Tottenham Hotspur is keen on improving their forward group to add some goal scoring to help Harry Kane in this department, and with the transfer window nearing, there are plenty of candidates that are linked to Spurs to fill this role.
One of them is FC Barcelona’s Memphis Depay, who has seen his role reduced since the arrival of Xavi as manager. Despite the decrease in playing time, the 28-year-old has insisted on remaining with the Spanish club, where he’s under contract until 2023.
Nonetheless, Sport reports that the Spanish club could be looking to secure a sum for the Netherlands international. The media outlet adds that although Depay would like to remain at the Camp Nou, he is open to a move that makes sense on a financial and sporting side.
Depay wants to arrive in Qatar with the Netherlands national team in top shape, and at Barcelona, there’s plenty of competition which will result in erotic playing time, so if the forward has the World Cup in mind, he could leave.
According to Transfermarkt, Depay’s transfer value sits at £41-million. He has appeared in 35 fixtures, scoring 12 goals and recording two assists in his first season with the La Liga side.
No thanks, he may think he’s gods gift but he is not.
I think he’s a pain in the ass is he not? Don’t need another one of those do we.
Not a bad player, not a good one either over the long haul. Let’s hope the next rumor is not Wilf Zahara since he manages to score 13 goals with some penalties in there. And you know the thick irony, this may be his best offensive year and all those other years when he was struggling to play 2 games on the trot he was coming.
‘ at Barcelona, there’s plenty of competition which will result in erotic playing time’
Is this saying that non-playing squad members at Barca are told to ‘go forth and copulate’ with their wives, partners or other flings?’
