He isn’t going to play half the games last season he played about 1100 mins in total, when we had lots of games. He hasn’t played much more than that in forever.would have to be a pretty hefty offer to get enough to sell, not much else to bring in at this point. Unfortunately i think you just have to suck it up and know he will only play half the season, at best. When he is on he can be a good player up top, but just know that will be about half of his games. Leeches have brought united to this level.
No he can't.Martial can be replaced by literally any academy player.
He’s not going to be fit at any point, no point paying his wages if there’s any alternative. And we’re in the CL now so those wages are probably back to £13m a season
hence i said at best. If i had faith in the club to release funds and have an actual target to bring in id be all for swapping him out. Unfortunately i have faith in neither of those things.He isn’t going to play half the games last season he played about 1100 mins in total, when we had lots of games. He hasn’t played much more than that in forever.
No, he definitely can. He’s not been fit all summer, hes never going to be fit. Literally anyone with a pulse is an upgrade on someone who will never be available.No he can't.
£5 is a hefty offer if it means not having to piss away £13m to keep the medical staff busy over the next year.also id be curious to hear what the "hefty" offer even is. If it is something stupid like 40 million then yeah sell and just figure shit out ha. but if "hefty" is like 10 million then nah
What can i say, I'm an optimist.As we know you can’t play him for more than about 20 minutes at a time or you risk him breaking down again and being out for 3 months
There's not a cat in hell's chance of getting 20-25 games out of Martial, at least not in one season.Martial and Rasmus is actually prettyy decent up top, far better than Weghorst and Martial, as every second Martial wasn't fit was felt so much given the sort of player Weghorst was for us.
If Rasmus proves to be decent and stays mostly fit, and we can 20-25 games form Martial then we should be ok.
I just can't see us signing another CF now anyway, so it'll have to work.
Do we have another #9 fit and ready to go?How is Martial still in the club and worse of all, even starting for the team? When was the last time he put in a decent performance? Does anyone know what ETH sees in this guy that most of us don't?
Our youth academy 9s aren't close to being ready. They barely score goals in the reserves.No, he definitely can. He’s not been fit all summer, hes never going to be fit. Literally anyone with a pulse is an upgrade on someone who will never be available.
Fred the red could do it.
Does he do anything at all as a no. 9? Seems like we are playing with 10 men when he playsDo we have another #9 fit and ready to go?
So true but you can guarantee that Mckola will remain a member of Martial FC despite itDoes he do anything at all as a no. 9? Seems like we are playing with 10 men when he plays
He did nothing against Forest but it was still a success because it allowed Rashford to play on the left.Does he do anything at all as a no. 9? Seems like we are playing with 10 men when he plays
Is Joe Hugill really worse than Weghorst? Is he even worse than demotivated, out-of-position Rashford pretending to be #9? He definitely wasn't in the preseason, so I am not certain, even if I understand preseason is not real competition.Our youth academy 9s aren't close to being ready. They barely score goals in the reserves.
I think the answer to your first question is, yes he really is worse than Weghorst and probably by orders of magnitude. The premier league is a brutal environment and if he's playing in the 5th tier then it's because that's his level right now. He's 9 months older than Garnacho who is playing premier league football.Is Joe Hugill really worse than Weghorst? Is he even worse than demotivated, out-of-position Rashford pretending to be #9? He definitely wasn't in the preseason, so I am not certain, even if I understand preseason is not real competition.
Even if Joe is worse than having nobody, which I am having hard time believing, what the hell is he doing playing for Altrincham in fifth league, while still training in the academy? Who designed that idiotic scheme and how is it helping the development of our players? If he is our top center forward prospect from the academy, why is he in such complete shit situation at the ripe age of 19? Saka and Martinelli are only couple years older than him and they have been tearing it up for Arsenal.
It is our fault that we don't have anybody from the youngsters than can cover us at least better than an empty spot. That is not how it should be.
Well, he is playing fifth league because somebody at United devised this crazy scheme of playing our promising under-23s with Altrincham, while they train with our academy not Altrincham. Supposedly, they just get competitive games with grown-ups, albeit in shit league but get training United-style. It makes no sense to me, either.I think the answer to your first question is, yes he really is worse than Weghorst and probably by orders of magnitude.

How can a loss be a win.He did nothing against Forest but it was still a success because it allowed Rashford to play on the left.
Watched a lot of Hugill for the U21s and yes, he’s considerably worse than Martial or Rashford or anyone else we can play there. Doesn’t matter what Saka is doing at Arsenal, Hugill just won’t make it as a player at United. You have to be a special player to start up front for United in the PLIs Joe Hugill really worse than Weghorst? Is he even worse than demotivated, out-of-position Rashford pretending to be #9?

Wouldn’t mind him being given a chance. A lot of people would have said the same thing about Rashford when he was first brought in. Sometimes players rise to the challenge.Watched a lot of Hugill for the U21s and yes, he’s considerably worse than Martial or Rashford or anyone else we can play there.

Hugill is a lot more inconsistent in the U21s than Rashford was. He has struggled with the step up from U18s. I have every belief he will be a solid pro, but he will develop later in his career it looks like.Wouldn’t mind him being given a chance.

That's mainly because we either had to play Weghorst or move Rashford up top where he's not half as good.I hope this is true. Though with martial, united play better definitely.
We shouldn’t accept anything under 35-40 mil for him, he’s literally the first choice striker when fit.
We can hopefully use that money to get a functional striker on loan.
That planet is where nobody fecking runs.I get very frustrated with Martial too, but he is on another planet compared to our youth 9s. Hopefully that changes with some of the U18/ U16 lads coming through.
Agreed, I was hoping a Saudi club only can submit a bid greater than 20 atleast.That's mainly because we either had to play Weghorst or move Rashford up top where he's not half as good.
Unless a club from the Saudi Arabian league come in for him there is no way we're getting close to that for him, and even then they would have to lose their minds to offer so much.
You're laughably wrong. We just had Rashford there for two games and he was fecking dire.That planet is where nobody fecking runs.
Anybody and I repeat anybody would be better than martial in his current state.
I thought he had played there but maybe under OleHas ETH tied Bruno in a false 9 role? If so, how has it impacted Bruno's performances?
We are going to have to play one of Bruno or Mount in the front three, I reckon.Has ETH tied Bruno in a false 9 role? If so, how has it impacted Bruno's performances?
You can’t trick me. I saw Wout Weghorst play for us.That planet is where nobody fecking runs.

I might be wrong, but didn’t he play there in the first game of 21/22 and score a hat trick, then we signed Ronaldo?I thought he had played there but maybe under Ole
