Jaysus, the hyping over Martial in this thread is a bit OTT. Look, Martial is a talented player, I'd like it if he stayed, but the way this thread is going, it's as if he is bang on to be the next Ronaldo/Messi. I can't recall the last player we had to be as overhyped as Martial. Seriously, what has he done to warrant such a big reaction? Yes, he has some flair, has potential to be an exciting player, and possibly has a high ceiling, but guess what? So does loads of other players too!
I remember when we were linked to Sanchez, if I recall correctly, the Caf were pretty much agreeable on the signing. But now it sounds like signing an instant star in Sanchez is a bad move, because it hinders Martial's progress.
What's even more ridiculous in this thread is that the narrative is it all boils down to Jose. Relax guys, Martial is still young, he should show some patience and keep his head up, as it is with all young players. I don't even know where all these rumours of him leaving started in the first place. If he's good enough, he's old enough. If he leaves, good luck to him, as I doubt he will be an absolute world class star as many believe him to be. If he stays, then fair play to him for being patient and continue to fight for a place.
I'd be more gutted to lose Rashford tbh, and not just because he's "local".
