Pizy 18,996 Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Trying to think where he'd even play in United's first XI. Apparently he's not really a pure #9?Paying a load of money for potential is one thing. Paying a load of money for potential and a player without a set position is dangerous. Hope he busts and busts hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Skipper 20,609 Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 He's a very exciting prospect. Reminds me a lot of Henry. Way too pricey though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stats 7,158 Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Well the price is a lot but when you think of the price for other talents who are older than him, like Stones for over £30m etc it is not that ludicrous. Like Skipper said, he is a lot like Henry when he was placing. Bundles of pace, excellent strength and balance, excellent dribbling ability and is very good out wide or up front. That being said I don't think he will improve them straight away but he has got loads of talent and potential. He completely ripped apart Arsenal last season and they could not handle his pace, power and dribbling ability.A lot of money but I would rather spend big money on a young attacker than a young defender. Time will tell but he has the potential to be a star player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nearly £60m for a 19 year old from the French league who had just a decent season last year. That's utter madness! For that price you'd expect a striker on Agüero's level or someone who is 100% certain to become world class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is nearly £60m like some people say which I struggle to believe then that is too much but I guess we have to wait till he joins to find out the full details of the transfe.r Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope he busts and busts hard. Pure 9s are overrated, the best strikers in the world are Suarez, aguero, Benz, Ibra, etc.Multi dimensional strikers are in and more coveted.Anyway if some Chelsea fans could justify the shit money we were throwing at Everton not sure how it is any different in this case. Martial is a much better prospect, and united will have a Aguero/Suarez 2.0 in a couple season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jase 43,479 Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Van Gaal and Ed Woodward don't have a clue on what they're doing, do they? United have become something of an embarrassment since Fergie retired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I consider Ibra, Costa, and Benzema pure #9's. They're very mobile, yes, but their primary position is the point of the sword. This Martial kid seems more like Remy who can play out wide or behind another striker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
