Memphis Depay Burgled Whilst Playing for Lyon


football forums

Recommended Posts

Lyon have offered striker Memphis Depay their full support after his home was burgled while he played for the club on Friday night.

Reports say thieves took up to 1.5m euros (£1.34m) in jewels, watches and other luxury items while the former Manchester United forward was playing in Lyon's 1-0 defeat at home to Nice.

"He's obviously disheartened, because he had a lot of belongings in that house," Lyon president Jean-Michel Aulas said on Saturday at a Lyon news conference.

"We will help him, as we do all the players, whether it's on a human level or financial."

BFM TV reported on Saturday the thieves entered his home by climbing up the garage to reach the terrace and then entering the bedroom through an open window. BFM added there were no alarms.

"You have to fit alarms and be careful who you associate with. But the police are on the case, and worked all night," Aulas said.

"They have taken fingerprints, which appear to be [a] positive match. ... There are cameras so we will have [more] news soon."

Depay, who has scored 25 goals in 56 league games since joining from Manchester United, has international duty with the Netherlands next week.

Peacocking out of low self worth like people who wear designer underwear? :ph34r:

Hahaha.... I het the designer underwear bit where men are concerned. I myself have tried to use cheaper underwear and the difference is massive in all aspects.

But yeah, in general most of these things are a mental confidence issue although there are things and there are things. The jewellery detail when looked at from an overall panning observation is absolutely ridiculous.

£1.34m In jewellery?

Maybe he’d make a better jeweller.  Never understood the fascination with jewellery. 

That's cos you have no money left after smashing it all on designer clothes xD

Never heard of them so I googled and now I can't think of anything less designer than wearing a pair of underwear that tells everyone you chafe xD

That is funny, but in truth I've never understood jewellery since I was a teenager.  I just can't get my head around glittery ornaments put on the body... Just seems quite primitive to me and then add the expense issue to how I feel and I end up being rather discriminating to those that do this.

People like what they like. I'd probably have antique motorcycles and cars.

Motorcycles and vehicles in general have a use (function) mate. Although I get where you're going with that.

I used to wear tight underwear but I find baggy freedom more liberating now.

Yeah but at the same time a person only needs one vehicle.

Well that depends... It depends if you need one for work and one for the family as an example. Or if you have one for leisure and one for the family...  I could go on bringing up examples but I know you know where I'm going with this.  Jewellery has no function whatsoever other than to be a human Christmas Tree.

For utilitarian purposes only one is needed, then it just becomes a toy.

If you flash that sort of wealth around an entourage, it’s not surprising if you’re burgled! Aulas understands “be careful who you associate with”. 

"Dime con quién andas y te diré quién eres" (Tell me who you associate with and I'll tell you who you are) ;)

Indeed and that's why I initially said I knew where you were going with that. There are a multitude of ways to be frivolous and superficial and people can collect what they like with their money because it's a personal choice.  It's also a personal view of mine that I find the accumulating of jewellery odd.  xD

It can also be an investment. You don't have to have it just to wear.

I did think of that and know someone that buys gold, but they buy gold bullion not ready made jewellery. 

Edit: and they keep that gold bullion in the bank.
