Straight swap for Martial?
(I'd LOVE to see how Martial would do at Burnley)

I made the thread after one goal I’ll have you know. the hattrick just helped with my point.I had a feeling there would be a thread like this after his performance today. He fits Burnley perfectly. A good, old fashioned centre forward. He would be great for us too if we played like Burnley. But we don't, nor should we.
How much wood would a Chris Wood cut if a Chris wood could cut wood?
Not to mention Bamford, Abraham and othersStandards have dropped. There are threads discussing whether Cavani is good enough, there were threads doubting Ibrahimovic and criticising his finishing, Martial is slated, Lukaku is hated.
The same forum: let’s sign Chris Wood.

It’s almost like a forum is a collection of varied opinions rather than a single consciousness. Weird.Standards have dropped. There are threads discussing whether Cavani is good enough, there were threads doubting Ibrahimovic and criticising his finishing, Martial is slated, Lukaku is hated.

This forum: Why can't we ever sign hidden talents on the cheap!!?!?!Standards have dropped. There are threads discussing whether Cavani is good enough, there were threads doubting Ibrahimovic and criticising his finishing, Martial is slated, Lukaku is hated.

Good to point out there is no Utd player on that list.Tweet

Martial doesn't seem to like competition.Good to point out there is no Utd player on that list.
We might need to have Wood to get Martial firing.
Or something like that.
I wonder if United getting Wood would upset Martial like Vidic getting wood upset Ronaldo.Martial doesn't seem to like competition.
It was that moment, Ronaldo re-evaluated his life and decided to become the GOATI wonder if United getting Wood would upset Martial like Vidic getting wood upset Ronaldo.
Haha I know, and it’s a good point, but my post looks better how I put it, so that’s how it stays.It’s almost like a forum is a collection of varied opinions rather than a single consciousness. Weird.
Do you think Chris Wood falls into the “hidden talent” category? Do you think he would be cheap? Do you think we couldn’t sign him if we really wanted to?This forum: Why can't we ever sign hidden talents on the cheap!!?!?!
Also this forum: Our standards have dropped if we are not looking to superstar signings.
We’ve been crying out for a “big man up top alternative option” for ages. Pains me to see how few strikers we have in our squad compared to Fergie’s stockpiling back in the day. Probably shouldn’t spend a ton of money on this dude but would improve us a hell of a lot if he magically appeared in our squad tomorrow.He's a good player... Probably your best "Big man up top" alternative option in the league.
However he's worth at least £25-£30m to Burnley through his goals... And you don't pay that for a back up.
Have we though?We’ve been crying out for a “big man up top alternative option” for ages. Pains me to see how few strikers we have in our squad compared to Fergie’s stockpiling back in the day.

But goals by hipster faves count double just like away legs in the CL.A couple more and he’s scored more than Rashford and Martial combined in the league this season.
Only on the caf is picking Marcus Rashford over Chris Wood the 'hipster' option.But goals by hipster faves count double just like away legs in the CL.
He is also pushing 30, is the focal point of their entire system and is largely devoid of pace. If I was at a relegation club looking to smash and grab I would definitely look at him but he would be worse than useless in our squad.A couple more and he’s scored more than Rashford and Martial combined in the league this season.
We’d probably have half a dozen more points this season if we had a player like Zlatan, Lukaku or Fellaini on the bench. Not saying we need someone like that to be starting every game but they’re a great option to have when you’re chasing the game. It’s bugging me so much I’ve even been casting envious glances in Giroud’s direction. And he’s shite!Have we though?
We just had a fiesta of Zlatan, Lukaku and to some extent Fellaini. We're not going to look back at these years as our finest.
Both seasons generally referred to as our two best (PL era) we had an average height below 1.80 among our forwards.
