Anthony Martial and Simon Mignolet headline players who wish they'd moved clubs

http://www.espn.com/soccer/english-premier-league/23/blog/post/3623068/anthony-martial-and-simon-mignolet-headline-players-who-wish-theyd-moved-clubs

The summer transfer window has also officially closed in Europe, but there are 10 notable players stuck in the Premier League who might wish they had found a move. Nick Miller runs down those who will be counting down the days until January.

SNIP

4. Victor Moses, MF, Chelsea

If you suggest footballers deserve sympathy, then you'll frequently get quite short shrift, but sometimes it is worth dwelling on the fragility of their positions. In Antonio Conte's 3-4-3 system, Victor Moses -- previously a fourth-choice winger -- had carved himself a niche as a wing-back and performed very well in that role. Now, with Mauricio Sarri's 4-3-3, he's back to being that winger behind quite a few other players in the queue for a first-team place. Perhaps this will change. After all, who saw him becoming that wing-back in the first place when Conte arrived? But at the moment, that seems optimistic.

3. Tom Heaton, GK, Burnley

Perhaps they were distracted by the early stages of the Europa League, but Burnley's summer didn't seem to make much sense. They didn't make a signing until the last week of the transfer window, and that was to bring in Joe Hart after Nick Pope suffered an injury. That felt a bit like buying a new shirt because a button fell off an old one, particularly as Tom Heaton was returning from his own injury. That leaves Heaton, who might well have gone to the World Cup had he not missed much of last season, in a curious position: seemingly second-choice now and presumably third when Pope returns. It's possible he could seek to leave in January.

2. Simon Mignolet, GK, Liverpool

Plenty of people on Merseyside were relieved when Loris Karius left for Besiktas on loan, not least Karius himself. This was a chance for reinvention and for the young German to rebuild his shattered confidence. But while he might not have suffered the same cataclysmic single game as Karius, one would imagine Simon Mignolet's self-belief can't be sky-high after spending much of last season on the bench -- where he's now likely to stay, unless something happens to Alisson Becker. "I find it bizarre that Karius was loaned while I also had options to be loaned," he said recently. It's going to be a long few months until the winter window opens.

1. Anthony Martial, FW, Manchester United

In some respects, Anthony Martial is lucky because he has become a much better player when out of the Manchester United first team than in it. He has become something of a cause celebre for Mourinho sceptics, a great lost talent cast aside at the whims of one manager despite rarely achieving his clear potential on the pitch. Also, if the stories about him signing a new contract against Mourinho's wishes are true, then this might have worked quite nicely for Martial. But it's still difficult to escape the feeling that he would be much happier somewhere else. One suspects we'll be revisiting this situation again soon.

Hands up who reckons that Eddie will veto Maureens veto and will come out with a nice long contract!

Or do we think that theres any possibility whatsoever that Granny (as we dont have a DOF) is keeping in touch with Martial - OR even said hello to him - and told him it would be good for both of us if he joined us in the Jan sales!?

Yes of course its the 1st choice! We got good strikers already. Well they've got potential

I so hope Sarri and CFC look at Martial and see a striker for us, a Sarriball weapon, and not just a LW that we do not need as long as we have Eden and CHO.

Well apparently we dont need CHO neither. We would prefer to stick Willian on as sub.

MANCHESTER UNITED will NOT sell Anthony Martial because they owe 50 per cent of the profit to Monaco.

They should let him go for free then.  That way they won't have to pay anything to Monaco.  Simples.

If he refuses to renew, they lose him on a free in 9 and a half months, July 1, 2019. If they keep Mourinho, I don't see him renewing. Love to see those Manc twats in a sticky wicket. Best case all around for us is Mo doesn't get the sack and ZZ doesn't come in. That pulls Manure out of the Hazard sweepstakes too.

I was under the impression that there was a club option, for another year.

I suspect that either one of Martial or Jose won't be at Utd at the start of the next season.

The misery is spreading.

According to Sky sources his contact ends this summer we should put in a cheeky bid for him on January

[Fernando 6,456]

United has a one year option extension.

Isn't this guy another one who insists on only playing on the left wing? Don't know how that helps us.

No, he said that he wants to play as a striker because that is the position he used to play in Monaco. Its just that his technique is so good that he can easily play as a left winger
