Surly French twat, former overrated footballer and full time ****, Cantona has tweeted that Martial will be worth £100M in a few years and the rags are lapping it up. Good, it will be all the more unpleasant for them when he flops and they sell him for £10M to Sunderland.

Only if he becomes the head of Al Qaida and the CIA put that price on his head.

Anybody else reckon we might yet see Ferguson back in charge after Xmas till the end of the season? Didn't busby do something similar in the early 70's..?

Now that would be funny.

Coming from a man who declared last year that Javier Pastore is the best player in the world...

Considering 99.99% hadn't heard of him yesterday morning, an awful lot of people over on the Caf are putting a very positive spin on the Martial signing!

I look at it like this, if he was any good he would be signing for us.

I really hope we do, because it's too late for him to any sort of impact and it would be the biggest mistake he ever made. Most of the players weren't there when he was, so to them he would just be another van Gaal.

Lol phone in pocket syndrome

6. Real Madrid after signatures Players and Keylor Navas De Gea, sent the English club said contracts signed at 23:32 Spanish time, we await to receive the final documents signed by Manchester United.

I look at it like this, if he was any good he would be signing for us.

If he was any good, City would have enquired about him when selling Lopes to them.
