That's in French ^^

Someone's leaked Martial's transfer documents online.

€50m up front, €10m for 25 united goals, €10m for 25 france caps, €10m for Ballon d;Or nomination, 50% of the profit goes to Monaco when they sell him.

So short of a catastrophy for the kid, they're going to pay a minimum of €70m - £54m.

And yet I never hear commentators talk about his transfer fee every 5 minutes, unlike Kevin or Sterling, who have both massively out performed him as well.

Fuckin' yowza! The Monaco chairman needs some sort of award for negotiating that.....oh, and 50% of the sell on. If it's true of course!
 
It was also reported that within a week the rags' bids for Wotsisname went from £21.6m to £28.8m to £36m to £50.4m. A 250% increase in a week for a player Spurs were offered for £18m earlier in the summer and who Rooney had to ask Schneiderlin who he was because he's never heard of him.

It's almost definitely true - Equipe reported exactly this at the time, and the website that is leaking these documents recently has caused a bit of a stir in portugal because they leaked some TPO agreements - so they appear to be legit.

€80m - more than De Bruyne.

But the rag fans and the media are convinced that they've got Henry in-his-prime on their hands. Let's hope not.
 
The rags have won 3 in 12!!
3 in fuckin 12!!
Yet we're getting headlines from the Dutch ponce that they can win the league.
Win the fuckin league??
Exactly which league has he got floating around that massive cranium of his??
Delusional delusional delusional all the way.

At old toilet they have a banner saying

'Heaven sent us Louis Van Gaal'

Whichever supporters club from Colchester or Cornwall that put it up sure were right. He's doing just enough to keep himself in the job compared to what he was facing a month ago. A stuffy win against their so called bitter rivals has got the rag hordes giddy and dreaming of glory, a rivalry that's no more important than Blackburn v Burnley these days when it comes to where the trophies are handed out.

All the chants of Jose Mourinho have vanished for the time being until the next grenade of a crisis explodes. Week by week till May the clock is ticking on the united board pulling the trigger. They will have to do something special to finish above Spurs and Leicester with the way they sleep walk through games and create nothing. When they throw caution to the wind they ship goals against 3rd from bottom.

Us winning the league and them finishing outside top 4 like two seasons ago would be delicious and a very real possibility. Come on city lets kick on from here.
 
Whenever you feel like shit and everything is against you. Just remember it could be worse...you could be a rag.
 
They will still finish in the champions league spots, hanging around in 5th like a fucking bad smell. I really hope that Madrid come in for the doughnut thief before the window closes that would be a nice sharp nail in the coffin!

Hate to mention it but......they are 7 points off top spot, playing shit, not leaking goals and only halfway through the season.............

With a paper thin squad that doesn't score enough as it is. Add to that the toll of at least 4 more midweek Europa league games, possible injuries and tired legs from the oldies and you could read that as 12 points behind plus a few more come the end.

Anyone noticed that Martial just runs into players with the balls and just sometimes gets a lucky bounce?

Yup.
He seems to try and bulldoze his way through defences with his head down. Quite often he'll get a rebound or the ball will fall favourably into his path and he just keeps bundling forward. You can see an example of this with the goal he scored against Liverpool earlier on in the season, which is arguably his most notable individual contribution since arriving.
In his defence he obviously has pace as well as quick feet but he seems to lack a bit of intelligence. I've not really seen anything special about him yet, if he played elsewhere he wouldn't even be on people's radars.
