Transfer Rumour Bolleaux

Thought Depay was a flash in the pan back when we were linked initially and haven't seen anything to suggest otherwise since he has been at United

He was the best player in the Dutch league the season before he moved by all accounts.I didn't watch him obviously but his highlights reel from that season is fairly incredible. I'm not sure that could be described as a flash in the pan but I get your point. Whether he has the commitment and self control to be a Spurs player under Poch I don't know but I do think it is worth a gamble for the right money. I didn't think Sissoko fitted the Spurs template either and they pulled the trigger on that deal rather surpisingly, so who knows.

whatever happened to the loan with a right to buy?

If he is crap we dont have to buy. Of course that did not really work with ade as he put it on for the loan period. But you would still get an idea as to what type of player and person he was.

Someone will buy him outright though so we wouldn't get a sniff like that

I guess it all depends on the risk vs the cost
 
If Depay came in then Poch/Levy would either have to swallow their pride and sell Sissoko, or loan out GKN. Otherwise we'd have 7 senior players for the 3 positions behind the CF

If he is better than those we have then I don't see the problem. Poch has already shown he can be ruthless with his own signings if need be.
 
Got me thinking. Where is Macheda now?
Is Janusjaz at Sunderland on loan or permanent?
Is Lingaard going to make it?

I would worry Depay is a billy big time Charlie out on the town buying Cristal and getting his Rolls Royce chromed. Requiring a lot of special attention each day. Not what Poch needs.

Mind you I thought that about Kevin the fresh prince Boateng and he did OK at Milan

Has he been in papers at all? Honestly I can't remember anything really like that. Our own Alli gets more off field headlines than this guy. I would be more worried with his work ethic and willingness to try force himself into contention for a first team starting spot. What goes on a Utd is somewhat baffling at times so I wouldn't judge him too harshly for not starting more there. I'm sure Levy could flip him on for a small profit/loss if need be anyway,

That's what they said when we appointed AVB.

And that is the end all and be all? Even if you mention AVB I believe players like Dembele, Lamela, Eriksen have thrived under Poch and his tactics.

I'm not saying Depay is the answer but it could be very different circumstances for various players for their current short comings.

Man U aren't any better than us. If they don't want him, why would we?

Sometimes players just arent suited to a club or manager or just don't work out somewhere for whatever reason. They just need a change to reinvigorate them. He's done nothing at Utd. Obviously nothing to say he will succeed at Spurs - some down to whether Poch thinks Depay has the raw abilities to improve us
 
We are short of goals and game changers.
For me top targets should be:
1. Chicharito
2. Lemar (Monaco)
3. Playmaker to put pressure on Eriksen, Bernardo Silva, Brakley, Siggi, one of.
4. a goal scoring, ideally two footed, winger from somewhere. Arnatouvic?
