he better fuck off from rags soon or moaninho would destroy his career. As someone said, Josephina always screw some players in whatever team he manages, pretty much for some mysterious reason and it looks Martial is the one at Rags.
He is talented younf player but moaninho is strangling him to death.

Guess Pep would be happy to train him. Great player in a wrong team.
Do you genuinely believe that Martial is a 'great player'
Is Martial a clinical #9 type that we are looking for though? Seems more like a tricky hybrid forward.
He's not. We have Sane around his positions, not something we need imo.

Pep doesn't like pure 9s, only hybrid ones - dribbling, drifting to wings, falling deeper.Is Martial a clinical #9 type that we are looking for though? Seems more like a tricky hybrid forward.

He's a serious talent, think Pep could do something with him, it's 'his' type of hybrid forward, just like Mbappe. I like him much more than Rashford.Do you genuinely believe that Martial is a 'great player'

If we don't get Sanchez or MmmBop, I imagine Aubameyang would be considered.
Only three players scored more goals (in Europe) last year. Although it's not always wise to go off stats alone, granted.
Dzeko was in the top ten last season, after all, as was Bas Dost, whose's highest profile links are with Newcastle and West Ham.

Similar players, up to personal opinion who's better though. But both are talented and could do with some better manager and club.
Martial is getting his career ruined completely at the moment though.

I also doubt that he reckoned the squad he trained at Bayern as perfect. Don't think Guardiola is going to play with a pure 9 having unlimited resources and freedom of choice, it contradicts his basic approach to attack. Even Mandzukic was forced to drift to wings under him.I doubt he hated lewandowski.

Agree, matter of taste. I like Martial's ball control first and foremost.Similar players, up to personal opinion who's better though. But both are talented and could do with some better manager and club.

He's wrong then imo. He won't replicate Barcelona ever again and there are no many clinical AM's and wingers out there. Creativity is great but on the end of the attack you need someone who is used at putting it into the net.

That's why he's got Jesus and is pursuing Alexis and Mbappe - all are hybrid forwards/wingers that can interchange and eliminate any reference points for the opposition. All are clinical.He's wrong then imo. He won't replicate Barcelona ever again and there are no many clinical AM's and wingers out there. Creativity is great but on the end of the attack you need someone who is used at putting it into the net.
And you're spot on - there's no many alternatives for the above mentioned.

What's the point, he'd have been on the bench forever. Might as well keep Bony.I would have taken Andre Gray for 18m if her was prepared to be on the bench the majority of the time.
