New Barcelona signing Memphis Depay has warned he and the teammates he will likely share a front line with at Camp Nou are ‘different’.
Memphis joined Barca on a free transfer this summer, making the move to Catalonia after four years with Olympique Lyon.
And while the official registration is yet to go through due to financial issues at Barcelona, but fans are already dreaming of a front line made up of Lionel Messi, Memphis and another new signing in Sergio Aguero.
But while he does believe he is compatible with the other two, Memphis has warned he is a very different player from his new teammates.
“We are all attackers, but all different in my opinion,” he said at his unveiling, as cited by Sport.
“I have abilities and strong points different to Aguero, for example, or any player.
“I believe that the three of us are compatible and different, but we are going to see how everything goes.”
Whether Ronald Koeman goes with Memphis, Aguero and Messi as a front line remains to be seen, but there has been some suggestions that Aguero will play more of a supplementary role.
Though, that likely depends on when Koeman will be able to welcome Ansu Fati back from his long-term injury.
He(memphis) is such a great player. He has proved to us that he’s a great player by scoring a penalty kick against girona.
If Messi sign with Barca.. i think Aguero will be one of Messi’s best assist.. just look what both of them done when they together during youth time until now in NT.. Aguero feed Messi lots of goals.. be scare…
What have u ever won you are different from them dude what do u have to show
yeah who he think he is.he is different
Most overrated player. He is different because Messi and Aguero have won things and he hasn’t. He is crap.
He can be different but whatever he has Messi has it already and 10 times more
Is he trying to push Messi away
We have faith in you Memphis. hoping you don’t flop like Dembélé and Coutinho.
Diff because he ain’t Argentine.
