There's too many Dembeles in football
Of course we have some limit or budget that we can spend. The club also need to control our financial stuff otherwise we will go bankruptcy.
This feels like Rooney. He will be a United player.
Not me.
If Messi, Neymar and Suarez can work together, why can't Martial, Rashford and Mbappe do the same?
sure he willOh my god, just imagining Martial, Rashford and Mpabbe the interchanging and fluidity would be beautiful.
With Mkhitaryan behind them.
Was tongue in cheek pal.
I highly doubt Mbappe will call Martial and if he does I doubt he'd give a feck what he had to say tbh.Because they are twice the footballers if not 3 times the footballers that martial rash and mbappe are.
Because Martial and Rashford are nothing like Messi and Neymar.. you cant just stick 3 of your best attackers upfront and expect them to play like Barca. Rashford relies a lot on his pace to beat people and neither him nor Martial are particularly good playmakers.
Martial/Rashford/MBappe. The new Tevez/Rooney/Ronaldo...what could go wrong?
Because all three are not even starters in their national sides yet.
Duh!
No one said that they are. All three of Martial, Rashford and Mbappe can play wide or move into the middle. All 3 have great movement when they are allowed freedom, that's why it would work. What they need is creativity and ammunition behind them.
I'm sure they'll be gaining a few more starts for their national team as they gain more experience.
Apologies it's hard to tell sarcasm online, some posters genuinely would ask that question
Sorry for the rebuttal. I thought you were trying to be clever. I am not that delusional to think that Martial, Rashford and Mbappe are anywhere close to Messi, Neymar and Suarez. People keep saying that signing Mbappe would be a detriment to Martial and Rashford's progress which I disagree with. If those 3 superstars can play together without hindrence to the team, why can't our players along with Mbappe do the same. All 3 of them can play through the middle and pull out wide. All 3 of them have great movement and are constantly on the go. It all depends on who is behind them providing the ammunition.
I personally thnk Mbappe will be an absolute superstar in a couple of years, and the time to sign him would be before he goes to Real, Bara, City or Chelsea, not after he has been with them for a few years. If he signs for them and they let him go, then that means he has not reached the heights expected of him, and would not be worth signing anyway. His progress will depend on how hard he is willing to work and his attitude. Rashford looks as if he has his head screwed on right, but I worry about Martial a bit.
Another thing that keeps getting mentioned is his age, but people forget that we had an 18 and 19 year old who played together and saved our season last year. There are a few things that have not gone right with both of them this year, but them being young is not one of them. They have not had the opportunites to play through the middle as much as last year because of Ibra.
If a person calls another person they probably do give a feck what the other person would say.Was tongue in cheek pal.
You don't necessarily need one of the front three to be good playmakers if your midfield provides that. Bale, Ronaldo and Benzema have got barley any playmaking quality in them but it doesn't matter because they've got the best midfield in the world behind.
In Pogba, Mkhitarian, Herrera, Mata and a new signing we could also end up having enough of that behind a young front three.
There's a chance he wouldn't be interested in a move but if that was the case we can assume it wouldn't be because of a phone call to Martial pal. No-one even knows if they're friends for starters.
I'm not being entirely seriously.
I don't think footballers are that influenced by their friends anyway. Money, prestige, chances of success etc. are key.
I keep hearing this argument on here. It's complete BS. Actually watch us play before claiming we have the best midfield in the world(we don't) who provide our strikers the playmaking necessary to get them goals(they don't, unless you consider putting in a million crosses per game great playmaking)
And how is Benzema not a playmaker exactly? He's our best playmaker by far. His problem is consistency. We only play well when he does. Our saving grace is that we have enough individual talent that we can find ways to score, and all of our primary goalscorers(cristiano, bale, benzema, morata, ramos) are terrifying in the air. So we cross a lot, and score a lot from crosses
They do. Playmaking doesn't involve only playing through passes. Getting the crosser into a great position quickly through a quick transition into forward areas is exactly what a great midfield does. You have the best CM in the world in Modric and another excellent one in kroos. How many great midfielders do you want exactly?
Benzema a playmaker. Made me chuckle. When people list the great playmakers, I'm sure they'll talk about Maradona, Messi, Pirlo, Zidane and.... Benzema.
I have. But okay, your midfield is crap.
My point applied across seasons though. You've never had any great playmakers in your front three for ages, and it's not been an issue.
If we're talking about Barca playmakers you'd put Iniesta and Xavi ahead of Messi right? Although perhaps would prove otherwise.

I'd put Messi as the best playmaker in the world personally.
Hmmm id argue neither Martial or rashford are playing well on the wings so keeping them there wouldn't improve our football and that's with one of the best strikers in the world up with them.
Not against just hope we get some proven talent in this year, we have no one in their prime other than mhiki
Because Messi and Neymar are creators by default. Martial, Rashford and Mbappe are all strikers. Individual quality aside, it's still apples and oranges you're comparing.
People in England were aware of this guy way before this season.
He's basically the same player as Rashford in terms of style etc. It'd be curtains for him if Mbappe came imo.
Like this lad but I do wonder sometimes that if Rashford was wearing an Monaco shirt, I'm sure we'd be equally excited about him potentially coming her. We really under rate our players sometimes. I'd sooner we focus on a world class midfielder and Centre back....
He looks class but the money being mentioned is a little insane considering it's his first proper season, in France too. I don't think Monaco are going to sell more than one player to us in the same window, I would prefer to go strengthen midfield with Bakayoko.I like a bit of variation with ages too. Rashford, Martial, Mbappe very similar ages. Like a more mid 20's proven player up front, it could take him a year or two to proper settle. He's a quality talent though, very good to watch
Agreed. Let him develop for another year. Chances are the hype will subside once he's had more time in the spotlight. We should be looking at Fabinho or Mendy.
Our midfield isn't crap. It's not the best in the world and is completely wrong for our forwards. And Benzema is certainly no Zidane, but as far as playmaking attackers go, he's no slouch. You mentioned moving the ball quickly? That's what Benzema does for us. Far more so than Modric or Kroos.
Think it's really unlikely that Monaco will hold into Mbappe for next season. If not us, someone else will nab him.
If the price being quoted for him is true and Monaco insist on it, he'll stay next season. Not even Madrid would pay that fee. Monaco are also not under pressure to sell.
Those deals are structured based on performances so it'd be 40 odd upfront and then a bunch of payments based on performances. Won't be a problem for the big clubs.
I don't see us going for him anyways if we go for Greizmann. Just saying if we want him, we have to move this summer.
