Why are we going to waste money on loan transfer and wages for woeful strikers when we can just stick mctominay up front who may actually surprise us and it will get him away from playing in midfield
A less injury prone Martial
I am, yeah. I didn't realise that I put "they" in there, but I tend to use "they" and "us" interchangably in general with both my local club and United.

Benjamin Sesko is available on a loan to buy deal, we won’t do it because it makes far too much sense!
Why on earth are we even considering triggering Martials
Maybe they're discussing triggering the extension but on substantially reduced terms (still not a good idea I would suggest) or maybe they're talking to him about terminating his contract early (better idea).Why on earth are we even considering triggering Martials
"Talking with Martial" hopefully means telling him his contract won't be extended and he should find a new club
Sigh. He's been jogging around doing nothing for over 2 years. Imagine the quality of the performances we get once it's 100% confirmed that we are not renewing and he sees that noone will offer him more than 60k/week
The only talk they should be having with Martial is asking him if he needs any help moving

Wasn't he the waste of space on the FDJ saga? Kept on having special broadcasts with his alledged ITK brand of BS
I wasn't aware of any involvement from him in the FDJ saga. You might be confusing him with Gerard Romero, who's typically very reliable but also someone who teases and lures in people to his broadcasts.
I will weep if Martial’s contract gets extended by even a day.
Protect the value on the books and whatnot..
The hope is Ratcliffe vetos it and tells them to let the contract expire in the summer.
Martial saga is the aabsolute epitome of the excuses at Utd that show how awful we have been. For him to steal a living for 9 yrs based off a handful of 'performances' where he wouldve done well to survive 3 yrs at most other clubs is telling.
Martial should be finished at the club, it will be pathetic if he gets a new contract.
The one I want. Hope this is true, however unlikely.
Didn't the big hitter journalists confirm Martial wasn't getting a contract extension only before Christmas. Why are people worried about some rumours.
EDIT: Just checked, in December Ornstein reported that United would not be exercising the option to extend Martial's contract.

More like Brighton!
An alternative option would be to look for a striker who can actually score goals.
It would be a truly baffling decision. Maybe we are developing a new style of football in which goal scoring is looked down upon.He couldn't hit a barn door while he was here with Chelsea and hasn't since been impressive for Leipzig in, arguably, the most open league in Europe for attackers.
But he's going to fix some of our offensive issues?
What is it with this club.
They're interpreting the "having talks" as a desire for United to keep Martial around for longer. No matter what, those who don't want Martial here want him gone at all costs. Personally, I don't Martial sticking around with a much lower salary as the rebuild won't necessarily be instantaneous with the FFP restrictions.
"Having talks" is more likely the club telling Martial he will not be getting a new contract in my opinion.
That's plausible as well. I'm most likely used to the American interpretation, which is when the teams continue to talk with a player who's just become a free agent to negotiate a new contract with them.
Martial will ask to leave, a Saudi Arabian club will increase his salary.
Ya exactly . No amount of BS tweets twisting a story will convince me otherwise.
When was the last successful Italian player in the Prem?
"Protecting value"Why on earth are we even considering triggering Martials
Vicario?
Probably Jorginho.
What an excellent prospect he looks, such a composed player, big fee, but a risk I’d love to see the club make.
When FFP is such a constraint, to get a dosser like Martial on £250k a week off the books is an absolute gimme.
Werner would be such a Utd signing
The damage having someone like Martial around training does is incalculable.
