Guest Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 I'm surprised no one has mentioned sales numbers. If United sell him for anything less than 50 million, then its a loss. They took a huge punt on him when they got him from Monaco, he's payed off but now if he's to leave they need to make a profit. Don't doubt it though given how inflated the market is these days.

6666 Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 Real Madrid would be a good move for him and them. They're weirdly light on the striker front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 Unfair to judge Martial when he's far from the finished product. But for me, I see him as another Depay. Good talent, potentially very decent if he develops well, but currently not there yet and will need a different environment to thrive. It's not helped Martial having all those Henry comparisons that followed him from Monaco either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
True Blue Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 I'd take him, but then again the style of football wouldn't change, he would just swap shirt colors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder if after Mbappe got the same, every young black French forward who likes cutting in from the left is going to be the next Henry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Batard Posted April 12, 2018 Administrator Share Posted April 12, 2018 Inter are in for him, but it depends on the sale of Joao Mario and half a dozen other players. I personally think he’s better than that, he needs a move where he’ll be a central striker. Could see Dortmund or even Atletico Madrid being interested Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Gonzo Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 I imagine the Alexis Sanchez transfer + him not being selected for the World Cup are big motivating factors for wanting to move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeadLinesman Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 The French Nani. World class in every 20 games he plays, fails to show up or make a tackle in the other 19. Had enough chances to shine and has never taken the opportunity. Will no doubt become world class somewhere else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeadLinesman Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 My god it gets even worse on the bbc HYS and other discussion boards. Non United fans fauning over his every kick of a ball. Martial HAS had various opportunities and done fuck all. He’s done nothing when started, but scored the odd goal coming off the bench when defenders are knackered. Fuck I hate football.

Sounds like Henry at Juve, although we have no idea how Martial will pan out - I'm just saying what you described + becoming world class later after another move sounds a lot like what happened to the player Martial was most compared with when he joined United.

I genuinely compare him to Nani. There’s a world class player in there somewhere, but I just think he’s lazy. He’d shine at Barsa, Real, PSG or Bayern.

Some great performances in him at times... but also look how he's done after leaving England. Back to Portugal for him, then to Turkey, then Spain, and Italy... and being the same. Good every once in a while, but goes missing quite a bit. If Martial pans out like that, I think a lot of that earlier hype in his career will have proved to be wrong.

I think he had ‘world class’ potential. When he was on it, he was almost unplayable, very similar to Ronaldo in fact. Difference was Ronaldo found consistency and had that drive to succeed. Something Nani never had a I think Martial is the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Martial was having a pretty decent season, not flawless obviously, but then Alexis Sanchez was brought in... looked way more ineffective.

Cicero Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 This is vintage Mourinho, and you can bet Martial will flourish elsewhere. Young player with loads of potential, being given chance after chance in a system that doesn't really get the best out of his gifted ability, to which Mourinho prefers a more experienced short term player. All to similar. I'd only want Martial if Sarri was our manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
