Long distance information, give me Memphis

[LeTallecWiz]

We're not as good a side as the other clubs that are interested in him, we don't play in the champions League, and we pay less in wages.

If you were Depay, would you come to us?

Bayern - would need to compete with Muller, Ribery, Goetze, Lewandoski etc for a role in Pep's front 3.
Manure - would start most games.
Liverpool - would start most games.

So we have a chance - albeit a small one.

If any one of Bayern, Dortmund, United, Arsenal, City, Chelsea, Spurs, Barca, Real, Atletico, Inter, or Juve come in for him, we'll be at the bottom of that list.

Unless no one else wants him, and/or we miraculously decide to offer him 200 grand a week, then he's going elsewhere.

 

[cloggypop]

If we are as far as negotiating with his management we have a chance.

PSV are talking about hopefully a quick sale though so we are bound to piss them off at that point.

 

[DHSC]

Maddock says we are.

I think there are some young players who will come to us because they'll play.

Bayern - he won't
Dortmund - just lost their manager and will probably be in the same tournament as us next year
United - good chance
Arsenal - will struggle to start week win, week out
City - they need to buy english no?
Chelsea - he won't
Spurs - We're a more attractive proposition still.
Barca - he won't
Madrid - he won't
Athleti - good chance
Inter - no real money in Italian game ... I doubt he's moving there
Juve - he won't


If we're interesting - and I don't know if we are based on the Ross Theory - we have a decent shot ... especially if we're already negotiating with his management team. MAYBE we've finally realized that waiting isn't worthwhile in signing targets?

 

[cloggypop]

Here's the Dutch article from yesterday in De Telegraaf saying us and PSG have been given permission to talk to his management.

And here is today's news from a local Eindhoven journo about Bayern Munich being interested.

Both are in Dutch.

This trumps CL footy and all the rest of the bollocks.

 

[Best Believe It]

This trumps CL footy and all the rest of the bollocks.

Yep. This was Man Utd's gamble last summer - outbid clubs on transfer fees and pay higher for wages if necessary. I suspect it's what we'll have to do to sign the 3 - 4 top class players we need this summer.

 

[Brizzle]

We need to get Dirk and Babel in this guys ear, stat!

 

[keniget]

Feels like the next Willian / Henrik / Costa / Sanchez / etc.

 

[ibromurph]

Feels like the next Willian / Henrik / Costa / Sanchez / etc.

He'll use us to get a bumper deal elsewhere.

 

[RedStar]

Reminds me of Robihno, not sure if thats a good thing. Hes got good skill and he can strike a ball but really not convinced. Only thing I can say for certain based on those vids is that the defending in the Dutch league is comically poor. Aly Cissohko would look like Paulo Maldini if he played over there

 

[Rafiagra]

No way will we sign this guy. He's seemingly got the pick of elite clubs after him.
Half the time I wonder whether it's a ploy by the club to try and convince that we're at that level.

 

[cloggypop]

If it's a ploy by a club it is PSV trying to drum up interest.

Paul Joyce of the Express is now saying we've jumped to the head of the queue for him, as he was very impressed with the 'vision' we presented to him.

 

[cloggypop]

Press over here are saying he had talks with the mancs on Wednesday.

Phillip Cocu has refused to say whether it is true or not.

 

[cloggypop]

Cocu is also talking about leaving the door open for Ibrahim Afellay. Pretty sure they are selling Depay.

This seems to be the local Eindhoven journo in the know(ish).

Unless he just wants to play in the Premier League, I would think he would have a hard time turning down PSG. Likely to play and get paid handsomely. Get CL still for the next few years and be able to move onto a better league in a few years.

I'd think going to Bayern to understudy and eventually replace the aging and injury-prone Robben and/or Ribery would seem more likely and logical. Still get paid well, and have greater chances of domestic and European honours, while playing with an entire team of top level players under a very successful manager. Given how often Robben and Ribery break down, he'd have a good chance to get a good number of games.

Mirror reporting that he met with us aswell.

Paul Joyce usually knows his stuff. Hopefully we'll be able to land one of our big targets this summer

Obviously he's not a Liverpool fan then.

Otherwise he'd have seen straight through that 'vision' shite.

He turned them down in January. He seems to want Premier League although he probably wanted to win the Eredivisie first as well.

Good old Bolo:

Zenden believes that Liverpool are a huge attraction for any player, something which he found out himself when playing for the Anfield club. Zenden's time at Liverpool was hampered by injuries but that hasn't soured his view and he believes they present a unique attraction of being the best supported club in the land. If more stability and specifically Van Gaal are advantages for Manchester United, then Zenden thinks Liverpool's fans present a reason to join that club "It's a very warm club with the most fans in England. But even there you have to watch what your prospects to play are."

This is just getting hopes up isn't it?
Fuck I'd love if it was true.

 

[cloggypop]

If the mancs get him I will probably mention how much of a tit he looked last week with his tattoos and baseball cap after PSV won the Eredivisie.

Pure gangsta knobhead.

Gwed Dirk!
