So excited I'm making bluberry muffins right now.
Anthony Martial

Playing on BT Sport against a team that is better than us so worth a watch if curious.
I don't know about this one. Yes, he might have massive potential, but we need a ready made star to come in on the right wing, in my opinion. They'd be too much inexperience from him and Depay on the wings, and we can't expect them to perform well every week.
United have wasted the entire summer pursuing strikers that are out of your reach, and now ....
B is for Button. P is for Panic.

He'll struggle against a far better team that will dominate and he'll be shit again 
And S is for Spurs haven't won a bloody game yet.
Aurier/Martial has been a great battle so far.
this sentence has me in stitches.How has it come to this?
He's already better than any of our strikers. He's got everything: technique, explosiveness, speed, power. I thought the other day that he would be a great signing. Hopefully it is not too late though. Monaco would fail in the league without him.
True. But look at it this way. Would you rather spend 45 or 50m euros for Martial, 15m for Austin, 50m for Harry kane, or sign nobody? Because that's what it looks like the options are. And Martial can potentially become one of the best strikers around and exactly the type we need.
bernardo silva is the only player i would get from Monaco. Marital plays largely on the left. dont see the point. we need a RW/RF
Does anyone know enough about him to give us an accurate assessment of key strengths and weaknesses?
Wait 4-3-3 with depay left, martial right and berba central to poach
Also, it's very similar to the price we paid for Rooney, a tiny bit more, but not counting inflation. We signed Rooney for 30m ish at 18. Martial is 19, turning 20, and would cost 35m pounds I think with the exchange rate. And you can bet a decent amount would be in add ons. Monaco need the money as well for ffp I think. I'm not sure there's much between Martial now and Rooney when he was 18/19 as well.
Watched him a handful of times, and without focusing on him at the start, he grabbed my eye right away. Really fast, strong, and a great dribbler on the ball. Has a good touch as well. Goes past players with ease, and plays along the front line either on the wings (haven't seen him out wide much) or up front. Still young so would be inconsistent of course, but can definitely make an impact right now.
B is for Bottom Half. P is for Premiership. Which is where you currently are.
He's strong.
Well it was only Veratti he threw off of him.
Watching the match, wanted to get a look at him, with all their darker skinned players, its really hard to tell
But seriously, from the little I've seen him in this match, he definitely likes to take on his man, which is good....Although LVG would stamp that out

This is the kind of talent you miss on and in a couple of years people will be crying on here that we didn't get him.
Thanks for rendering my post meaningless.
That's racist.Watching the match, wanted to get a look at him, with all their darker skinned players, its really hard to tell

Im all for signing him, at this stage anyone must be better than Rooney on his own, But I do wonder If he will be the answer this season?
Nice poem, bro.
Sounds a bit like Agüero. Is he anything like him?
There definitely is. Rooney was massively rated at that age, and had shown his potential at the Euros. Plus, I think there's a difference in the type of potential. Rooney's was far more dependable I think than Martial. He was a typically British player with lots of power, aggression, work rate aswel as ability. Martial is the potential that we see go to wasted in lots of players.
Next Henry.
Just watched a YouTube video complete with awful music and based on this and this alone, i approve.
He's more like Henry. A bit too early to tell but his progress is huge. He was a reserve at Monaco in the first half of last season but then he was one of their best players toward the end of the season.
Never heard if him but he can't be any shit than Rooney.
let's hope Woody doesn't feck this up too!!

But what about prem proven?
Yep. "Why didnt we sign him 2 years ago for 30m, now we have to pay double that. We never make these kind of signings".
Has he ever played as a lone striker?
