My Lord it really doesn't have to be a Martial v Sanchez thing you know? I mean, Lingard was quite easily our worst performer yesterday. Sanchez was playing against his old club and has just come off a couple of MOTM performances in huge games.
Considering your name and you're only post bashing Lukaku doesn't surprise me.
And thats the sole reason why martial is going to leave. He does seem to like or maybe even love the club itself, our Tony.
Hey. Those Twilight movies were amongst the most popular movies in the last 20 years.
He also lost possession every time he had the ball and ran into blind ally's constantly.
What if he went on loan to another major club?
You surely have 3 options no?
The fact that he's not being linked with RM, Barca, Bayern or City suggests he'll have to go to a second-tier club if he wants to leave.
Yeah, there's loads of very talented young footballers on the fringes at big clubs. Marco Asensio at Madrid would be another. He's the exact same age as Martial, seems to be a better player and got a similar number of minutes over the course of the season.
He would be in first 11 in juve( mandzukic). Arsenal(iwobi or welbeck). Milan(whoever). Arsenal and milan are not our level but in his age, better starter there than second sub here.
Arsenal and milan are midtable team.
LOLOL - Egg on my face.
It's the nature of the beast at a big club right? You have to force your way in.
Not with that attitude. He runs at the first sight of competition. Sanchez is only here for 2 months and the young lad already wanted to leave.
We’re not talking about Ravel Morrison. We’re talking about a lad that was the best outfield player in his first season. He stunned us all, and you seem ready to cut bait.
What bullshit. He coped fine at the start of the season with Rashford. He put his head down and deservedly became first choice as his performances were better than the competition. If he 'ran at the first sight of competition' he wouldn't have even got into the team earlier in the season as he wouldn't have been bothering.
Well it is him who rejected the contract. Meaning he doesnt want to be here anymore.
BS as pointed out earlier. He didn't get enough game time last season. At the start of this season he was coming on in the last 15 minutes and fighting for his place with Rashford. He won his place and then was dropped? He's still putting in decent -> Good performances even though he comes on in the last few minutes and is relying on tired team mates.
What is so difficult to understand in that? He wants to play and he thinks he deserves to start more often (which a lot of fans also agree to). He has been unfairly treated and now wants out which many of us were fearing any normal person would do.
We aren’t privy to that. As much as this is all speculation, being bad afraid of competition seems to be the least substantiated by the rumor mill.
A crack at it would be a start. If Lukaku and Sanchez are untouchable there's not much point in him hanging around. He immediately lost his position to Sanchez despite being our most in form player. Then Sanchez kept the spot for 10 games despite being crap in most of them. You couldn't blame him for wondering if the deck is stacked against him.
I'd be surprised of Jose allowed this. He didn't let Hazard play the number 10 and would rather have Mata on the right than in the center.
Would sit on the bench for all those clubs. Then show his grumpy face whenever he comes on and the Martial FC supporters will say how he needs to get more time on the pitch to pick up form. This lad can't even start for his national team and will barely make it to the world cup, what's the explanation for his poor numbers there? Martial had a good first half of the season but for the past 4 months, he hasn't done anything when he has started or come on as a sub. If he can't even fight for his position and make Jose switch Sanchez to the right or in a central position, he is being poor in the training as well on the pitch. In reality he is not able to displace Mata and Lingard and not just Sanchez who is apparently manager's favorite. Well Sanchez has put in two MOTM performances in the past month vs Spurs and City, such mature performances which Martial could have never done or the workrate Sanchez gave. The lack of balls is a massive reason why I can't care what goes on with him. It's hardly to do with his talent but his determination and his attitude has been poor since Jan and it shows with how poor he has been on the pitch as well.
Lukaku is untouchable not because of favoritism, but because of how the team set up. We need a strong big CF to play in our system. Having martial playing up top means the whole team approach has to change as he has other area of strenght and also weaknesses. It's only logic.
