Yeah, that's not enough. The market has completely changed. He's worth a lot more. Only 22. Look at Dembele and Coutinho. What has Dembele done at Barca (after returning to fitness)?
He hasn't progressed like we hoped he would, but it would still be a shame if he left, I really hoped he could make it big here.This matches up with what I said above. I feel all these are looking to increase their wages significantly after we smashed our wage ceiling with signing of Sanchez. I am sure the club knows this and they must have accounted for higher wage demands from our other players while signing Sanchez. Hopefully we will meet a middle ground with Martial eventually, followed up with news of him signing contract extension with us.
Martial hasn’t even been given a chance. He was our best attacker before Sanchez arrived and then was dropped.
That also says he'd cost around 60m. That's a bit of a joke.
Yes, he will though.
This logic is silly.
It says he rejected the United's contract offer. Don't think he'll start anymore if that's the case this season.
I never said he had been given a chance, if you read my posts you can see I rate him as highly as anyone in our squad. But he has some major flaws that’s require a complete change in style to fix. He can’t be arsed making clever runs and sulks when things aren’t going his way.
What top teams would start him?
I wouldn't rule him out for us. We already wanted him before you got him and we don't have many other positions of need. We have the money and I think we'd be willing to spend it. James and Sanches weren't exactly cheap, either. I think we'll at least try our luck.
He would start at Juventus over Douglas Costa and wouldn't shy away from huge prices when needed (Dybala won't stay for too long, they paid 90m for higuain, so it's a transfer prepping for a big player leaving basically). Atletico Madrid have their own set counter attacking system and Martial would slide in pretty well, especially in Spain, since he'd replace Griezmann with him going to Barca (so again, they'd have the money for a big purchase). Bayern aren't really that blessed on the wings anymore with Ribery and Robben aging so could be an option, but I doubt they would put up the money needed and cut out Ribery and Robben right away. But it could happen, with them then having Coman and Martial as their 2 main wingers. They also have money when they need to use it and if they see Martial as the perfect replacement then they wouldn't shy out of the deal.
He wont be in the PL
If Bayern want to spend £80m+ on Martial then fair enough. But I'm skeptical about Bayern spending that type of money.
That's kind of stupid given we've chosen to replace him with Sanchez.
They do not have that kind of money.
Yeah, Bayern are always long term planners and do put up the money when they feel like it's the right profile of player. Martial to replace Ribery and Coman to be the long term right winger is something I could see them doing, especially as it basically is right in line with how they currently play so it would be a seemless transition, keeping the pace and ability on both wings.
