Nah from what I gather Martial's been working his way into the team and tail end of last season was pretty much a first teamer.Considering Martial only just broke into the Monaco first team (if I'm correct?), then not him. Infact, unless he's truly worth the £36m+, I think we've signed him a bit early. 11 goals in 49 apps for Monaco over two seasons isn't particularly exciting, but there's no doubt he'd have become a great player in a couple years time after regular game time for Monaco.
Prove me wrong Martial! Memphis for this season, though.
That's what I said, isn't it? That he's only just fully broken into the first team... which being an established first teamer only at the tail end of last season confirms.Nah from what I gather Martial's been working his way into the team and tail end of last season was pretty much a first teamer.
I get the impression that we went for Martial because he's on the verge of a breakout and didn't want to pay more in the future

Agreed.Memphis.
He's more established with a full pre season with the team.
didn't they get Suarez for around 25 mil that season as well though? hint-a-dee-hint-hintDepay. United are going to look like Liverpool did when they signed Caroll if this Martian turns out to be dogshite. Hopefully not like.
happy to see I'm not the only one that made the connection due to the surrounding circumstances...and neither of them are spanish, brazilian, or portugese so the chances of them jerking off to Real/Barca are also significantly smaller.Memphis = Ronaldo
Martial = Rooney
Prob will end up that way too...
I thought its more about the case of getting him now rather than losing him to other big clubs fighting for his signature next summer.
Jesus! I hate to think how much more we could have paid for him
We need a Tevez then!Memphis = Ronaldo
Martial = Rooney
Prob will end up that way too...
That's the key isn't it! The most difficult thing to predict is not whether the lads are talented or good enough. It's more about whether they are allowed to express themselves without the straight jackets placed upon them and being taught how to play football. They are young enough to be constantly learning but it's important they are not training hard to confine themselves. None attacking football is really hard to watch. Keeping possession without scoring is plain stupid.Whoever works the hardest. Memphis might just edge it for now with his experience, but Martial looks like a great prospect as well. Hopefully LvG will take the shackles off and let the players play some attacking football.
sounds like a rap battle
why does everybody see it like this? Memphis himself has top potential whereas very few people have seen Martial play. The pricetag is ridiculous IMO and shouldn't affect people's decision making. I think Memphis will become beasty player, can't say really who will become better now. Pretty daft asking this question this early if you asked me..Memphis will be better for for a few years, but i see martial being the better player eventually (fingers crossed)
Of course its daft, the vast majority of threads on this forum are daft. I've never seen martial play, all i have to go on is the impression the club has given out due to the overall price tag and the fact they have been scouting him for years (so they say) under this assumption im getting behind our new signing and i refuse to think he will bust, therefore i trust the club's thinking in which he will be a top player and worth every penny.why does everybody see it like this?

I would have waited at least couple of games to launch this thread.. more than eighty percent of people judge him only by pricetag and youtube. I also think that you can make as good highlights of Januzaj's breakthrough season if nto better than Martial where he seems nothing special for me.. that's why I wait with the judgement..Of course its daft, the vast majority of threads on this forum are daft.

That would make sense because Mata cuts inside more than anyone else.The thing i want to see from depay is what i see from robben. Cut in and shoot.
Martial however could be a special player if he learns how to drift out to the right compared to his natural tendencies to drift to the left.
This means from a central position; he could overlap whichever sided winger is cutting in at the time.
Well done on highlighting the flaws in the implementation of the newbie system.philosophy.
read somewhere that 8 were in his last 9 last season.Considering Martial only just broke into the Monaco first team (if I'm correct?), then not him. Infact, unless he's truly worth the £36m+, I think we've signed him a bit early. 11 goals in 49 apps for Monaco over two seasons isn't particularly exciting, but there's no doubt he'd have become a great player in a couple years time after regular game time for Monaco.

Similar to Rooney's record at Everton which was around 15 in 67. So I wouldn't take that statistic alone and say it's unexciting. Teenagers rarely have a record of a goal every other game.Considering Martial only just broke into the Monaco first team (if I'm correct?), then not him.
