It would be immensely stupid by Jose. Up there with Moyes passing on Thiago, signing only Fellaini for more than his release clause and giving Rooney that contract. I'd be seriously peeved.
Ivan Perisic

Most infuriating saga so far this window. We seem so hell bent in getting Perisic according to the media that it looks like we aren't considering any other options. I really hope that isn't the case.
The most annoying thing from all this is hearing supporters say that Mourinho wants him so that we can cross in the box more often. He will also suit Lukakus style of play or that Mourinho likes a hard worker, thus not going for other talented wingers/attackers out there.
I really hope all of the above is nonsense and we will target better acquisitions.

Martial is worth more than Ivan Perisic.
I've backed Mourinho completely since he's been our maanger, but if any deal with Inter with Martial involved is negotiated I'll easily hop off it.
What a joke. Martial himself would fetch at least 40 million if he has a half good season, probably 30+ atm still.
Their basically valuing perisic at around 60 million-70 million pounds. They need to feck right off.

Time to move on If Martial is what Inter are asking.....
Surely someone like Dembele, Sanchez etc are next on the list? Or does Jose want a very direct winger?

It would be a textbook suicidal move to include Martial in any way.
Dembele is the best option available, but his price tag will be a problem, reportedly 90m. We made already a 75m transfer this summer and we still need a midfielder.
My suggestion is to postpone the winger deal now and focus on getting a DMF as it's a much biggerr priority and we're very short in this position. We can search for a winger later or maybe Martial can rediscover his form with Rashford as a replacement.

Martial is worth twice what Perisic is worth, so Inter can feck off. No idea why we are persuing this guy in the first place. I will be seriously pissed off if we lose Martial to get this nobody.
Honestly hope we just get someone else so this whole sorry shit-saga can end. If they're so determined not to sell then look elsewhere.

Don't think Mourinho agrees with you. And after A.Pereira's performances, even less.
On the contrary when he said in the first presser he wants at least one other signing to give us depth it gets interpreted directly in my mind that this signing is the DMF, as we only have Herrera and Carrick in this position who are proven, and tbh with you, I can't see Jose trusting Pereira for this position based on a preseason game only, me neither. I'll only evaluate Pereira fair and square in such a position when I see him doing well in a competitive game in EPL.
I would be ok with a straight swap for Martial if he is so integral to Jose's plans. In terms of money United has already put on the table for Perisic, that is equivalent to what Martial is worth today.
We should have pulled out of this deal ages ago. Exactly what we did to Madrid in the morata deal.
It makes me wonder who the plan B/C are and why we haven't moved for them.

I get where you are coming from, but to even consider swapping a player with martials potential for Perisic is madness to me.
This isn't bale, reus or hazard....its Perisic.
Everything can be negotiated. Maybe we build in a sell-on fee, or buy-back clause, or send him on a 2 year loan.
Then someone should negotiate something where we aren't the losers
That would be an absolutely terrible deal on our part.
All these clubs inquiring of Martial says a lot about how clubs perceive his prospects under Jose. Would be an absolute joke if anything like this came to fruition.
Who are the other options?
You seriously overrate Martial if comparing to Bale or Hazard. If we could swap him for either of those two we would do so instantly. Problem ia that Chelsea and Real would just laugh at the idea.
This is a make or break season for Martial at Unitied.
Or they simply view him as the most talented young player on our team and thus want him.
Cant be bothered by this transfer any more.
The real question is " why the hell dont we have alternative options ? "
50m for 28 year old winger. Just add 20m more and get someone world class instead or break the bank for fecking Neymar

If Perisic is the only out and out winger option and we can't get him then 3-5-2 should be a genuine option. It would help Martial and Rashford out because both would get a lot of playing time and I don't think they're ready to lead the line alone consistently yet.

Please. No club wants Perisic and I'm not sure Jose wants either.
He was certainly that after the 2015/16 season and you didn't hear much about clubs like Sevilla/Roma/Inter being in for him.
The rumors just keep getting worse
We should have moved away from this long time ago,no way we are including Martial in this deal.Now my worry is with available alternatives,is there anything from Jose's list?
That's because they knew they had no chance of getting him then. How were we ever gonna sell or even loan a young player we bought for big money when that player had just ended the season as our best outfield player? No chance!
i think we've likely moved on from perisic after rejecting 50m. I can only hope the next player on the list was not a significant level down from perisic.
If we fall back onto Martial, he has a lot of work to do to get up to Jose's level. Awful stats last year.

Most top wingers aren't available and the ones that reportedly are moving like Neymar or Sanchez are probably impossible for us and even then are more like wide forwards. There are players like Felipe Anderson or Thomas Lemar who may be options but they're not the same profile player as Perisic. I've been very critical of Perisic and I still believe he isn't good enough, but there aren't many great wide players we can target which is a shame.
I'm not saying that martial is at their level, I'm saying he has the potential to, while Perisic is nowhere near the level of an elite winger.
This is a make or break season for Martial and I'm backing him to make it.
Martial + 50£ and we have a deal!
we're already on plan C/D with Perisic, otherwise this whole debacle is fecking ridiculous. Neymar, Ronaldo, Bale, Perisic.
I think Griezzmann was definitely plan A
mourinho will do the same mistake with kevin de bruyne and romero lukaku if he let martial go!! I hope woodward understand this and just padi 49 million pounds for perisic
And it's for a worse player by distance...
Martial is going nowhere. Loan maybe, but not likely either.
Who is this mysterious world class player that we can sign by paying an extra 20m? I keep hearing this but no one actually gives a realistic name. It's either Neymar, Sanchez or Bale and none of them are currently available.
What mistake? Letting those players go and bringing in superior players who win him the title? I'd be okay with that
Mourinho's inability or unwillingness to consider other wingers has truly fecked us over on this one because Inter have smelled our desperation and are now extracting their pound of flesh. The onus is now on Woodward to tell Mourinho that this can't happen and work with what you have because even considering this is foolishness -swapping a 22 year old with Martial's potential for a journeyman like Perisic is outrageously incompetent. If Mourinho insists on this at these terms then I can't see him lasting another fifteen months never mind fifteen years!
