Am I the only person that can see him starting every game?
g = window.googletag || {}; googletag.cmd = googletag.cmd || []; window.googletag = googletag; googletag.cmd.push(function() { var interstitialSlot = googletag.defineOutOfPageSlot('/17085479/redcafe_gam_interstitial', googletag.enums.OutOfPageFormat.INTERSTITIAL); if (interstitialSlot) { interstitialSlot.addService(googletag.pubads()); } });
I think he’ll have to as well.Am I the only person that can see him starting every game?
Martial needs a break or a kick up the arse or something else entirely, but he's clearly struggling. James is desperately struggling for confidence, Greenwood doesn't look quite ready to start often, and Pereira and Lingard have proven they're not quite up to standard. So yeah he's got an easy in to begin with and it would be strange if he couldn't maintain his place while Rashford was out.Am I the only person that can see him starting every game?
Any chance of extracting the meat of that pie as I already ate my free subscription last window?
Yeah, great. And you could hop on a plan to Pakistan too, doesn't mean you should. Guess what? The Cantonese want the border closed with China as infections rated are going up and up and HK is nowhere near Wuhan. Again, just because it's possible to do something, doesn't mean it's right.Really cool story but like has already been pointed out to you travel from China to pretty much anywhere is still open so even thinking he’d be in quarantine was very questionable.
I'll get your coat.Will Ighaloo get a frosty reception from the Watford fans on February 23rd?
Somebody shouldI'll get your coat.
Two things:It was a desperate last minute transfer and we are being ridiculed by pundits and journalists because of it. So I would love nothing more than for him to play well and nab a couple goals!
Well, not starting every game, but certainly before 70th every game, when we need a goal....Am I the only person that can see him starting every game?
I'm not expecting to many headed goals, as it's not really a strength for him. He does take good positions in the box and knows how to time his runs very instictively.Issues will be how match ready is he! Hasn't played for a while out there, plus points he's been to prem before knows how physical it can be, hopefully he can at least hold up the ball, to bring others on, not enough of that with Martial, or even Lukaku . He may even get us a headed goal! Not many of them so far.
Good news is the winter break should give us some time to get the training in.
If he hits the ground running it would be a massive plus, going into Europa league and rest of the F.A cup, and maybe the league push for top 4, but that's going to be tough.
Odd that Ole came out and said the club wouldn't agree to buy out clauses. Hard to turn down a club who wouldn't agree to your terms.....
Most likely both were true. We were in the running to sign him so were of course given the terms, but even if we had agreed to them there was no guarantee he'd pick us ahead of Dortmund. The fact we declined those terms just made it an easy decision. If we were really his strongly favoured destination I expect there would have been more of a back-and-forth between the parties to try to come to an agreement before he went elsewhere.Odd that Ole came out and said the club wouldn't agree to buy out clauses.

You would hope so but then again he may not give a feck either.It will be some boot up the hole for Martial when he gets dropped for a 30 year old boyhood Utd supporter signed from China.
I agree. Haaland aside (and we should have never accepted that stupid deal even if he scores 10 a game for Dortmund) its not as if there was a lot of top strikers available last month that wouldnt have been really bad deals. (Cavani for example).Two things:
1) It shows that we already have plans for that position this coming summer. So no point splurging a lot of financial resources now.
2) Spuds and Chelsea have been furiously asking for a striker respectively over the Winter transfer and they got zero. Chelsea being the weirdest -- after fighting UEFA/FIFA in the courts to get their transfer ban lifted, then not willing to push the boat out to get a striker is just weird.
I think what Gary Neville said was just stupid and people use it to make the point. His interview where he said "you can see how clubs are run going by last min deals" something like that.Two things:

Were Spurs or Chelseas deal ever comparable to ours where they had a solid 6 months to know a vital player would leave and need replacing?I think what Gary Neville said was just stupid and people use it to make the point. His interview where he said "you can see how clubs are run going by last min deals" something like that.
Spurs were praised for how well they are run and they made so many last day deals, Chelsea won PL title signing many players in last 2 days. Neville is stupidly idealistic and sometimes he is completely disconnected with reality.
I didn't talk about just this deal. It's Neville's stupid "Well run clubs don't make last min deals". Every club makes last min signings, we have done plenty in the past too.Were Spurs or Chelseas deal ever comparable to ours where they had a solid 6 months to know a vital player would leave and need replacing?
I mean, you don't need to be idealistic to know that our plan to replace Lukaku was beyond stupid.
Re point 1, that's an incredibly optimistic outlook. This is probably exactly how it looks, a panic buy (loan).Two things:

I'm not sure I agree. Which panic buys that conceivably weren't even in a club short list were bought on deadline day, last minute?I didn't talk about just this deal. It's Neville's stupid "Well run clubs don't make last min deals". Every club makes last min signings, we have done plenty in the past too.
Gary Neville didn't talk about any imaginary list, just last min deals and he didn't talk about that in this Jan. He said it when we had SAF in charge.I'm not sure I agree. Which panic buys that conceivably weren't even in a club short list were bought on deadline day, last minute?
Bayern, Barcelona, Real, City, Liverpool don't really do this. I'm not sure what purchases Spurs and Chelsea did on deadline day, but I don't think that's comparable to normal business.
Also if I'm not mistaken it's this whole Ighalo panic transfer that prompted Neville to say what he did, is it not? If we are talking about the same rant that is, where he says it's clear from Lukakus account that we had a solid 6 months to identify targets and to for them. That's poor business whichever way you look at it.
The Cantonese are originally based in Guangzhou in China. The Cantonese dialect is spoken in many regions of southern China and also in HK.Yeah, great. And you could hop on a plan to Pakistan too, doesn't mean you should. Guess what? The Cantonese want the border closed with China as infections rated are going up and up and HK is nowhere near Wuhan. Again, just because it's possible to do something, doesn't mean it's right.

Martial is very likely to embarras most of the posters here, once we get PP and Bruno. Ighalo could struggle really badly with the pace of the Prem. If I was to choose between Ighalo and Lukaku, I'd definetely go for the latter.I think he'll embarrass Martial. All he needs to show is a bit of drive and determination - a bit of hunger which Martial seems devoid of, and he's embarrassed him.
Throw in a few goals and hopefully it'll be made clear to everyone that Martial needs ditched.
If you manage a business or have an annual budget to run, you will know what I mean.Re point 1, that's an incredibly optimistic outlook. This is probably exactly how it looks, a panic buy (loan).
