Am I the person on here who didn't even want Depay?

We already have Ibe, Markovic, Lallana, Ojo, Wilson, Kent, Origi and Sterling (assuming he stays) who can play out wide. Depay is just a talented kid playing in a weak league. Didn't Altidore score 31 there? Says it all really.

I think he'll be a good signing for United long term but it'll be at least ayear before he looks anything like a £25m player.

We need strikers though and I'd prefer Ings, Vietto or Son by far right now. Depay would've been a waste of money for us as we don't need another potentially good winger. We need goalscorers.

Try to remember that even Assaidi and Babel scored a lot of goals from the wing in Holland. If Depay gets more than 10 league goals next season I'll be suprised. Sick of all this depressing moaning about missed targets though. We got all this when we missed out on Lamela and Willian and they've done nothing to warrant their price tags either. Just chill out. There's still 3 games left of this season yet so forgive me for not starting to worry about next season just yet because United have over payed for a kid we scouted a few times!

I wouldn't belittle Depay so much. He is clearly well thought of, enough to dish out £25 million for him. There is no doubt that he is a much much better player now when compared to what Babel, Kuyt, Altidore or Assaidi were. And with the right coaching and management, he will reach a very high level.

You're not the only one mate, I've been saying the same thing. Why do we need more wide players?

One striker is all that's needed. Don't forget we still have the same players (except Suarez) that finished second last season. If we can buy a goalscorer that fits our style of play we could easily achieve another high finish. We are currently 5th with no out and out goalscorer so we aren't that far off.

Other than that we need to do what we should have done last summer and strengthen our defence. That includes a holding midfielder, a right back and a goalkeeper at least.

well for me not getting Depay weather needed or not shows that our manager and possibly our club do not have the pulling power to beat man united to the best players I am sorry to say and that is a worry we need FSG to show they can entice the best players but need to entice a top manager who has the charisma so these top players want to come other wise we will be always be buying potential . We then have to wait around to see if they fulfil there potential or move them on at a loss and we all wonder why we can't win the premier league .

But truth be told if we did sign Depay then every LFC fan will be foaming at the mouth. He is far more talented than Markovic and I would rather spend £25m on him than Lallana.

Sterling is going to leave and Rodgers is going to sign who exactly?

{Ed002's Note - As far as I can tell, every Liverpool fan foams at the mouth most of the time. Some people say it is ectoplasm, I am not so sure.}

i agree with the real ag.

Depay is more than just talented,in the ribery robben mode.
We really missed out we could have played depay from the left.sterling can play on top and both wings.
if we cound have bought depay we only needed to bring in a top center forward.
This is really going to hurt us depay is a worldclass talent.

Depay is a very good player, no doubt about it. But he is not what we need because he was an option like Son if Sterling left. We need goals in our team and we have Lallana, Marko, Sterling and Ibe who can play wide in addition to the fact that all these players have more PL experience than he does which cannot be discounted.

i also agree with the real ag,

its ok saying we didn't need another wide player but if sterling goes we will have potential and maybe at 1st they will play good but the season is long and hard and i don't think they will last the distance , we needed depay just to add something special , you might say he is a wide player but he has other attributes going for him he has an eye for goal , i wish our wide players scored as many as he did , also he is good at set pieces , so yea we have lost out , i can't believe some saying they would have danny ings instead of depay , depay is on a higher level and it could just be a case of looking good in a bad team for ings , he maybe another andy carrol , or he maybe the next rush , the fact is we can't get quality players anymore so we have to depend on potential , and if danny ings was really that good why are chelsea , barcelona and real madrid not going in for him , it does not really matter about depay in a way its more about not being able to attract these type of players , and it will be a long time before we do , i do think depay will make good is move and in a season or 3 he will make a big money move to the big spanish teams for a huge profit , like ronaldo who wanted to come to us , also danny alves , well that's in the past so is our club
