A loan might be good, PSV said they'd like to take him on loan didn't they?
They did. Manu pay 27,5 million Euro (excl. 4,5 million bonus). Nice fee for PSV, but looking at the fees paid for at first glance lesser players like Shaw and Lallana it's a bit of a steel, if he played for Aston Villa or Sunderland you'd been looking at least 35 million pounds. Which is one of the strange things in football; somehow English clubs seem to pay eachother more than those from abroad.

I thought he was a winger but BBC are reporting him as a forward?
He is a winger, I think the amount of goals he scored from that position has confused some of the mediaObligatory YT vid

Which is staggering considering it's their fking job to report on this stuff!Does my head in.
The most promising thing about Memphis to me is the relationship with our manager. LvG will know him as a player, a person and if he will fit in our team so I'm confident he will. Maybe it'll take time but I'm excited in frankly many disgusting ways.

He looks great but then so did Di Maria! And Falcao.
ADM will come good, I am certainFalcao was always a risk due to his injury
As (the gorgeous) CIE says, LvG knows Memphis, this will be a good signing for us, I reckon he'll be a bit part player next season and then progress as a starter
Oh and you know the last 3 games where teams parked the bus and we couldn't break them down? He would solve that instantly, loves taking people on.

LvG gave him his international debut and is often credited with sorting out Memphis' mentality.
I've every confidence this is a good fit. If he struggles next year, I still will be.
Given that he is LvG's "boy", I have no doubt that he will get a fair crack at it. It is just a bit strange given that LvG has shown no interest in our other (very similar) players.I've every confidence this is a good fit. If he struggles next year, I still will be.
