Martial will surely be our new #7 now that Zlatan takes the #9?
Memphis can feck off and get 77 or something.

AM14 does seem quite fitting although I'm not sure it's a good idea with the connotations it carries.#14 and #19 are open so I don't think anyone else would need to change. I'm sure he wouldn't mind wearing the #14 like Henry.
Not that i'm completely convinced by that picture mind.
If it were up to me I wouldn't take anyones number from them for a player who will be gone in 2 years, at the most.AM14 does seem quite fitting although I'm not sure it's a good idea with the connotations it carries.
Unless Memphis is leaving the club, I'm not sure it's a good idea to take the 7 off him. At the end of the day we've invested 20 odd million in him and having a difficult first season doesn't really warrant stripping him of a number he was obviously very proud to be given.
I actually like Martial with the 7 and think he should keep it. AM9 is already becoming a brand image for him and can increase further in value if he does even better next season. Zlatan should take another number.Martial will surely be our new #7 now that Zlatan takes the #9?

I'm sure Fellaini didn't give a shit about the #31 shirt, but Memphis uses his #7 as part of his image: M7. When he's posting up his desparate work out videos on Instagram to try and prove that he's infact not lazy, he finishes them with the M7 logo.Memphis doesn't deserve the 7 and never did
Bastian took away 31 from Fellaini last season so this things happen.
We can always dress it up as him wanting to move to another number like Valencia did.I'm sure Fellaini didn't give a shit about the #31 shirt, but Memphis uses his #7 as part of his image: M7. When he's posting up his desparate work out videos on Instagram to try and prove that he's infact not lazy, he finishes them with the M7 logo.
Besides all that, it'd effectively feel like a demotion for a player like Memphis going from #7 to #15 or something. #7 is a meaningful number here, and considering how he clearly wants to be like Ronaldo it's even more so for him.
Why?We should go back to the days when the starting eleven wore numbers 1-11, none of this squad number nonsense.
I remember reading in his book talking about numbers. In one chapter he didn't give a feck it was just a number.If it were up to me I wouldn't take anyones number from them for a player who will be gone in 2 years, at the most.
When Zlatan arrived at PSG he took #18. And that was with the #7, 9, 10 and 11 belonging to the likes of Menez, Hoarau, Nene and Lavezzi. I don't think it's impossible that he'd accept #19 himself. Maybe our marketing department has other plans though, I don't know.
Because they were simpler times, men were men, women were women, the milkman delivered on time and there was none of this global warming. Ah yes.Why?
Maybe we want to give him the #11 shirt. Januzaj is doing feck all with it anyway.Ibra should not get the number 9. How can we jus strip it from martial? Unless martial is okay with taking number 7 from depay then I'm game.
Are least he didn't get injured I suppose.As I said early on in the tournament, it's a giant waste of time for him. Actual rest could've been much better for him.
True, but he still has to train and travel and can't really take a break while not exactly receiving a confidence boost.Are least he didn't get injured I suppose.
More likely Martial will be called upon again with 20 minutes to go in a game soon and he's more than capable of stepping up when asked.snk123 said:IMO, it's poor management from the coach and that's it for Martial in this tournament.
Seeing some more Martial madness was pretty much the only thing I was looking forward to this tournament, Deschamps just had to ruin it the water-carrying prick.
What @Kostur said.Our player who has been overused this season is getting a rest at the first senior-football tournament, his team is doing fine, there's no risk of him getting injured, why are you guys losing your shit is beyond me.
I can only fecking imagine how much you'd be crying if he actually played for France and got injured for couple of months. Then DD would be a dick for playing him.
They have a stacked squad, so it's obviously hard to break in there especially as he doesn't quite fit in. He's playing in a squad which was one of the favourites from the start of the tournaments, not some losers who couldn't make the top 4 in league. Different level of competition.Wasn't he quite good in any friendlies or qualifying matches before the tournament? Strange how one bad half has seemingly ruined every chance at this Euro.
I suppose that's one way of looking at it. Generally though, if I don't have a team I follow at a tournament (or they're knocked out), I generally mainly watch to see the united lads doing well.Our player who has been overused this season is getting a rest at the first senior-football tournament, his team is doing fine, there's no risk of him getting injured, why are you guys losing your shit is beyond me.

For me, two ways would be fine: you either don't nominate him at all and let him get actual rest or you give him playing time. Now he isn't truly rested while also not receiving a confidence boost.Our player who has been overused this season is getting a rest at the first senior-football tournament, his team is doing fine, there's no risk of him getting injured, why are you guys losing your shit is beyond me.

Correct. Deschamps is and always was a dick.Our player who has been overused this season is getting a rest at the first senior-football tournament, his team is doing fine, there's no risk of him getting injured, why are you guys losing your shit is beyond me.

Not really though, you do gain experience from the sole fact of being at the tourno, sub, mostly bench or not really.For me, two ways would be fine: you either don't nominate him at all and let him get actual rest or you give him playing time. Now he isn't truly rested while also not receiving a confidence boost.
Yea I do get this point of view but really, given how much he's been used by us I'm glad he's actually not playing.I suppose that's one way of looking at it. Generally though, if I don't have a team I follow at a tournament (or they're knocked out), I generally mainly watch to see the united lads doing well.
