So... SSN have just whipped out their trusted Football Manager Statistics to compare Wilson to Martial.
Turns out Wilson had the superior stats. What the feck?!

Manchester United Sign Anthony Martial!

Stop been so negative!!!!!! with advances in medical science their is a chance he may not die!
Not really we have both and Wilson will come good but people have to be patient.
But you said the comparisons were far fetched. Maybe they will be, but it's impossuble to know right now. A lot of people in France are saying he's actually more advanced than Henry at the same age. Again, no guarentee obviously about how he will turn out but there's no reason for people to be so pessimistic for the sake of it (not saying yourself)
That's because the speed of these clips have been altered. Looks ok+ ish. His playing style reminds me of Welbeck.
I would like to see Van Gaal try that.

yeah i just watched that.... is it BS? from what i remember about football manager it wasn't that accurate! but then ive seen monaco play and didn't notice Martial even existed so so saying wilson has better stats ant that far fetched ..... i dunno some one must think he is very special to pay this kind of cash.... all seems a tiny bit odd.
Paying £38m for a donkey on ice? FFS.
BS? It's football manager stats.
Some people think he won't even play this season?
If you're not sure what this lad is about, please watch this video. I did, and instantly felt a lot better...
The kid looks quality.
hmm looks like the old Anderson, Nani and Depay videos.
Mean nothing to me (playing against such shite defenders) until he does a move or two in the PL IMHO.
im not sure if your been sarcastic lol....
That's Valencia he's playing against
I had never heard of this kid prior to a couple of days ago. Big money transfer...hope he doesn't feel that pressure. May he be as good as some say he could become! Best of luck and welcome to Manchester United!
You do realise that video is from one single game, against Valencia, who finished 4th in La Liga last season?
Has he scored yet?
Also, have the details about the extra clauses been announced?
I heard the Ballon D'or one, which obviously, if it happens means the transfer is a success at least

Looks raw. Can beat a player, has pace (something we really lack), and has an eye for a pass. Based purely on that 6min clip of course...
Nah, even from that video you can tell he's more direct and more skilful than Welbeck. Probably much quicker too.
looks like a hybrid between Zaha and Welbeck.
Not much in those clips to justify the hefty sum imo, but feck it.
Good luck to him and hopefully he is up to the challenge.

According to RMC...
Which works out at roughly 21 million upfront + 4 payments once a year of 3.6 million + add ons

Just watched the video. It does fill me with confidence, especially considering its not a highlights reel, and everything done in a single match.
I just LVG lets him play that way. Since Depay has come, he seems different from what I saw at PSV. Obviously the opposition is better in the Prem, buts it's a lot more short balls and keeping it out on the wings, rather than picking the ball up and attacking inside
Thanks, that doesn't actually seem that bad of a deal really.
The add ons are worth paying if they work out so I'm actually happy with that deal
Since today
Good luck to the kid.
A goal against Liverpool would be a great start.

Welbeck and Ronaldo the fat one
Seems really powerful according to the videos posted
Where is he gonna play for us? Right up top with Rooney behind? Or possibly right wing? and will he even start? Be interesting to see how much of a role van gaal sees martial having this season.
When I saw the Valencia video last night it made me think we weren't wasting our money. Second time round it's even more impressive.
It's just that the boy is so young you can't expect too much too soon. But if we're to challenge this season we need him to make an immediate impact. I wish we hadn't left ourselves so short up front.

I certainly hope they don't look like that in 8 years, in real life.For reference, this is what they look like after a few seasons:
Contracted to Sevilla/Arsenal, ick...
Looked very good against Arsenal last season, that is honestly the only time I have seen him in full.
A lot for a 19 year old who I haven't heard being named as one of the best youngsters in the world before 2 days ago, but he looks fast and silky, and any excuse to get rid of Rooney from the #9 position.

Seems to enjoy that inside-left channel where Henry used to thrive.
I actually thought people were joking when they said that SSN were actually using Football Manager stats as a method of analysis on players. Do they possess no shame? Was it tounge-in cheek or were they actually taking it seriously?
They take it seriously, no joke.
It's actually cringe worthy. I mean, I get that its quite an accurate game as such, but for one, they are using last years stats as well.
Whilst a goal against pool would be great for the lad ive also got to think, what happens if Pool beat us. After Swansea, after the De Gea mess, after everything. Cant see thay going down at all well. Lets prey we beat em aye lads.
Oh deary me. That is well and truly amazing.
Is there an interview video with LVG yet?
Who knows what will happen but I'm pretty confident.....very confident actually that Martial will be a big, big player for us and will make his mark in world football at the least. I can see Wilson doing ok at a low-mid table club or in the championship. We'll see what happens but I am certain that Martial has a considerable amount more potential.
