We don’t have to sell him to sign Harry Kane. If Kane is good enough for us, Martial will be on the bench.
I’m not even sure what he’s out with, but I wish the medical team would perform the same sort of miracle they did on Giggs when they managed his persistent hamstring injuries to the point they’d almost eradicated them.
Great input, can't wait for your next post
'he was really poor against liverpool"
"he was injured"
"stop with the excuses!!"
I wonder what's been the issue for him. I get that he was annoyed when the manager took his shirt number and shoved him as a winger. But it's not the case anymore, he's truly our best CF and the manager needs him. Is his injury really that bad?
Chances of me at this old age( who has never played a game of "professional" football) playing and scoring a goal is more than what you just told .
It is his hip which I imagine would be a hard thing to deal with considering movement and even kicking a ball.
Well it's not exactly in his interests to feign injury, is it? His body has clearly just broken down on him this season.
Even if he is fit I don't think ten hag will start him until after the international break. Will most likely be on the bench and have a few mins here and there
Wasnt it that giggs stopped running lighting quick along the left lane and became a n10?
No, this was earlier in his career.Nice comeback
Amen to that.
I am of the opinion that the day he was standing still in the loss against Sheffield Utd while everyone else was running around him was the last time he should ever have played for the club.
That was 2 years ago and he's done shag all since.
Almost forgot about him, but yes, how is he not back yet?!
Absolutely. The team of enthusiastic supporters he has here are something else.
Well I guess I was pleasantly surprised that words like 'fanboy' and 'Martial FC' weren't used, so I guess there's that to be thankful for.
Surely he could at least make bench v Betis
ETH has said they’re not rushing him back as he’s come back too soon before and it hasn’t worked . He’s back in training so hopefully he gets 20 mins Thursday or Sunday. It might make more sense to hold until after the break though.
Where is this guy? I thought he’s been close to returning for weeks now yet he’s nowhere to be seen.
That was no Miracle. Giggs had to reinvent himself which took a few seasons and a lot of hard work probably.
He said himself later in his career that he hadn't ran full speed in years such was the fragility of his hamstrings .
ETH said they're going to ease him back in when he's fully 100% fit.
Gut feeling? He's done. Saha 2.0
We should sign a 1st choice striker in the summer (Osimhen), have Martial as backup and WW third choice (inevitably 2nd choice once Martial is injured).
Might have a role to play in May
I was going to say I wonder if we've had any other players that have had his wild up and down rollercoster of highs and lows over the last 6 or 7 years.
But then it's pretty clear we have at least 3 others. De Gea, Shaw and Rashford! They've pretty much had very similar spells of being thought of as the best, or the worst!
In a way, he's our hope to ignite some fire in this tired team but you know it's a big problem if you're doing this with someone like Martial.
As daft as it sounds I think the rest of our season is dependent on him staying fit now. The longer we continue with Weghorst the worse we look.
I'm still hoping for a glorious return in time for the FA Cup and EL finals!!
It really is the hope that kills you as I'm still hoping my sons going to sort himself out and join the Army.....feck all chance of that happening either.

Be nice if a similar solution could be found for Martial.
For a "performance " thread it's certainly seeing a lot of activity.
Tomorrow makes it 31/45 games Martial has missed altogether, still hasn't played a single 90 minutes this season
Not too many performances to write about but it speaks volumes he has more goal contributions than Weghorst even with the limited minutes on the pitch.
Hopefully he can start for us after the international break.

Is the tea leady retiring?!
Any news on him ?
Didn't travel to Spain along with Antony.
When did he last play? It was a couple of months back now wasn't it?
Luckily there's still another 37 rounds or so in the Europa so might make it back late on.

Just in - he's an absolute waste of space. A vacuum of pointlessness that has taken on human form. A vortex of eternal disappointment.
Is his season over?
Seems to have been out forever.

It's amazing how he can be back in training for so long and never actually make the squad.
I'm not asking for miracles here. If he can give us 5 starts before the end of the season I'll take that.
