I assume you're referring to the likes of Saint-maximin, Ben Arfa, Ba, Cisse, Robert - you could be right. If he remains at this level, you'll be vindicated, but he had one of his best seasons last season. I think it's a tad early to assume this is his ceiling.
I think he is better than Gabriel Jesus, Lacazette, Abaraham, Origi, Firmino etc. So I dont see why he cant even be a squad player for us - not really seeing this Newcastle type player in him.
If we need a more predatory striker to play more centrally dominant football then so be it but I dont see players like Rashford and Martial as a problem at all.
I never heard Martial complain about dreaming about playing for another club or having competition for the role so I find the hate that he gets a bit weird, especially when people try to talk about his fans club aswell? Like why?
We had 4 forwards in our best period and I can see why Ole had targeted Haaland to accomplish that. If that happened what I like about it is how we would have had 4 strikers that would have playing in 4 different ways and methods that would have tactically benefited us.
I think the game has moved on from the period where we can have 4 forwards all play like Yorke, Ole, Sheringham and Cole. Not having a single one like that right now except an ageing Cavani isnt the fault of Martial is it? Having Haaland, Martial, Rashford and Greenwood would have been one of the most versatile and flexible striker forces we have. Let's get another striker but why chuck Martial & Rashford under a bus like so many fans seem to be doing. A striker able to play on the left, a striker able to play on the right, a striker able to play deep and a striker able to play clinically around the box.
