Marco Verratti | Signed New Deal

He got subbed because he was tired, not because he was shit.

Or maybe because he was 18 years and Ancelotti didn't want to overuse him.

Xavi Hernandez is a big fan of him. He prefers players like him or Dybala rather than Pogba (slightly overrated imho).

"Marco Verratti is an extraordinary footballer," the World Cup winner told reporters in Paris on Wednesday. "He's on a level similar to the best players at Barcelona.

"His game is a bit like the game I played at Barcelona and with the Spanish national team.

"He shines in both the short and long play. He is good with the final pass. He also rarely loses the ball. This is a very high level of player.

"He's showing this at PSG, where he's had some fantastic seasons.

"There are few players as strong as Marco Verratti in midfield. He is currently one of the best in the world."
 
My dream signing alongside Pogba. But obviously isn't going to happen. PSG have no incentive to sell, and the player isn't unsettled.

For this to happen Verratti has to push for PSG to sanction the move (like Ronaldo to Madrid). Unfortunately I don't see why he'd do that considering we're not even in the champions league.

The only thing we have to offer is money, but PSG can also offer that. Not going to happen. At least not this season
 
Would definitely love Veratti over Pogba. He's got everything - absolutely everything you would want from a midfielder.

Actually, he has everything but a good shot on him, which is kind of odd. Which is the opposite of Naingolan who has a wicked shot but not Verratti's consistency on long passes.
 
Yea your definitely a WUM. I'm not arguing that Martial is better than Messi and resorting to petty name calling shows your level of intelligence. I'm not getting into a debate (not an argument) over whos better. Messi is better hands down but to write Martial off before his career has even began is narrow minded. Going by your reasoning all players should give up now as they will never be half the player Messi is.

Ronaldo didn't start his consistency until he was 22-23 so Martial has a couple of years to develop before then. Messi was performing at a high level at that age and I'm not disputing that Messi most likely will be better than Martial can ever be as him and Ronaldo are freaks of the game. But Martial can put in the extra hours of training and become close to it himself, he already displays the calmness and confidence on the ball its all about consistency and maintaining it.

If I'm being really pedantic then Suarez and Bale didn't come from La Liga.
You still don't get it do you? Perhaps I need to be much more clear.
It is not that I don't think Martial won't become a great player, it is just that Messi is just too great of a player. Being half the player Messi is relatively hall of fame status. I am not putting him down, I am just giving you the reality of a quite simple situation. Messi is an ultra mega star who can change the game and instantly elevate the status of any team for a bare minimum of 4-5 years before he finally comes back to earth. Having a guy like him on our team would instantly make players around us better and push us instantly into a CL contending team every single year, especially when we would be adding new pieces to the team. Can you say Martial or any other WC forward at the moment has that level of pull or greatness as Messi does? No you can't.
 
Coman had a better season than martial?!?!?!? What? No player around the same age had a better season than martial unless you mean trophywise. Martial had the better statistics when you compare both players. Martial was miles more efficient. Martial is levels above coman right now. Usually when people want to say something nice about this coman fella they refer to the famous juventus game. I watched that game and although he provided the spark to beat Juventus he was bang average. I remember him trying to always cut to the right repeatedly without any success. It's like thats the only thing he can think of when faced with the opportunity to be creative. I don't want to dwell to much given this sia verratti thread but you guys seriously need to hop off this coma bandwagon. He might have potential but he is seriously feeding off the good efforts of his teammates. The only thing he has going for him which I admire is his explosiveness and directness on the ball which martial sometime lacks.

Coman made an impact in the Champions League. Martial did not.

It's okay to admit you've not watched Coman much, if at all.. because it's abundantly clear by your post.

A separate thread has been created to keep this crap out of here. Use it.
 
Is there any chance of this happening? Probably the best player in his position in the right age.

It really irks me when people say he did well in this part blah blah blah. What happened to the whole aspect of the game? Is champions league the only games he took part in? I've watched him in countless games where bayern just hold onto so much possession and win 2-0 at the end. he does the exact same thing which I mentioned in my earlier post. He is a good player but is not on martial level. It also isn't fair on martials part given he did well in the chamions league but his teammates fell way short. if you're going to compare performances why don't you use the whole picture if he is so good. Martial was notable in all competitions he played in and left his mark.
 
We made an approach but...



Bouhafsi is as good as a club statement, at least it shows we're going all out for a top class CM. Can imagine us being all over Kroos if Madrid get Pogba.

Yeah I saw that as well and basically no movement afterwards. He has got long contract as well I think.

They should get the same message when trying to contact martial. Teams like pSG really think they are good fit for the best players. No matter how much money they have they will never get rid of the fact they belong to the Ligue 1. A ligue not even in the top 5. In 5 years time they will soon realize they went shopping in the wrong league.

Martial scored 2 goals in 6 CL games, both of which were very important goals for United. It's not really his fault the rest of his team let him down and he couldn't play past the group stage.
 
Would Verratti be the smallest ever centre mid to play in the Premiership? He's 5'5" and 9 stone. Smaller even than Leon Britton, the lads tiny which makes his ability all the more impressive.
 
I could see him pushing for a move. French league is a joke, and its Man United. Even if we've been shit for a few years, it's a step up.
 


We couldn't get the ball off him.

Must admit I havent seen much of this fella, just heard of his reputation.

If this is one of his better performances theres no way he worth 60million.

Saying that though he'd get a game at Utd. Is he still at an age where he could improve or is he the finished article?

Juninho Paulista was great at Middlesboro and was only 5'6" (runner-up for FWA PoTY behind Gianfranco Zola (also 5'6") in '97) - so not far off.

Kroos seems like exactly the midfielder Mourinho will sign, love for 12-18 months as he has him highly motivated before his level drops and the pair fall out.
 
Of all the players we have been linked to.. he's the real deal without any doubt.

Verratti Song

 
I find him the most impressive young CM in the game, but I'd like to see him move to a better league. Not only is Ligue 1 well behind La Liga, the PL and the Bundesliga, it's far more uncompetitive at the top than any of them too.
 
Rewind back to before the Pogba rumors even started, who would we have thought as the more difficult/unbelievable getouttahere- transfer? Veratti or Pogba?
 
He's far too injury prone. Staying whefe he is until he sorts that out is the smart play imo.
 
Rewind back to before the Pogba rumors even started, who would we have thought as the more difficult/unbelievable getouttahere- transfer? Veratti or Pogba?
Considering where he is, easily Verratti. It's not possible to take a player from PSG unless they specifically want to get rid of him.

Verratti. The rumours of Pogba moving away from Juve have always been strong. Plus he comes across as the flashy type. Granted, I know little about Veratti's personality. And then there's PSG's wealth.

Verratti, always.

Verratti. He's content there, and PSG are rich.

I never thought we could get Veratti. I never thought even Madrid could get Veratti.

The PSG president called him untouchable, the symbol of the club, and he doesnt need anyones money. Dare I say, they would easily refuse 200 mil for him.
 
Verratti is the better player but he's been a bit injury prone the last year.
 
I actually like the "feck you" attitude PSG got against the likes of RM and Barca when they try to tap up their players.

How any top player can be content with playing in the French league is a mystery though. I could understand it if they paid Chinese league wages like 500k + \ week, but that is hardly the case.
