He's already costing us around £60m. Spurs have continually proven to be very awkward to deal with. Are they seriously now rolling in with a big-money bid for one of our best prospects and expecting a result?
I'd be very surprised.

Wouldn't surprise me if they come back with an improved offer.
Your ears always hear what they want to hear. But surely you have to break your wage structure and pay through the nose for Martial?
Him not playing well obviously. If he smashes it, would he be dropped?! Esp with Jose who historically loves a settled XI
Surely Spurs wouldn't spend more than 80m on a bench warmer, as he obviously couldn't make it in to the illustrious spurs XI?
Glaston now also as an ITK.
The gift that never stops giving.

To be clear, I've no idea whether this single-media-source story concerning Spurs is just click-bait or has legs. Mostly likely, judging by most media stories concerning football, it's the latter.
However, I think what's probably true is that Martial is unhappy at United and wants out. Whether he wants out enough to accept a pay cut is a different question, but Spurs most certainly would not break their wage structure for him, even assuming that we wanted him in the first place.
It wouldn't surprise me if he's right though. If we get a new LW like Jose wants, what do you think Martial will think? He'll never play. Spurs would be a good move for him at this stage.
I will lose all faith with Jose if he sanctions the sale of Martial(especially to spurs who don't sell to EPL rivals).
No, I am not ITK, and have never claimed to be so. But one or two other people are. People with a proven track record. Believe it or not ... it matters little to me.
Madrid won't sell us anyone without De Gea in return.
We shouldn't sell Spurs anyone without Alli or Kane in return.

It would be a bit stupid to sell him though. He definitely has shown his potential over the last 2 seasons, can definitely play in the positions required. Just needs some confidence and settled game time.
Really? Wow you must have a scoop. Where and from whom did you hear that?
Media reports of Spurs players being unhappy = obviously bullshit.
Single media report of Martial being unhappy = seems true.
Glaston gonna Glaston.

Surprised Spurs haven't bid for Lingard considering that he's supposedly a better player and they could get him for a fraction of the price
All the potential in the world won't do him any good if Mourinho doesn't think he will realize it. So it could make sense to sell him now rather than watch his value drop while he sits on the bench.
If we sell him for less than we bought him I'll be pretttttty annoyed. If we sell him to Spurs I'll be fuming.
Which is why I wrote the 3rd sentence also. He just needs to play regularly and that's it.
Also, Mou plays Rashford on the wing regularly, so I am not so sure.
Did the media report say that Martial was unhappy? I've no idea, since I've not read it. My understanding, which may be mistaken, is that it simply reported a bid.
My suggestion that Martial wants out comes from elsewhere.
Why would I be joking. I'd happily sell Martial for 50m and sign Dembele for 100.
fickle
For Levy....we can offer him up for about 250m.
Wont happen.
Spurs are notorious cheapskates.
That is all good in a normal market but not so great in a sellers market like we have now.
We are being quoted 50m for an average journeyman in the same position. No way we sell for anything Spurs can afford.
I wouldn't sell his shoe for 30 million.
Surely we'd want £50 million + , and Martial would want £120 k +, so it's a non starter even if we did want to sell.
Will be make or break for Martial this season with us though.

That's irrelevant, because you wouldn't know them from Adam.
Anyhow, let's not get side-tracked. I have reason to believe the suggestion that Martial is unhappy, wants out and that his agent has been doing to rounds concerning this. If you don't believe it, then fair enough.
From your sources. Of course.
This. You just know Poch would sort him out and get Martial firing again. Still mind-boggling how Lingard starts over him.

How much did they actually bid?
Yep. Obvious WUM is obvious.
To FOK & Joe Clash on The Fighting Cock: Successful is a WUM who nobody takes seriously here. Asterisks in idiot were inserted by him.
I wouldn't want to see it happen but like most United fans I'm not sure if José rates him
It's a world cup year and France have an embarrassment of riches up top. Tony could well miss out on Russia if he's a bit part player here again
He has all the talent in the world, I hope he knuckles down but if he doesn't want to fight and the price is right....

In no world should Manchester United consider strengthening a club we will need to compete with this season.
They better not fecking sell him
Forget selling Martial .....but make a bid for Ali.
Ali would definitely want away if the offer was right ....he has no allegiance to Spurs.

It's not even media reports.
More than one of their players have actually gone on record questioning them.
Someone find Glaston's posts about none of our players getting into the Spurs team before he edits them.
