Would you consider Memphis a scouting failure? (self.reddevils)

  1. Ineffective dribbling/shooting/playmaking vs PL and CL defenses.
  2. Major defensive liability compared to many other young players like Martial. Has cost us points with defensive errors.
  3. Easily dispossessed and poor decision making for most of the season too even though this is getting better.
  4. We gave him a higher transfer valuation than the likes of Douglas Costa / Kinsgley Coman or Mahrez and equal to Dybala who've performed much better vs higher quality opponents.
  5. It could be argued that we overpaid since we've had to fix weaknesses in so many areas of his game. At the rate he is improving, he requires atleast one more year of work to start doing the no. 7 shirt some sort of justice.

No a scouting failure. Just taking some time to adjust to a new league. Not completely unheard of given he's from the Dutch league.

It is a scouting failure in comparative terms if we look at what other top teams who integrated youth got out of them. Memphis was nowhere near as ready as Coman or Dybala who've had stellar seasons.

We don't know if Coman or Dybala would've struggled in PL.

And they play for better sides, both in terms of talent (especially Bayern) and identity. We're just making it up as we go along.

That's an invalid excuse because Martial has done much better than Memphis in the same system because he was much better prepared (more talented too).

Martial is the exception not the rule.

It's very uncommon for a kid his age to move to a new country, force his way into the starting 11 and perform as well and as consistently as he has.

How do you know they'd be good in this team/system?

Martial has been better both offensively and defensively than Memphis. The other players I've mentioned have shown similar characteristics in their own clubs.

I'd consider him a young player who has not yet acclimatized to the PL and to playing against tough opponents. he didn't transfer here from a top notch team, he came here from PSV. The PL is the toughest league in the world. Give him time, he will be great.

No, I think he'll become a good buy eventually. The potential is there.
