Imagine wanting to loan him out and keep Dan James, Jesus...

Big discount on what ?He doesn't have the attitude of a united player and quite frankly he doesn't have the overall ability to make up for it either.
Best for all parties that he goes. Can't see any of the top clubs wanting him unless it's at a big discount.
I didn’t realise optimism like this still existed. How long has AM been here now and we’re still waiting for him to perform ‘like we know he can’.Martial just needs to perform like we know he can and we'll be dandy.
On the value of a top player. Anyone signing him now is basically hoping he'll come good so his value will reflect that, that and his wages.Big discount on what ?
His initial fee was years ago and now considered cheap.
I'm all for getting rid of him but think he'll be kept.
Would you pay that?30-40 million perhaps?
Mate, our coach couldn't trust Dan James to get him a goal in a final even after all the players on the pitch were knackered.Imagine understanding different roles for players with different profiles, skills and abilities...
12 months by my watch.I didn’t realise optimism like this still existed. How long has AM been here now and we’re still waiting for him to perform ‘like we know he can’.
MentalityHis 2nd half of 2019/20 was very good, why didn't he kick on that form into this season?
Could be a number of reasons. There were rumours that he has been struggling with niggling injuries for about a year now.His 2nd half of 2019/20 was very good, why didn't he kick on that form into this season?
If one wants to be at the club and the other doesn’t, then what does it matter? Martial is well known to down tools when he’s not happy. His Mrs tweeted a few weeks ago about him going to Real. I thought it was random.Imagine wanting to loan him out and keep Dan James, Jesus...
I feel like it would be redundant to write this but.... Players have roles on the pitch. Our manager decided James would not fit the game in the final. Villareal were playing with 10 men behind the ball, not sure how James' profile would've helped us in that situation.Mate, our coach couldn't trust Dan James to get him a goal in a final even after all the players on the pitch were knackered.
Unless Martial is replaced adequately by someone of equal ability, it's a bad idea.
No she didn’t, she did a long interview and one of the questions was which club would she ideally like him to ply for and she said Real Madrid. Not as sinister as you make it sound.

Exactly.And she said it was because she was a Real Madrid fan growing up.
While I agree that James is not even a prem player, he does have his utility at times and seems to be an okay lad.Imagine wanting to loan him out and keep Dan James, Jesus...
It's simple. Ole felt he needed a goal, the players we had on the bench including James couldn't be trusted to get a goal. Ole himself said the players on the pitch were knackered. If Martial was on the bench, Ole would have brought him on. You kid yourself if you think otherwise.I feel like it would be redundant to write this but.... Players have roles on the pitch.

Feel free to explain his role to me, the guy isn't Utd quality no matter which way you dress it up.Imagine understanding different roles for players with different profiles, skills and abilities...
Absolutely bang onFeel free to explain his role to me, the guy isn't Utd quality no matter which way you dress it up.
I think they are talking about Dan James, not Anthony Martial.Absolutely bang on
Probably right in both cases to be fair. One of them doesn't make £250k a week though and is happy to fight for a placeI think they are talking about Dan James, not Anthony Martial.
Oh I’m so sorry I saw it on a tweet, thankfully you can along and made out I was acting in a sinister way trying to bend the truth. Thanks for that!No she didn’t, she did a long interview and one of the questions was which club would she ideally like him to ply for and she said Real Madrid. Not as sinister as you make it sound.

Personally I wouldn’t care about the money or wages if I had to pick the quality of Martial over the quality of Dan James.Probably right in both cases to be fair. One of them doesn't make £250k a week though and is happy to fight for a place
To reach the final, we need a Dan James. We also need a Martial, but this year we did that without Martial!Mate, our coach couldn't trust Dan James to get him a goal in a final even after all the players on the pitch were knackered.

Who ? Tony ? I don't think so because Tony showed us over the years that when he have competition on his place(Zlatan, Lukaku and now Cavani) - he's not perform well.He might do a Luke next season?
This is simply not true. He’s performed well before when under threat, this is just nonsense that keeps getting repeated and people like the sound of it, so we’ve accepted it.Who ? Tony ? I don't think so because Tony showed us over the years that when he have competition on his place(Zlatan, Lukaku and now Cavani) - he's not perform well.
We’ve seen him perform like that, last year. Where were you?I didn’t realise optimism like this still existed. How long has AM been here now and we’re still waiting for him to perform ‘like we know he can’.
Clearly the same place you were the other 90% of the time.Where were you?
Many folks here are of the opinion that the very reason why he doesn't play well is because his position is challenged and he doesn't feel important. They say that whenever Martial has played well has been when he's been trusted to do a role and is a guaranteed starter..
He's had a long break, so perhaps the fact that he's been displaced by Cavani, is being challenged by Greenwood and now he's no longer as important as he once was will rejuvenate him.
