Everyone how desperate we are for a striker so I can only see us being fleeced big time!
Ya we are going to get fleeced for whoever we sign at this stage but so what, bottom line is we need the talent more than the money so bring it I say.
What self respecting player wouldn't leave a club who was actively trying to buy his replacement while asking him to leave? :/
This Martial deal seems like something that will get done, Monaco seem willing to sell as long as the price is right. Since our net spend is basically even for the summer we can spend a pretty good amount on this deal, which i'm sure Monaco know.
What's the deal with Martial, then, is he really that much of a prospect?
50-55m euro is 36-40m pound, after inflation, that's about what we paid for Rooney back in the day, is he on that(young Rooney) level?

Every team around should make players available. We dont mind get rinsed on deadline day.
Come get your monies!

Agreed! But it comes down to many factors. Perhaps his family are bedded in in Spain and don't want to leave. He's probably prepared to stay and play hardball.
However good he is, atm, I really cant see him improving us, just yet. Unless, hes Ronaldo or Messi level, in which case, why is no one else after him?
No way. But prices have gone up a lot since then. And we're dealing with Monaco who really don't need the money. Plus, they know we're desperate.
Interesting opinion. Don't disagree though his attitude maybe a issue. (Having said that not seen much of Martial.)
Marco Icardi is not even worth €10m nevermind 50, highly overrated because he was the best of a bad bunch of Inter Milan players last season
I'm not going to claim our scoring record is great but we aren't the lowest in the league...
Gary Neville put it perfectly three years ago.
To think during 2009-2012 United were getting slammed for the way things were run, for doing exactly the opposite of deadline day drama.
He also said appointing David Moyes was bringing sanity back to football. He is, at times, a mental.
Pedro, Otamendi, Benteke. Quality, attainable players that were available and would have improved us immeasurably but having a fecking galactico chasing numpty like Woodward in charge has left us in this shit heap.
To be fair we regularly signed players very late in the summer window under SAF as well.
Van Persie, Berbatov, Tevez, Rooney, Ronaldo, Yorke.
I'm talking about that particular period. The lack of drama in the transfer market late on meant fans slated the club and the glazers.
We're joint lowest iirc. We have scored two goals. The third was an own goal.
Oooh, Benteke for £32.5m or Martial for £37m? What says the caf?
Also Darmian, Schneiderlin, Schweinsteiger and Depay were all lauded at the time and can have no complaints about so far.
Yeah fair enough, i was actually referring to the tweet more than anything.
Yeah that's true aswell. Neville is talking crap a little.
Januzaj?
Sounds like nonsense. You'd think the journos were in the room where negotiations are taking place.
Rather they took Pereira, we'll need Januzaj IMO
Or Perreira.
They'll need a striker as per what French supporters were saying. Give them Wilson Maybe ?
I think they might want Cheech though.

Either Monaco or Martial' camp are leaking. Though obviously might not be 100% accurate.
I doubt any one is leaking other than that there is interest from United (which we obviously don't know either).
60m plus a player on loan? feck me, sounds ridiculous. If it was more established player, like Lacazette, ok. But for this Martial fella? Not my money, but talk about getting fleeced...
