united would be sorting this now not bidding against lyons and whoever else.

 

[Frank Gallagher]

he aint coming lads...

I think this may be the Schneiderlin scenario in reverse.

We badly wanted Schneiderlin, Utd knew that, they had other clubs bidding and could play hardball.

Utd want rid of Depay , we know that, Depay wants to stay in England, there does not appear to be any interest in him at the moment. I think we will sit tight and see what happens.

Utd cannot spend money indefinitely, Mourinho will be under pressure to trim the squad and recoup some money. I think this may drag for a while.

Pure conjecture.

This was always likely to drag on.

We'll be assessing other options. Doesn't mean we've dropped our interest.

The window shuts on February 2nd...
