Not sure how much it does anymore. They're in 7th place already with Kane (and Son) in the team. How much further can they really drop?
Because nuance doesn't really exist on here. You're either world class or you're shit, no in between.
Are you ever positive about anything ever?
The reports have said he wants to stay in England, which makes sense given he can still chase down Shearer's goals record.
I can understand Spurs fans not wanting their best player replaced by Martial and Lingard, but personally I think they'd do well there. Especially Martial who I feel did show last year he can cut it in the PL as a CF. He won't get anywhere near Kane's numbers of course but I feel he'd be a solid signing for any top half PL club. He's been horrible this year without a doubt, but I still think he's a decent player.Martial and Lingardmaybe 4 years ago yeah... not now
Why would we need Martial when we are stacked in those wide attacking areas? He isn't a centre forward or at least, he isn't a very good one. Lingard
just no.I think the thing is something like:
Martial hasn't progressed the way we hoped, admittedly, but he's a classy striker on his day. He'd get in the Spurs side without Kane's presence I feel.
He isn't a quality striker in my eyes. He is ok with the odd moment where he looks good but over the last few years what has he actually delivered? Not very much really. I would be extremely disappointed if we were interested in him. We already have a player who looks top class one day and pretty shite for the next 5 games and that's Son, we don't need another one. Son is also twice the player Martial is. I'd rather have Danny Ings to be brutally honest.
I think Cavani has shown the difference between someone who's classy on their day and a proper CF. Martial needs to go back to playing as a wide forward, and he's not pushing out Son or a fully fit Rashford. Replacing Kane with him as a starter would be a very brave move.
It would be like replacing a Ferrari with a Ford escort and factoring in that Martial is on £250,000 per week ....no chance Levy matching that.
Speaks volumes about him so
Levy already asked for Martial before when he was out of favor with Jose. Its not like Spurs are entirely new to him.
He wont leave England, IMO City have been in contact with him, offered him a contract and said what they are willing to pay and told Harry make it happen.
He's neither good enough, consistent enough nor reliable enough to be the main man.
Nailed on to City in a seemless transfer. Levy will get a nice little gift to iron out any wrinkles. He may even move for sub £100m.
I think it will be for between £100-£125m with addons maybe more but not much more.
Getting shot of Martial and his ridiculous wages in part exchange for Kane would be brilliant business for Utd, but I can‘t imagine Levy falling for that.
Most of our players, even in their prime won't be good enough to push us back to the big time.
Not for us. I'm talking about him doing well as the main man for a smaller club entrusted with the role, similar to what we did last year.
That's a fair point in truth.
:Even if we don't get Kane, I'd try to offload Martial on Spurs. Fits that club perfectly. Flatters to deceive and downs his tools at the first sign of a challenge.
Spurs won't spend money on him.
We should also consider that we have no good striker (apart from Cavani, who might have one or two good seasons left in him). Let's say we sort out our CB and midfield issues. But we'd still need a striker to win the league. How many strikers like Harry Kane or Halaand would be available when we need them?
Hmmm could be
If true, WOW
