What a load of crap. Forget this kid. No way can we loan them Rojo - that's madness. And 60 million euros??? It's Monaco where Mendes has a say in things there. Of course he's trying to rinse us - again! Even if the kid turned out to be good, couple years from now he'll be pushing him to Madrid. United are really making a mess now if they agree to this shit.
Anthony Martial

The numbers and loan ideas are ridiculous. If this is happening then there's no way the cost will be like 40 million pounds. 30 at most surely. 30-40 million euros or pounds seems to be the going rate for nailed on worldclass talents these days
I am off the Martial bandwagon if it means Rojo is loaned out.

Yup. We can't be looking to solve one problem by creating another.
The price is high because they know we're desperate and he's their brightest talent.
If we are going to splurge, why not Cavani?
How will Mendes push Martial to Madrid 2 years from now? Mendes is not his agent is he? Even if we agree that Mendes has a big say at Monaco, that won't mean a thing if Martial is United player in 2 years.
Agreed. We need someone now, not another promising attacker.
Griezmann than Cavani
Because he's really not that good. A slightly upgraded version of Andy Carroll.
while we are in france, why not bid another 60 million euros for fekir and get done with it
Not sure if serious?
Thats what i was thinking. If van gaal can make a player out of anyone it would be fekir.
I am on the first part. The upside is minimal here. He would cost loads, with next to no sell on value and is really not that good. Also he will demand a salary in the Rooney/RvP range. If you think spending £35m on an unproven winger/forward is madness then paying £40m+ on Cavani would all but confirm that Woodward/LvG has gone completely bonkers.
I'm not that bothered if Rojo goes on loan. Never really sure what he offers or why we signed him
If rojo does go on loan then signing laporte becomes realistic.
I think it's too late doing business with Bilbao, they always make it difficult.
We are becoming a joke of a club and it's sad and pathetic to see United fall to so low. It's understandable if some saga starts from summer and carries on till the last day of the window. But random new names you have never heard of just shows that the club haven't done their homework and are in a panic mode. Neville put it across perfectly, that teams who are doing business today are not really well run.
Rumors on twitters that he has agreed terms with us...
What strange news this is. Doesn't look all that from the videos - good, but not 60m euros good.
Not in this window though.
Why not get Cavani or Higuaín for that sort of money? Or buy Greizeman for a few euro more. Don't know enough about the guy to make an informed decision so would like a more recognised striker in the squad, of course in could turn out to be a stroke of genius.
I thought it was just me that used that to distinguish which Ronaldo I meant!!
Our recruitment policy seems to be more about economic sense and re sale value rather than footballing sense. Why did we not close the Pedro deal? Why are we planning to spend 60 mil on an unproven player (allegedly)? I said this a year ago, there's something v wrong with united. Maybe we need a DOF. Spending 60m on an unproven 19yr old forward on the last day of the window stinks of panic. There's mismanagement going on at united and it would be unacceptable at any big club.
Seems like an arsenal type player (not for 50 million though).
As much as i understand we did offer 50m euros for him before and we are coming back with second offer. We are probably negotating with Martial and Monaco for some time now, similar how City did with De Bruyne, but we don't give anything to press so they found it out so late.
Price quoted is insane. No chance of this being anything but taking advantage of desperation. I don't really care about the money as long as we can afford it, but its fair to ask some questions.
Martial's a talent but Monaco are taking the piss. He'd need several seasons to reach eventually a world class level, and that's far from guaranteed.
Surely this deal must have already been agreed more or less? I don't see how we would sell Hernandez otherwise. Also, wouldn't rule out that we have been interested in him for a longer period, I doubt that we decide to look into a player on the last week of the transfer window.
Didn't the scousers get a couple of guys like this and nothing came of them?
That happens with most guys they get in, tbf.
Cavani is a top striker. He is the only player in European top leagues - other than Messi and Ronaldo - who has scored 25 or more goals in the last 5 seasons.
You don't get that record by not being very good.
The other points are valid though, and PSG would not sell him now that FFP are binned.
Agreed. But that won't register with the hysterical types on here who, because they haven't heard of him and because we've reached this point without the news being leaked, think that it must be a panic buy instigated in just the last day or two.
If he's one of the brightest talents around I hope we get him.
Which position does he play, RW? Can he play as a striker?
he's only 19, dunno if that's a good news or bad news. Surely isn't ready to lead our line unless he's CR7/Messi, but anything is better than Rooney these days
(Waves pitchfork) get outta here with yer fancy sense talking!!!!!
Or maybe just maybe we've done our homework already and didn't just pull out of the hat out of a sudden. But that wouldn't go well with 'joke of a club' brigade.
60 Million? feck off.
