Him and Khvicha are brilliant to watch together.

Whats his all timeCL stats?
What you expect of him and what he has actually done are two different things.
Weird how opinions can vary because Martial is very good at that IMO. We just don't get to see it enough because he's either out of form or injured. He's great with Rashford and Shaw and was great with Pogba too.
Is English not your first language?!
By "very rare" I mean that there are hardly any players out there as good at it as him. It's a rare talent!
Hence why I also asked if anyone could think of any other strikers with such ability - because they're not common and I'm struggling to think of some.
Players being not that good at linking up play in tight areas is obviously more common / less rare.
And now I've had to waste one of my limited posts per day having to clarify what should be this self-explanatory point to you.
Ohhhh no, apologies, I just misread it as saying he does it rarely. Comprehension fail on my part. Glad we're in agreement on that facet of Martial's game.
He probably misread what you wroteProbably a BREXIT Radcliffe fan here!
Always though Jonathan David plays quite similar to him.
I'd be happy, more than happy, to bring him in instead of Osimhen and let Rashy play up top permanately
have Kvaradona, Antony, Sancho and Kudus as our wing options with Rashford up top....Martial to back up Rashford. That would be the best attacking group in world football on one team.
The lad is inevitable, put Napoli up on Frankfurt just now
He’s just incredible off the ball. Unbelievable pace and running power.
He and Rashford together would scare every defence in the world.
We have to get it done.
His and that Georgian fella's price tags will be through the roof after all is said and done.
He's used his pace and strength well today.
Muani also looks a real handful, giving Kim a lot of problems.

He’s going to be ours
Yeah he looks a very interesting player.
Too obvious for us to get him. Only will happen with a change of owners.
Tracking, pondering, observing, analysing, monitoring… the United way
Would be fantastic here
I think you just don't understand what carrying is. It has a specific definition that involves progressing the ball towards goal while running and Antony is objectively good at it whether he eventually loses it (which he seldom does) or whether he turns back as you say. There's value in it because it disrupts the opposition and moves you up the pitch into more valuable areas. You're talking about dribbling/take ons which involves beating your marker which Antony is just about average at since he moved to the EPL.
Bruno to Osimhen would be very similar to KDB Haaland in terms of output if it happened
He's going to be Chelsea's. We can't compete with their spending power, and Napoli will demand some completely insane fee anyway. They don't need to sell him, so it's going to be an Antony & Ajax situation. We need a CM as well. Unfortunate, because he looks world class, if he can stay out of injuries.
If you're a team with a feckload of money and a need for a striker, he should be your first choice this summer. If you can't get him you move on, but you should be trying to get him.
Eats up the ground like Haaland.
What a clown. You react like that and come at me for my "football opinions" when you're spouting shite like this. Thank god you're on limited posts. "Rare talent"
Re Osimhen, it's mad how quickly opinions have changed of him. Just go back to the first page for a little taste of previous opinions.
I'm still on the fence with Osimhen, especially for the likely fee - he's absolutely rapid but seems reliant on service. I've not yet seen him offer too much else beyond finishing. His pace may not be as useful against PL defences parking the bus.
Today he also seemed to forget a couple of times what the offside rule was in his eagerness to try and score, but I guess that can at least in theory be coached in to him.
I said specifically that Martial's link-up play in tight areas is a rare talent - and it is.
If it's not then name some strikers who are better at it than him?!

I mean, is it really mad? This is Osimhen's first top quality season. I think he had some annoying injuries in previous years and such that could explain it but he wasn't always like this.
Reminds me of Salah exploding in 2017/18 while looking like your average pace merchant at Roma.
Not really that mad. He's finally having a season without major disruption and he's flourishing. He's scored a crazy amount of goals this season of all types. We only saw it in patches before now. H
AyeThat went well
I thought it was pretty harsh mindI don't think he's on different level this season than he was last season before the injury. He gets the universal recognition now because our link with him, and Napoli is currently one of most in form teams in Europe with him being their top scorer.
Many people previously didn't watch Serie A, and based their opinion on highlight which he's not a silky supreme technical player. They don't recognize the less flashy thing like work rate, athleticism, aerial ability without watching games.

I watched quite a bit of Serie A highlights last season and I thought Osimhen was very good. Granted I only ever watch the 3 minute YouTube highlights with Napoli, but whenever he has goal contributions be that a goal or an assist, often they're not easy. People also say he doesn't have great link up, yes it's not Kane or Martial level but I've seen him create some very good chances and goals. I think you can accept the lower link up ability in return for the extra goal scoring threat.
Yeah that Georgian player is a right baller,however where would he fit into Erik's system
Nice goal....but the majority of the work for that goal is on the winger who played in a magnificent ball
