There were reports at the beginning of the season that Inter were happy to let Martinez go to help with the financial situation.
Lautaro Martinez
- Thread starter MrSingh2002
- Start date
Whats better than 1 Martinez? 2 Martinez. Makes this an obvious transfer.
Then we can get Martinez from Villa and with 3 of them nobody would have a chance.

Interesting. A top striker would improve us massively.
Would people prefer this chap or João Felix? Not seen much at all of Martinez, but João Felix looks like he has the potential to be elite. Both would cost a bomb.
I'd prefer this chap by no reason other than simply not liking felix that much.
Different players anyway .
I can’t base my opinion on anything more than Felix being a slightly cooler name than Lautaro, but if you are still interested in it (my opinion), I guess I feel sorry for you, son.
Btw I’m also taking more of a liking to the Martinez name by the day.
He wouldn't jump at the chance. He is very well settled in Italy and don't want to move.
I guess that's his choice. United over Inter anyday though.
Glad we have such definitive insider knowledge here!
3 Martinez, 3 Anthony’s
Out of the 2, I’d prefer Martinez. I think he’d be brilliant and much more suited to how we’d want to play. He has the intensity and aggression to his game to back up his technical ability. He’d be a dream signing for me and someone who can establish himself as one of the worlds best strikers.
I’d love Felix too if Martinez wasn’t an option but I’d say Martinez would suit that number 9 role better.
I’m always wary when players come out with comments like these. There’s no smoke without fire.
Been in very good form he looks sharper then games I've observed him in previously
To me the opposite.
He’s one of those players who fall in love with Italy and lack the motivation to challenge at the top level.
Martinez plays best off a striker but he can absolutely play as a striker. Feel like he is a hard worker, feisty.
Felix on the other hand is not a striker/no.9 at this time. More of 9.5
Midget FC.
Give them Ronaldo in January plus cash ! Imagine people prefer him to gapko?
1 Martinez, 2 Martinez...es?
Martinezzi? Martinezae?
Martinezzi? Martinezae?
Harsh, Lautaro is a cooler name than Joao. It's 50-50 between Martinez and Felix.
He's been telling the world how much he loves Inter for ages, can't see how we'd get a motivated player if he's practically forced to leave - I'm sure this post will get a few "Di Maria vibes".
I put him in the same category as Dybala, decent player but is happy in Italy, which isn't really a bad thing, not everyone would give up Milan for Manchester.

Joao has more Wow!
But is not really a striker
Get him in, he's angry looking enough to be part of this angry team ETH is building.
Not enough syllables and consonants to chant/scream.
He's a very good all-round forward, with a very accurate dribbling, but he's a bit liable when defending. Everytime I see him pressing or cutting passing lanes he seems completely lost at times.
Really? I haven't seen much of him but always assumed he's a pressing animal like Tevez.
He's not lazy. He actually makes an effort, but he just don't seem to do it effectively IMHO. I could just have seen him in a bad day, though.
This guy has made Nunez look like prime Van Basten by comparison so far in this WC. We need to avoid him like the plague.
An atrocity.
He's absolutely wank isn't he?
Strikers ain’t no hat they use to be.
I mean this guy is Palacio level pretending to be Tevez.

Some ridiculous takes these last comments and it clearly indicates you haven't watched him outside of these 4 games. "Absolute wank" and "avoid him like the plague" 
You don't suddenly turn to shit after four bad games. Even Agüero had a shit world cup for Argentina.

He's much better than what he's showed at the WC. He needs to play with a target man up top. He cannot be that guy. Too many people write off players without a bit of common sense and understanding of the reasons. Knee jerk world

Yeah his all round game is better than what he's shown so far and he's a modern pressing forward but I've always felt he misses too many chances for the positions he gets into (said as much 18 months back on pages 1 and 3) and this World cup certainly isn't changing that narrative.

Compared to the ridiculous opening post in this thread, these comments are nothing.
He's not much better player than Džeko. I'm not speaking of prime Džeko. He can't lead the line, and he's not good enough as a creator or whatever you may expect of your other forward.
Unless United wants to play 3 at the back, two up top or something like that, he would be useless.
I guess he could improve in some aspects of his game, but he's 25, it's not like there is going to be some megajump from him. United can find better striker.

I wouldn’t judge him on his WC form, but I also have never really fancied him at Utd either, especially for the money he would cost.
