WOW words actually fail me
Martial exit?
- Thread starter Giggsyking
- Start date
Oh god, I remember that. You're one masochistic chap aren't you bringing that up haha
I am starting to think the MG announcement is going to be on the day of Wolves game
yeh thinking voldemort will return, hope the womens team quit on mass
True, but the likelihood is that we'd have ruined him under the constant rotation of managers and under performance. He was better off avoiding the shit show of the last decade here.
I also think it's probable that MG will return, sounds like EtH wants him and the club will spin a redemption arc, lots of pictures of the happy couple with the kid.
He will be our 9 for the start of the season while RH gets fit and MG gets re-integrated.
I think if they aren’t going to play MG then they need to part ex him for another forward, someone would still pay good money for him. Loans and all the other nonsense won’t do us any good. Just cut the chord.
Considering what the women's team cost and the revenue they bring in, I'm sure the people at board level wouldn't be arsed if they did.
He hasn't played a single second of preseason, how is he going to start the season?
Not a suprise, we had martinelli in for four trials and still didnt sign him.
Because we had Greenwood who we thought was better. We can't sign everyone, it's not good for anyone's development to have 3 good players at youth level that play in the same position.
He was untouchable at the time, and Monaco knew what they had. They weren't going to let him go before he played for them and showed his real value.
No way we can sell him unless we sign another striker imo. We massively lack consistent goal threat in this side and, even with Hojlund, we still don't possess a proven out and our number 9. Martial is still the closest we have to this.
I don't see Ten Hag preferring a cut rate deal from Inter to a striker he seems to rate who seems happy being a backup, even if he is always hurt and allergic to the 6 yard box.
If you told me a Saudi team offered us 20M and covering all his wages and we were selling him then sure, I could see us loaning in a random striker to save 25M or so (massive wages minus a loan fee and new striker wages) or buying a veteran backup on August 31st, but if Inter are offering say 10M and trying to pay 75% of his wages and we have to cover the rest, which seems more likely, than nah I don't see it.
Martial doesn’t provide “consistent goal threat”, all he provides is consistent medical treatment requirement.
With Phil Jones having left someone has to keep the medical staff busy.
Well I joked months ago, come the first game of the season, we will prob be starting with Glazers still in charge, and feckin Martial still up front.. 
. Im not laughing now
Looks like with Hojlund sitting out for a bit with this back issue, and i read Martial back in training...we're gonna have Tony up front again vs Wolves. Im hoping he has one of his good scoring spells just in time for Hojlund to take over..... (and hopefully attract some interest )

Yeah we are crying out for backup 9,should sell McTominay sign Amrabat but use funds from his sale to get striker
Yep that's our only hope for next few weeks that he can put himself in the shop windowWell I joked months ago, come the first game of the season, we will prob be starting with Glazers still in charge, and feckin Martial still up front..

I think he will stay and alternate with Hojlund.
Noone will pay his wages

Agree but the big question is who. It's a crappy market.
Happy to be a back up? He's shown his arse any time some competition has been signed. Maybe he's a bit more understanding now given his injuries but I wouldn't be surprised if he still considers himself first choice.
I'm desperate for us to get another striker in so that we can move this guy on. I'm tired of him and tired of hoping that the next season will be the making of him.
Well either wait until January and pick up Toney or maybe look for someone like Watkins. The other idea is go down the young route and sign Orban/Leonardo/Gimenez
I honestly think you'd see 80m+ price tags on both Toney and Watkins at least. We aren't paying that.
Weirdly, with Hojlund through the door, this is arguably one of the few windows where bringing in a stop-gap older but established striker would have made sense!
Yeah that's the third approach to consider and quite honestly I would take it as well
looks like fenerbache is showing some interest in him as well if they can't sign Unger
PLEASE take him too,Erik needs his hand forced in regards to signing a backup 9
if we could get fenerbache to pay 40m for Fred and Martial...i'd bite their hands off and run
What's going on here? What's our Martial plan?
Sell and get backup 9 hopefully
They aren't paying £28m for a crock
Can we get Ralf to recommend an Argentine striker to buy again? Martial needs a sea change, somewhere warm, so he can heal and recover his joy for playing...
There are options but we need a taker first
sorry mine was in euros....€18m for fred is what has been said so €22m for Martial. that's good business for both clubs
Who in their right mind pays that for Tony
Hey! Levy! We’ve got this super French striker you could replace Kane with…… cheap at £50m
He is not completely dumbHey! Levy! We’ve got this super French striker you could replace Kane with…… cheap at £50m
I would genuinely take just about any back up striker on the market at the moment in place of Martial, been wanting to see the back of him for a few years now. Have there been any linked to United? Who could realistically come in?
Are people still talking about this? He's unmovable with his £250k/wk wage. He'll be here until his contract runs out or the club buys him out.
I'd be surprised he starts 15 games across all comps this year.
