That could be an answer but the french league isn't an 'easy' league, it's a boring league. Just think about this Ayew, Diafra Sakho, Gomis, Aubameyang, Gomis or Giroud.

Yes Jesus is over 2000 years old and well past his best I'd much rather we spend big on someone for the future then a profet comming to the end of his career.
If we really bid €50m for Martial then surely he wouldn't have played against PSG this evening? I suppose the bid could've been made only after there was no more time to change the starting XI before kick off, but the. That leads to asking ho did RMC get a hold of this info so quickly? Is Martial in the process of contract renegotiations? Probably. Am I i being utterly cynical and pessimistic? Probably.
I will never understand you. Why would you bother racking up 7000+ posts trying to wind up Man Utd fans as a Spurs fan?
It's not like you are a rival club to Man Utd, both in terms of history or size. I can understand Liverpool fans or Arsenal fans to some extent, but a Spurs fan having digs at United supporters is so very strange.
It's just impossible for you to not look ridiculous. I mean go pick a fight with somebody your own size, got to a West Ham forum or something.
Yea I know who he is, just unaware of situation, but thanks.. What does reliable sources mean? There is maybe something in this? I rate Martial highly, given a central role and responsibility, some can surpass their aged expectations
Can't deny he's consistently delivered since his Bethlehem days though, we need someone to make an instant impact.
We are not buying Martial and if we were he seems quite talented.
Apparently the guy and paper breaking this is reliable and usually don't bullshit? And the first to break falcao or something. James ducker also retweeted us bidding for him so I think there may be truth to it.
What did I expect?
I had to.Jesus was nailed on to make it, in fairness. Don't have quite the same faith in Martial.
Jesus is a fighter. Even when everything seems lost he comes back for more.
Really? I don't see the Lewandowski comparison at all. He's not really got the technique or striker instincts of a Lewandowski type, or the link up.
Although it's very cliche to compare him to Thierry Henry, I can see the resemblance. He drifts wide and runs with the ball, his close control is superb and he has lightning pace. While he doesn't have the predatory instinct or finishing ability of Henry, or players such as Samuel Eto'o, George Weah, Andriy Shevchenko or Alexadre Pato, he does show some similarities at that age. It's easy to see how he has played as a winger that could make the transition to no.9.
His youthful naivety and directess, as well as his explosive pace, are his biggest strengths right now. That's a lot of what we're missing and he has so much scope for improvement. He's not at the level that Rooney was when we signed him, and he doesn't have the goal scoring ability of Memphis, but he is a prodigious talent. A risk worth taking even for the prices being quoted.
Panic buy
That's because he has the technique and like Lewandowski at 19 years old, he doesn't have the striker instinct.
French commentators didn't mention once the Man Utd interest in Martial, it doesn't mean much tbh but they're usually rumor whores.
So.. he's basically the French Danny Welbeck? I Feel we are going in circles.
Jesus starred at a time when a lot of the greats got stoned. Superstars are more professional these days
He looks very good in the Valencia vid, I must say - much better than Memphis - but offering big money for an unfinished 19 year old this late in the window, if true, has a whiff of panic about it, and suggests that our summer transfer business has been mismanaged.
Edit: Monaco confirm he's staying.
Never heard of him before. Intense interest in everything about him for half an hour. Can now forget his very existence again.

More like its just a very big price for a young player, so its a bit of a gamble. A hugely promising player though. And our top targets were bale, Muller, lewandowski, fecking neymar, etc... Is it really concerning that players from equally as big clubs who are much better right now then us, dont want to come to us? Its not like we're getting turned down by mid table players besides, we signed schweinsteiger. He definitely wanted to come to us, Memphis turned down Bayern and PSG.
They say he's not going anywhere.
What a mess.
Not at all. 9 goals for a teenager in Ligue 1 is pretty good especially since he often played on the wing. Teenagers are usually not clinical finishers look at how many goals Ronaldo scored at 19.
He could resurrect his career here.
Monaco are also a pretty defensive team, no?
Cocks in or out?
Haven't Monaco ruled it out already?
In case anyone's not seen this. Skip to 1min for actual footage.
Great.
Shot down.

Seems like this is a goer. I can't get excited about this one though just yet. If there's more news tomorrow, I'll watch the Youtube clips
A bit like De Bruyne's "I stay this year" then.
So how much longer before he signs for Chelsea?
A reporter caught the guy off guard when asking the question, I wouldn't read anything into it. De Bruyne said on stage he was going nowhere last week wasn't it? Monaco apparently need to bring some money in to deal with ffp now that they didn't make it into the champions league. I'm sure they'll accept the offer if it's true.They say he's not going anywhere.
Convinced the over inflated fee is to offset the commitment we had on falcao and didn't take up. All kinds of crazy shit goes on we're not aware of. Bebe
36m for an unproven French teenager? the fee's are going absolutely mental. He will hopefully bring some much needed pace to the attack. I cant see where he will fit in though, unless he will sub on for Rooney with 5 minutes to go 
Looks a lot like Depay from the YouTube compilation with more moments on the right, but even then why are we going all out to invest in potential? Surely Pereira is worth a shot on the right?
Pretty much this exact same story word for word came out a couple of weeks ago saying we also bid a huge sum. Nothing ever came of it obviously.
