Sometimes his eyes narrow and I'm convinced he's going to sneeze because no other part of his face moves.

Any luck in finding this article?
Its just insane how dependent we are on him right now. Without him, our attack looks slow and plain. I have never seen a player of his age come to a new country/league and have such an impact.
He's not the next anyone, just the first Anthony Martial.

Bale would be a dream signing for me, we need a player to knock us up one more notch and we'd be there, and what better than a top right-mid. Who else is there than Bale though? Genuine question.
Agree, proper forward thinking player, I reckon fergie would've loved him. Can't stand it when one of our players get the ball and turn around to play it back, Martial seems to love intimidating their defence and constantly going at them. Would say Herrera and Depay are our only other proper forward thinking players.

His inclusion into the squad has transformed our attack in ways that I'll admit that I didn't think was possible for a boy coming in at 19 with no EPL experience. His quickness, speed, dribbling and finishing are very much needed and his passing has been a nice surprise as well. I hope this kid keeps playing the way he is now. ATTACK!
The first two times I'm talking specifically about talent. The third time I'm saying that 'raw' is a pointless term, which is basically what I've been saying all along.
I never actually called anybody 'raw' as a personal description. It's meaningless.
Just to illustrate his impact, something I posted in the LVG thread.
I think the difference from earlier in the season is Martial. Before we got him, we were scoring an average of 1.66 goals per game (10 in 6, which includes 7 goals against Brugge.) Since then it's 2.5 (15 in 6) against much tougher opposition, while also creating more chances. Small sample sizes obviously but still a clear difference IMO.

Good recovery Dante, Muffled's post is no longer in any way a hilarious put-down.
Greatly appreciated. The kid is diffinetly a talent. I would hope we can manage him to become one of the world's best.
I just realised that Martial actually does have sly eyes like demon
Griezmann, who has a buyout clause and would an amount similar to KDB, and he is also a United fan.
Bale has said it a thousand times that he doesnt want to leave. Even his agent who you'd expect to do the same keeps on saying that. He aint coming here.
Burn
Nah.
Every single teenager in history has been 'raw'. But not every teenager in history has had raw talent. They're two different things. I'm standing by what I said. The last post MF quoted actually backs me up. Most of the other instances are me complaining about people who use the word! (I think one of those is something I posted in the 'little things that annoy you' thread, ffs.)
Saying a teenager is 'raw' is completely redundant. It's as silly as saying that a teenager needs to 'bulk up'. They're nothing phrases that don't mean anything. They only serve to make the poster sound like they're offering an insight when they're not.

That was really said in passing..just reminded me of one which Pexbo did with Dumbstar by quoting something completely contradictory to what he said once..No worries.

Too much raw comedy in this thread
What Martial has done so far in his United isn't extraordinary.....if he was a 25 year old. So in some respect Owen has a point.
But doing it at 19, in a new team, in a new country, with the burden of a huge price tag and the extra expectations that come along with that? That's extraordinary.
He's not only scored and assisted goals, but he's also given some attacking impetus to a team that badly needed it, he's displaced Rooney, and generally looks like he's been a striker for a top club for years. You can sense the confidence boost he has given the team already, and that is why what he's done is breath-taking. So no, his general performances haven't been out of this world, if you ignore the wider context, but ignoring these additional factors is foolish. If he performs in the exact same way 2 or 3 years down the line, Owen would have a point, but not now.
Was going to say that! I'd love to see his Rooney thoughts in comparison!
How anyone can't see that one is plodding, look unfit and barely impacts the game, and one has completely revitalised our attack I don't know.
I'm wasted on you idiots. It's almost as though you can't see I'm the best poster on this site.
You definitely have the raw potential to be the best but you are still a bit raw, patience.
If it's any consolation I'm with you on this.
Really? How so? Not that I don't believe you but is always good to have players who want to play for us regardless of money offered.
What a miserable and boring bastard Owen is....can't believe he was number 7 at United.
Him and his brother are United fans..dont know the twitter handle of his brother but someone here probably does, I heard about this before he was this good though..Yes, those are the kind of players we need..the ADM thing burnt our fingers, we should learn from that.
He's scoring in a team using LVG philosophy something that RVP, Rooney, Hernandez and Falcao had struggled. That despite moving in a new country, at age 19. I find his ability to immediately take ownership of the forward line by scoring and creating some magnificent goals as impressive.
Its funny because if SAF used the same yardstick with Owen as he's using with Martial than we would have never signed him. The man was a wreck, who was living on his reputation and was largely useless to us
Sad part is he has to link up with a dud like wazza. Imagine a #10 on his wavelength and level of play.

Anyone seen this yet? Quotes from the Monaco President about how another team offered an even better deal for Martial, but he really wanted to come to United. I'm liking this kid even more! Wonder who the other team were.

He would be ideal, someone who can play anywhere across the front 4 so can effectively be cover to everyone whilst still nailing down a regular starting spot.
chelsea matched our offer and i think psg were the ones who beat it and were prepared to loan him back.
If true, it does say something about him. He could have got an easier ride in Ligue 1, familiar culture and language, closer to family, but chose to follow his dream to Manchester. Nice.
Just saw that too. Encouraging quotes.
It would surprise me a little if a French footballer had an actual dream of playing for Manchester United. We've only had what Evra and Cantona as significant French players? And even then I didn't think France fans particularly like Evra. Does United really have a strong presence in the area
Yes they do. They are as big as Barcelona or Madrid in France.
Arsenal are huge in France, so I imaging the PL gets a lot of exposure there.
