Of course you can. Ed Woodward doesn't fill out the paperwork personally.

It would be incredibly stupid to spend that kinda money for him for sure.
Why are you stating nonsense as if its fact. He wasn't fired from Lyon they wanted to keep him but were forced to sell him because they were in debt. You say Rooney played a full season with Everton to try back up your nonsense and ignore the fact that Martial has actually made more club appearances than Rooney had when he arrived. You claim he's not highly rated in France despite the fact that he's been viewed as their future striker and as close to a certainty to make it since he was 15. I understand some people not wanting the deal but your claims are ridiculous.
Doesn't it make more sense to spend a lot of a 19 year old because of the fact the value is spread over their potential length of service?
Now, Pedro decision seems more stupid and awful
If we buy this one, it will be a very first for me for as long as I've been "actively" following United. I don't recall that we've ever made a substantial purchase that I hadn't heard of before we were linked with the player 
That said:
I totally agree with fallengt
That said:
50 m is fecking a lot but I always rated this kid since the first time I saw his name ( which was few hours ago ). If he comes, he'll be huge for us .
Don't worry lads, we got this spot on.Right ? Right?
I totally agree with fallengt
Of course they do, every deadline day you get reports of paperwork being submitted to the Premier League late and waiting to see if they will accept it. Plenty of deals get rushed through at the last moment.
Well if he turns out to be any good, then yeah. But if he turns out to be the new Obertan...
Surely there would already be some form of negotiations going on before deadline day.
Why surely?
So we've only really got until midnight tonight to get this one done. If we don't then there's no way Monaco will sell him to us when they can't physically get in a replacement.
Total meltdown on here. Even decent posters losing it.
I can't imagine a club will just say yes you can take him with so little time left to find a replacement.
Completely meaningless the moment you think of the calibre of players that have earned that distinction in recent times. But paying this much for an unproven player is madness really, these are the figures that you expect to pay for Benzema, Cavani et al and if you add ten million to that you'd get yourself Lewandowski - if ever they are available. Right now we need to sign a player that will come in and be in a position to make a difference, this kid no matter the depth of his potential is not that.
Easy... You have proof of funds in seconds from the bank
Medical as we have seen in the Ozil transfer can be done wherever the player is
Agreeing a fee / contract in 2 hours is entirely plausible if you match both club and player expectations.
It's more the scouting and background checks on the player you cant do plus the player will have no time to look at houses schools etc before arriving and being expected to hit the ground running
yes they do, deals have been done and dusted from the start to finish plenty of times on deadline days
falcao was done in a day
Harry has admitted to concluding numerous deadline deals in 24 hours
Becose you can't agree all things in one day.
If the club wants to sell and the player is in a place to have a medical you can absolutely do everything in a day.
Maybe I'm just being too negative because negativity is surrounding us yet again after such a positive start to the window.
I follow football a bit and can honestly say I have never seen this guy play. If he is next Thierry Henry I dont mind us spending such a fee on him, but at 19 with only one season under his belt, in the French league, arent we better spending the money on Kane, at least he knows the league?
I'd rather play Wilson than sign this kid at the moment. At least Wilson fits the bill and the expectations on his shoulders aren't that high.
Can you imagine what the fans would expect from a 19 year old bought for almost £40 million?

Still don't understand the logic, of course you can. It's amazing what can be achieved in a high pressure scenario. Do you not find this sometimes in your working life?
At the end of the day we need numbers
The club has fecked up by selling RVP big time and leaving it this late to sign an extra striker.
The need to bring someone in. If this guy is potentially great they will have to make the punt as I dont see any other alternatives right now
And for being dicks we deserve to get screwed for every penny Monaco want

None starter.....
Don't know if it's been told here but L'Equipe says Monaco won't sell under 70-80M€ or with an Hernandez loan. And since the latter is heading to Leverkusen...
Lyon would recoup 25% of the selling so Monaco pushing hard.

Just read on monaco forum a poll
Which of the three players would you least like to leave this summer?
They were ready to let abdenour and Kondogbia go but least votes were for martial. So it seems he is highly rated their. Most said they would sell him at 40 million euros/or would not sell him at all.
This pole was done when barca etc were linked with him.
Most are saying they should not sell as they cannot get a player so soon. The market in france closes today, they cannot buy after today but can sell till tomorrow to us. Most are okay with selling him above 50 million again. They would want chicharito as a ready made replacement. They have 129 page thread on him (one page has 10 posts max) they consider him to be the best upcoming french striker and most say they will not be able to keep him anyway.

I am very rational person and very calm on this forum but if we do sell Hernandez and not bring the replacement i will join the sell LVG sack Woody and ship Coleen to Terry group. One reason i was so calm was that i believed we will add something infront but the clock is really ticking now.
That's pretty daft on our part to leave it so late.
Yes
But most people here won't get this
I'd prefer to buy a youth with great potential and hunger and pace than someone like Di Maria
Remember how confident we were when we secured one of the worlds best strikers on loan last year? Falcao was established and had it all
Hernandez is unlikely to accept a move to Monaco IMO.
Definitely a gamble but equally one which could pay off handsomely.
He's rated about as highly in France as Memphis was in the Netherlands, albeit a year behind in development. Memphis has been bit and miss but clearly has the required ability level.
Martial looks to have a skill set which could really suit English football, and is comfortable playing on the right wing or up top, covering two positions in need of reinforcement. With Hernandez going we surely need another striker too, but I'm not remotely against this signing as some here seem to be.

Well said, Lyon even put a close that allow them to earn a 'significant' part of the future transfer fee.
Kinda makes you wonder why we left it this late then? Would have made more sense to get him signed earlier unless it is a panic buy.
It's been left this late because he's at least 4th or 5th choice. We've given up on our first choices
This fact is so self-evident that it shouldn't need saying
If the price keeps going up we are being held to ransom. They know we are desperate.
Not exactly the same but I imagine if we'd had a poll on here back on May who would you least like to leave Falcao, RVP, Hernandez or Wilson that Wilson would win that poll.
If we are that far down the list we would be better not bothering.
Skimming the thread, a lot of the nay-saying is the standard transfer muppet bollox where some caftard has an opinion on a player's value and paying anything more than that fee = bad signing.
We need a striker and, personally, I much prefer signing up and coming young stars like Depay or Shaw rather than players like Di Maria and Falcao. You might not get an immediate return but the long term rewards are far greater. If he's good enough, I couldn't care less how much we spend. We're certainly flush with cash right now.
Your choice of player is poor, De Gea, Wilson and Herrera would have been more accurate.
The 20 goals is precisely what we need. yes this kid might be good, but to me no amount of pace is any good if your main striker is too slow and has the touch of an elephant.
