Martial absolutely, but I don't know about Shaw. At Man U he's either been injured or mediocre, or both. 29 league appearances in 3 years tells it's own story.

I'd rather keep Rose for one more season and then re-evaluate.

If Shaw wasn't such a beast under Poch I'd agree with you. But Shaw and Davies as LBs and Martial in our attacking line up means I wouldn't miss Rose at all.

Seems too much of a coincidence that Rose kicks off and then we bid for Martial.

Certainly looks like a 'if we can have one of your players you can have one of ours' type situations.
However, I would also like to see us bring Shaw in as well otherwise we will be light in FBs on both sides.

If we could pick up that pair for the cost of Danny I'd be happy.

100%

If Rose has kicked up a fuss in hope of forcing a move, and we end up selling for cash alone, we'll look weaker for it, as we can't seem to spend the Walker money.
Now, if we sold Rose for Martial and Shaw, suddenly that looks a calculated bit of business to me, not that we've been forced into selling an unhappy player.

Shaw is part of the deal because we would need a LB. Shaw AND Martial for Rose
Obviously only Shaw for Rose is a no go

Hertyid on COYS re Martial

Martial wants to leave. His agent has been doing the rounds. He wants first team football.
Whether Utd would sell him and whether we could afford his wages is another thing.
to be clear, I have no idea whether the story is true. Just that he is looking for a move.

Jurassic Park!

This could be on like Donkey Kong.

Shaw under Poch is a different beast to Shaw under Mourinho. Injuries, yes, but mismanaged also. Poch has a track record for getting his fullbacks onto another level.
Shaw, Clyne and Chambers at Saints, Walker, Rose, Davies and Trippier with us, all showed vastly improved form under Poch.

Martial and Shaw for Rose
Then Shaw has a great season for us and replaces Rose in the England squad for the world cup.

This feels a bit like last window when we were linked with Isco and ended up with Sissoko. Instead, this year we will try to get Martial but end up with someone like Josh King.

Shaw will be much better for Poch if we can demand him and Martial. Much younger too. Only concern with him is injuries but Rose gets them quite regularly now too.

This and Balde are why the internet is a ****. No one would be any wiser when this doesn't happen but instead, everyone will get their hopes up for a day or two then come crashing down when they realise Utd would never sell a good young player to us. Would love to be wrong but I guess it's all part of the fun during the window!

Two separate deals.

Don't know Martials contract situation but based on what he's done in the Prem so far, he's not a 50 million pound player, albeit he's very talented. But in this market he's still going to be worth a lot and United paid what, 57 million for him?

Rose is the best Left back in the league.
