You listed him as a player juventus had let go, why would I be explaining the circumstances of his madrid departure when you are talking about his juve departure?
Ah yeah i listed him as Juventus so his time at madrid goes into a black hole and ceases to exist. Higuain can be added to the list for both teams.
Still waiting for the list of players better than him btw.
You have got to be a WUM, youve discounted countless players for reasons such as 'wanted a shiny new toy'.
Sorry are we replacing marial with a 25 year old ozil, a 26 year old courtois and a 26 year old mata? I would rather go back and buy pele,maradona,etc if we have a time machine.
Yet all of those players bar Courtois would look pathetic in this team. So we don’t really fix the solution. Except for your Fellaini and Lukaku type players (workmen) I don’t see how we replace Martial and go up in quality. Either way we will have a new manager by next season so we will see how he wants the team to pan out.
The original point was that top teams have sold better players and you discounted those because 'reasons'. You've also gone onto do the classic Pele and Maradona throwback whenever discussing past players as if thats at all comparable. Im sure there is no reason to sell Martial right, he's been one of the best players in the league and is playing every game.
Out of the first list only lemar plays as a left winger and he likes to come inside, out of the second there is no one I think. So yeah you are full of shit.
Which would be a great point if we didn't already have players ahead of him vying for the LW position.
Not really? If we are replacing martial we will replace him with a lw not a right winger or striker or am since he doesn't play those positions.
No we don't. We replace him with a player we need. Getting rid of Martial and bringing in a RW - a position we are significantly weaker in - makes infinity more sense than buyer another LW.
I was loving his output last season but I remember being annoyed and frustrated with his performance when he started. He seemed to have moments of brilliance then a lot of frustrating periods in between. Off the bench he played like he smelled blood.
Yeah, but it's a completely different outlook you need to have as a starter compared as coming on in the last 25 minutes. Especially because Martial has always had some issues with his stamina, he needs to pace himself. At the end of the day, he produced the goods and got this team wins, sure it's not the whole package with the tireless dog attitude, but he did his part.
That's not replacing him though, that's replacing mata or whoever plays right wing.
We already have Rashford and Sanchez that play on the left ahead of Martial anyway.
Of course it is. We all know you're an uber-fan of Martial, but whether you like it or not he's well down at the pecking order at the moment. Why on Earth would we replace our 3rd choice left winger with another when we sorely need a right winger? His place in the squad can be taken by countless others and, at the moment, contribute far more to the team. Frankly, we don't need to replace Martial like for like, making your point all a bit, well, pointless.
Because his replacement hasn't been performing? That was the whole point of discussion when you jumped in.

Tony Martial signs again50 million down the drain!!
Can someone translate this please?
'Martial has found an agreement to extend his contract at United an extra 5 years. Info confirmed by his agent who says a few minor details still need to be finalized but the agreement has been confirmed'
Nice. Now play him Rashford and Sanchez as our front three.'Martial has found an agreement to extend his contract at United an extra 5 years. Info confirmed by his agent who says a few minor details still need to be finalized but the agreement has been confirmed'
Music to all of our ears
Exactly, its almost as if some fans have forgotten about a thing called competition or strenght in depth. We dont need to sell a LW to bring in a RW.
Thanks for reminding me about this.
It's completely on point. Desperate and failed. Well played.
Its okay, you can be an uber fan of perisic and fellaini and lest we forget morata.
