At the end of the day, my point is that Martial is average. If Wenger is willing to take Martial for Sanchez, I would do that all day without any hesitation.
I don't understand why people are so protective of an average player. What does he do that is so spectacular?
In a couple of years, Martial will be just another guy who could have been this or that.
This is just my opinion. People don't have to lose their shit.
The question you need to ask is who would you have in your team now? Martial or Sanchez?
I know its just your opinion but Martial is actually having a better season than Sanchez. Hes scored and assisted more whilst playing 200 minutes less than Sanchez. So right now I'd take Martial. I'd also take him for the future too, fair enough he may not be as good a player as Sanchez, maybe not ever. But hes young, what you and other people are forgetting is that he's only 22, he's almost certainly going to improve. He has a goal or assist basically every other game for Manchester United. Sanchez on the other hand is 30 by the end of the year, he will only have a few seasons left, and if he's anything like Rooney, will already be in a decline. Also, I mentioned Martial scoring or assisting every other game, Sanchez at Barcelona was practically the same - scoring or assisting just over every other game.
Here is their comparison for this current season:
Martial has scored / assisted every 91.7 minutes in the premier league. 89.8 minutes in all competitions
Sanchez has scored / assisted every 150.7 minutes in the premier league. 142.6 in all competitions.
Fair enough you might say it's because he's unsettled and doesn't want to play for Arsenal, but who wants a player like that? Coutinho was professional enough for Liverpool even though he wanted to leave.
People may be overrating Martial and predicting he'll win the Ballon D'or one day, but your underrating him saying he's just average, when in fact he is actually a brilliant player who has been a good asset this season. Would you still take Sanchez over Martial now?
