In one tweet, it says about the ins and outs today: huge downgrade in quality and experience...
Cant agree more if you ask me..
Also, some report also reveals that this A Martial is a liverpool fan.

Post of the day ladies and gentlemen.
This thread was created on Thursday though
Martial wasn't unknown, a lot of the people here would have watched Monaco beat Arsenal at the Emirates last season and Martial played a big role in that game.
Milan is going crazy giving away all their homegrown players. Cristante last season, Mastour and El Shaaraway this season.
So hang on... We've pretty much landed Martial but we've let Januzaj and Hernandez go and now talk of Wilson? So we have one recognised striker who's on bad form and one who's unknown and that's it?
Great business united, great business.

Teaching someone a lesson is a good thing because it means lesson learned, no more mistake, why not? Everything to gain by learning you know that??
Do you get "relatively"?
But you did just what I wanted, you essentially withdrew your "hottest teenager in the world thing". Which is just a silly thing to say and an attempt to rewrite history.
Wasn't Lacazatte dropped this week for being crap?
I hope you collapse.
How many better teenagers are there? It's not like there's a massive pool that I'm picking him out of.
Don't forget we have Felaini.
You recognise Rooney as a striker
I'm clutching to be honest... Just like LVG is with Fellaini. I'm assuming Rooney will drop back and Martial plays up top? Which means no striker on the bench.
Can only assume we've more business still to do.
Max Meyer, Oliver Torres, Munir El Haddadi, Tielemans, Sterling, Mitrovic. All better known than him before that window (Or, let's say, before today). And that's just the offensive guys.
Given they are all 19-20, we don't know which of them might be better in the future, but they are all more viable contenders for "hottest teeanger in europe".
Maybe but I can't see it... A lot of the top countries have their window end tonight which means they can't get anymore in. Honestly I thought the Martial signing was good until I saw the outgoing business today.
You are not a real person surely?
I can quite understand it idk what the board and or management team is thinking they have had some truly talented players coming through and with the dark times there going through its the best time to slot these young players into the first team. The fans would get behind the players because they are "there" players and bringing through some academy players along with some good signings and Milan would be on the right path. Just as an example in the 2012/2013 season Sporting were having the worst season in there history and mid way through the season with the club in shambles and results being very negative many of our B team players got there chances in the first team and became Regulars and results vastly improved. That has continued in the last 2 seasons with positive results mixed with talented players from our academy and some signings. I kind of went off topic but I don't understand the thought behind letting these young talents Milan have leave the club and if the Mastour to Malaga does have 5M option to buy that's a coup . If I was a Milan fan I would be very upset.
Sterling (20/21), Mitrovic (20), Torres (20). Meyer is not better then Martial, Tielemans is a good player, I forgot about him and tbh Munir hasn't had the exposure or regular high level football that Martial has had.
Just 2 months ago signing a PL proven striker with 42 league goals in 88 appearances for £32m was considered a taboo in this very forum.
How times change.

I think his point was that it really doesn't matter who a professional footballer supports (the key is in the word "professional" - i.e. its his job - not his hobby). Loads and loads of players support other rivals teams. Its just not relevant. That's why he gave you such a snotty put-down (which is a little harsh IMO).
Still not talking about "better", because we don't know which one of them will be better. And at this point, Meyer is certainly not worse than Martial and way more proven at an equally high level. By the way, Martial will be 20 soon, too. So, what's the point. 3 months to desperately prove a point?
You overpaid massively on deadline day to get a hot but unproven european prospect and just pray he will become good enough to justify the money. No problem with the revenue you have, but don't try to justify it by inventing a story like he was "the hottest teenager in the world".
You're referring to who there?
We could have signed him at the beginning of the summer for free.........?!?!?!
...no.
Benteke?
It's not even that. Well partly. Have you read the actual article on the link? Surely no real person would get wound up about that.
Right.
So when will this be announced... Need some positivity after the cluster feck with the de gea and januzaj situations
Benteke I'm guessing
Hope he at least speaks English already. Can't be dealing with too much settling in.
Which countries end tonight, could we still buy from them?
Surely need at least 2 more...
Oh, he was still on his old contract when he resigned wirh Monaco this summer. Read this:
"Monaco are departing reluctantly with Martial, who had been the subject of interest from Tottenham Hotspur and signed a contract through to 2019 earlier in the summer."

I've seen a couple of posts from them, and they've obviously stopped the qualification from the newbies is all I can say
