There is no elephant in the room, goalscoring isn't on a single player. The question should always be extended to all attackers.I love Martial but lets address the elephant in the room. Does he score enough goals to lead the line for a side that has championship ambitions? And if the answer is no then will he soon?
Here you go. Definitely not happening though.3 pages and no youtube compilation vids... Tsk tsk
Martial will score 30 all comps next seasonI am not saying Jiminez is the answer. My original question stands though.
And that question then is more relevant for Rashford, as he's about to (or should) lose a massive chunk of the goals he's scored this season through penalties. Once he loses them to Bruno his record will be under even more scrutinyThere is no elephant in the room, goalscoring isn't on a single player. The question should always be extended to all attackers.
I might be a child of the 90s but the sharp end of the attack should hit numbers above 20 in the league. Martial is a great skilled player but is he able to bang them in?There is no elephant in the room, goalscoring isn't on a single player. The question should always be extended to all attackers.
That's fair. I think that he will increase his record and hopefully we will have a better goalscorer/creator than James.And that question then is more relevant for Rashford, as he's about to (or should) lose a massive chunk of the goals he's scored this season through penalties.

Bruno may score 25 goals next season if he takes all penaltiesAnd that question then is more relevant for Rashford, as he's about to (or should) lose a massive chunk of the goals he's scored this season through penalties. Once he loses them to Bruno his record will be under even more scrutiny
I hope soMartial will score 30 all comps next season
Disagree, don't forget United is one of the biggest clubs in the world.Nope. He wouldn’t come if he wasn’t first choice and Martial has that spot locked down.
He scored 17 goals while missing 2 months of football and scored 9 and 10 goals during the last seasons while playing less than half of the minutes available and as a winger. All of that in teams that lacked creativity.I might be a child of the 90s but the sharp end of the attack should hit numbers above 20 in the league. Martial is a great skilled player but is he able to bang them in?
He's another option, a different kind of player.Why?
We have Mason and Martial and he's not a better goalscorer than either of them
Like I said in previous posts I hope you are right. I love him as a player but I still struggle to see him as a out and out goal scorer. I really hope he proves me wrong.He scored 17 goals while missing 2 months of football and scored 9 and 10 goals during the last seasons while playing less than half of the minutes available and as a winger. All of that in teams that lacked creativity.
He would have this season if we had signed Fernandes in the summer and he didnt get injuredI hope so
Might be cheaper to bring Fellaini back. Proven here too.He's another option, a different kind of player.
Liverpool just won the title at a canter with a lead forward who scored 9 goals all season. Martial finished the season with 2 less goals than league champions top goalscorer, without taking penalties, despite missing 2 months of the season.I love Martial but lets address the elephant in the room. Does he score enough goals to lead the line for a side that has championship ambitions? And if the answer is no then will he soon?
So a striker that scores 17 goals in the league without penalties doesn't strike you as an out and out goal scorer? Would you say the same thing about Andy Cole?Like I said in previous posts I hope you are right. I love him as a player but I still struggle to see him as a out and out goal scorer. I really hope he proves me wrong.
Honestly when people post stuff like this you wonder whether they’ve been living under a rock for the past 300 million transfer windows.
Fellaini gets a lot of shit but to be fair to him he got us some important goals and was a viable plan B at times.Might be cheaper to bring Fellaini back. Proven here too.
I wasn't joking tbf. Fellaini was the definition of a different option up front and actually very good at what he was asked to do.Fellaini gets a lot of shit but to be fair to him he got us some important goals and was a viable plan B at times.
Agreed. You need different options, it only makes you more lethal as a side. Option one doesn't always work.I wasn't joking tbf. Fellaini was the definition of a different option up front and actually very good at what he was asked to do.
When people reply with this, you have to wonder if they get the point behind the post or simply make an immediate self-interpretation like always.Honestly when people post stuff like this you wonder whether they’ve been living under a rock for the past 300 million transfer windows.
Fair point. Lets see what happens next season and go from there.So a striker that scores 17 goals in the league without penalties doesn't strike you as an out and out goal scorer? Would you say the same thing about Andy Cole?
I’m saying when people do that you have to wonder. Not you.When people reply with this, you have to wonder if they get the point behind the post or simply make an immediate self-interpretation like always.
Was going to reply to that disaster of a post but just didn't have the energy to botherThey are different types of strikers. Who have the same amount of league goals. Go figure. What do you mean let alone Igahlo?
In 1999 Cole & Yorke were rattling them in, yet fergie still had ole and Sheringham to come on.Martial will score 30 all comps next season
Wasnt saying we shouldn’t sign JimenezIn 1999 Cole & Yorke were rattling them in, yet fergie still had ole and Sheringham to come on.
I think it’s a school of thought that ole might subscribe to
Yeah I’d like it. A proper number 9Hope it's true. Qualify striker and different to what we have.
No I know, I was just using your post to make a general commentWasnt saying we shouldn’t sign Jimenez
Coming off a season where we had a front 3 with an average age of 21 being one of the highest scoring in Europe and we're looking to sign Sancho yet this tired narrative still persistsThere is no elephant in the room, goalscoring isn't on a single player. The question should always be extended to all attackers.
I think a lot of people expect Martial goal output to increase next year. You mentioned 20 goals in the league yet he managed 17 goals while missing 2 months of football and not taking penalties. Not to mention he did that with mostly no creativity for almost 2/3 of the season. if you factor all that one can easily see him increase his output next year, especially considering he'd have more experience as a CF compared to his first full season as one.I might be a child of the 90s but the sharp end of the attack should hit numbers above 20 in the league. Martial is a great skilled player but is he able to bang them in?
And we complain about the logo and bits on our shirt!
elephant in the roomI love Martial but lets address the elephant in the room. Does he score enough goals to lead the line for a side that has championship ambitions? And if the answer is no then will he soon?
Let’s give Martial a whole season of playing with Sancho, Rashford, Fernandes and Pogba and being used to the role seeing as this season was his first as a centre forward after playing wide for pretty much his entire career with us.I love Martial but lets address the elephant in the room.
