Yeah it's a nightmare season for him no doubt. Shame that it came at a point when he does super good under the manager.
First quality of any player is availability. It doesnt matter how good you are if you're constantly injured. Weghorst already has more minutes than Martial and he's been here less than a month.

Like I said in a previous post the worriying thing about this is that he's not missing games due to major injuries, just constant small different injuries. It seems his body can't take it anymore, sadly because his style would do wonders for us under ten Hag.
It could be just bad luck though. We, as fans, have a lot of baggage with Martial so we look at this in a different light. But it could just be one of those years where everything that can go wrong, does. He has never been this unlucky with issues so it's not yet a pattern. Still has 6 goals I think
Imagine if he were a bit more fit next season. This is a 20+ goals player easy.Great comparison
Bollocks, he’s been here 8 years and missed 82 games (including the cup final on Sunday) from just over 400 possible games.
He is injured because he is lazy or what? You are a good poster I think but now you post total rubbish.
Mate there’s excuses made for him all the time, it’s clear to see at this point he’s injury prone. We all wanted it to work out but it’s not going to. His injuries consist of thigh strains and various pulled muscles, which are injuries you see in players who can’t cope with the physicality of high tempo football. There’s no shame in that, it’s just how it is.
Nah, he's just broken down since his sending off against Spurs 2.5 years ago during the 20/21 season. Had knee and thigh injuries the next 2 years, then was loaned out and got unneccessary flack and was a scapegoat in Spain, then got hurt again beginning of this season after a terrific pre-season where his quality was obvious. He's a great all-round CF when fit and playing, but it's been hard for him and the club.
He got hammered in Spain because he didn’t score a league goal for Sevilla and spent most of his time there injured. I didn’t even include that in his injury record.
That's fine and you might be correct but what the feck was with the lazy bs? Guess you are frustrated with him, so am I but let's not make garbage calls of personality for physicals issues. He was one of our best players in the ETH team in the little time he had.
Sevilla also didn't improve or play well without him or with him and in reality, they weren't legit contenders and it showed.
The lazy statement was in regard to excuses being made for him, not by you, but by a few people in here suggesting his injuries are unlucky or they don’t happen often. I meant that if he’s not injury prone then he must be lazy because he’s been out a lot.
He was doing individual training with van der Gaag earlier this week. He will be back soon.
Yeah I feel you. Regardless of anything, stays or goes it would be very good for the team to at least have him for the end of the season.
Does Martial have a brother?
Agreed, if you think it is frustrating for us as fans imagine how frustrating it is for him as a player.
It’s the way of the Caf. Some idiot was in here claiming it’s his fault because Giggs changed his training methods years back so Martial must be doing something wrong on purpose.
This idiot would likely ask you to re-read that posting and see if you can better understand what I was trying to get across - maybe poorly phrased but didnt mean to imply what you took from it!
i hadn’t actually seen your post. You are not the ‘idiot’ in question.
An exceptional talent? Making a come back?
In terms of natural talent he's exceptional but we never saw much of it.
Good point but unfortunately many see pro footballers being so wealthy that any mental aspect of things they can go through is easily brushed aside.
You have summed him up perfectly
Can't see us being able to get money for him
Sometimes you just have to move on. Yes we might get peanuts but long term it is better
