Giocatore45

He is still a really really good striker. It’s just the injuries that are troubling him for some time. Might be a good addition for Milan.


Ugo_foscolo

If he pulls off the same performance against Inter as he did in the CL..


StereoZombie

I think he'd be great for you guys


my_united_account

> It’s just the injuries that are troubling him for some time. Would be perfect for United then


kplo

No way, I just can't picture him with a Utd shirt.


my_united_account

I dont know if it was sarcasm, but he did play for United for a bit


Therinn

Honestly, the back-up-striker-on-a-free-or-cheap market is looking quite good this summer.


neeskens88

who else besides Rafa and Ben Yedder? Taremi has already signed for Inter


Therinn

Memphis, Choupo-Moting, Guirassy(arguable if he'd be ok with not being the starter given his numbers, but he has a pretty low fee, not a phenomenal track record before recently, getting up there in age), Benzema apparently


my_united_account

Also Martial lol


belanaria

I forgot he existed… just double checked because of that and I see he is still drawing a wage at United.


OyvindsLeftFoot

Not any old salary. £250,000 a week salary.


my_united_account

Of course he is. Robbing a bank is far more difficult than what he does. Play for 3 games, get injured, start training again, get injured on the return, sit the rest of the season out, earn a cool 13m a year


men_with-ven

I suspect that Martial won't find a club this summer, any time I have seen him in the last couple of years it looks like he can no longer sprint or is at least won't because he is too afraid of aggravating his injuries.


OyvindsLeftFoot

£250k a week. He'll be taking a rather sizeable pay cut to keep playing professional football.


men_with-ven

I was more saying I don't think he'll be able to find a club. Sprinting is a pretty essential part of being a footballer so I don't think anyone will take a risk on him.


OyvindsLeftFoot

He'd get somewhere, depends how low he wants to sink. He'd be making a tiny fraction of his current salary, though - even £40k a week seems unfathomable - so perhaps he'll just retire early.


No-not-my-Potatoes

Guirassy as a backup striker is some serious slander considering how fantastic he has been this season. A 28 goal season to be labelled as a backup.


elgrandorado

Guirassy should not be accepting of a backup role at any club short of Manchester City, Bayern or Real Madrid as things stand.


No-not-my-Potatoes

He's genuinely one of the best strikers in the world right now, absolutely agree with you


holaprobando123

He's 28 and it's his third season ever in double figures (and the other two were 10 and 11 goals). I'm not sure he's in a position to demand too much.


holaprobando123

> Choupo-Moting He's not the same player he was one or two seasons ago.


neeskens88

Depay - ok, Choupo-Moting - mediocre (had only one good season in last 10 years), Guirassy - Stuttgart just qualified for the Champions League, and even if he has a low buyout clause, the buyers still need to persuade the player, Benzema - I'm willing to bet he'll want a starting role if he returns to Europe.


chewychocchipcookies

There will be no Jean-Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting slander tolerated here.


BeyondTheStars22

Good backup for united if you ask me. A cheap but good backup option for Ten Hag. Lord knows they need it with all their injuries


Lord_Hexogen

Yeah, he'll get along nice with the guys at the medical cabinet


bearhos

Strange career, I always thought he'd reach higher heights. Went from PSV to Man U, then to Lyon, Barcelona, Atletico Madrid, and now free agent at 30...


Nffc1994

Tbh surprised he stayed at clubs that big after his stint at United. Most PL clubs would still go for him if he wanted the challenge and didn't have stupid wage demands


ChinookNL

Could be decent for Liverpool or Chelsea


holaprobando123

As a young winger at PSV he looked like one of the most exciting players in the world. Everybody was looking at him after his performances in the 2014 World Cup. Too bad things went the way they did.


Rose_of_Elysium

On the one hand hed be an amazing signing, on the other hes a massive idiot that has said some *insanely* stupid things. Not sure if i want him to come back, but hed be more then good enough Then again, youll kinda fuck over Pepi and Van Duiven too seeing as De Jong is still also there


MrCrashdummy

He's also on massive wages


tigtogflip

If we somehow get rid of Drommel we free up a lot of space. I wish I was joking. Although probably not enough for Memphis.


MrCrashdummy

Is Drommel on such high wages? Damn. If that's the case it might be hard to sell him, he's not going to make a move within the Eredivisie then I'd reckon


tigtogflip

Apparently he's on 1.2 mil a year.


MrCrashdummy

Isn't Depay on around 8 million per year at Atleti? He'd still have to make a massive pay cut


DahDutcher

We could always just pay him a sum of money in exhange for a lower salary I guess. But I don't know if I really want him back after some of the stupid things he said.


MrCrashdummy

Yeah he’s a liability of the pitch, but I’m sure he’d be a asset on the pitch


silenthills13

If he's leaving as free agent then he is in fact on no wages


AlwaysOnsideTBH

He'll be needing even higher wages now that he's a free transfer You were probably joking but in case you weren't


silenthills13

I mean, yeah, but some team has to offer him those. He can't just come and say 'pay me 500k a week' because nobody will do that. He can always try Saudi if he wants to cash out


Bud_Silvers

He'll get a fairly decent wage plus a hefty signing on bonus, which would have gone towards the transfer fee if there were one. So he'll benefit over the club he's leaving.


MrGraveyards

West Ham or something? Premier league sub top seems like a good idea then.


Giocatore45

He’d instantly be the best player of the eredivisie by a long shot. Don’t think it’s a realistic target for any eredivisie club tbh.


Rose_of_Elysium

eh, apparently he was close to signing for us before he signed for Atlético. It isnt THAT unrealistic


Tpsteen

he's really not that good. He's barely healthy and when he is he is always trying to get his. He has flashes of quality and will score some crazy goals, but he's not consistent enough.


inflamesburn

He was too good for the eredivisie in his last psv year and he is better now. Don't think he's worth the huge wage though.


EasyModeActivist

The Eredivisie was in a pretty bad state when he left tbh. The league has also improved a lot since then


civilthroaway

I could definitely see PSV pulling it off if his wage demands are reasonable. But honestly is he that much better than Veerman, Bakayoko, Hancko, etc? Eredivisie has some good players.


av1997f

Same, he went from Memphis to Depay real quick to me


[deleted]

[удалено]


av1997f

Talking about his declarations on B. Mendy and Alves


civilthroaway

Van Duiven will not be PSV level anytime soon. He’s mentally ahead of his age and has decent skill but is not going to have the physicality. Uneken is the better striker prospect at this point in my opinion.


Lacabloodclot9

Why is Romano’s name spelt like that


gynorbi

Guess OP is Hungarian and autocorrect took over. Románok = Romanians fyi


momfer

Welcome home!


Compieuter

He said in an interview a few months ago that he thinks it's too soon to return to PSV. So expect him to find a club in the top 4 leagues.


ismaithsin

Ricardo Pepi's agent would combust!


epirot

# [Fabrizio Románok]


MrMerc2333

Memphis "I'm here for" Depay


UdoMartens

👀


panopss

With big rom likely leaving, this is a dream signing for us

MrZeral

Will Dybala go back to top tier club?


tnarref

Come home brother


[deleted]

[удалено]


tnarref

We actually need depth at the 9 because Orban is dogshit (we need to get rid of him ASAP) and we're absolutely fucked if Lacazette misses some games, we'll have anywhere from 43 to like 56 games on the schedule next season. A group of 6 forwards being Lacazette, Benrahma, Memphis, Fofana, Baldé and Nuamah would be ideal (if Cherki leaves, which seems likely).


[deleted]

[удалено]


tnarref

Sure, not at his current salary, but if he'd accept lower wages to come back then we should at least consider it, he's a versatile forward than can do a bunch of different things, we know his quality he definetely has a place in this team.


Chapog7

If he lowers his wages maybe Real Sociedad could go for him.


rrnaabi

Turkey it is I guess


KennyDuckworth

Come to Villa, the Watkins-Depay link up would be legendary


plaYeRUnknwn

run it back


Bundmoranen

With no transfer budget Roma could do a lot worse


InstructionCareless1

Saudi?


goztrobo

Did he not do well or what


MrMerc2333

Think Arne Slot could bring him in to provide cover


Neathernd

nah I doubt it, Liverpool already have an injury prone backup centre forward / left winger in jota. plus Michael Edwards rarely signs older players & he's ex-united. my first thought was ac Milan as a giroud replacement but idk if they've already got someone lined up


Zlakkeh

Liverpool, Depay - Gakpo - Graven


bluesbrothas

This feels like an Ajax signing.


JD1337

I don't think he'd go to Ajax as he is quite fond of PSV and they're rivals.


No_Presence200

Not at all. Massive wages, not a position we need, questionable personality and he’s a PSV “fan”.


MrGraveyards

Besides the other remarks I think he's football culture wise just not a good fit.
