Given the current market you can't blame them. When he left Monaco he was their Mbappe. Watching Sig go for 45makes him a 70-90m player maybe more in this market given age.

Indeed. We were probably asking for £60m for Dier etc.

Sounds like there is a deal to be done, wether we are the ones to make that deal is another matter.

So he is for sale then.
There is no player that in theory isn't for sale for the right amount of money. Just that the "right amount of money" might move from insane (where it often is right now) to absolutely completely insane raised to the power of infinity minus one.

"Beyond reason". Who's reason is the benchmark, I wonder.

There is no player that in theory isn't for sale for the right amount of money. Just that the "right amount of money" might move from insane (where it often is right now) to absolutely completely insane raised to the power of infinity minus one.
There is a void between "you can have him for GBP X", and "not at all for sale regardless".

Just me guessing but perhaps it is not purely financial, that makes it beyond reasonable?

Being the hopeful little trooper that I am I'm going to say that at least it appears that he is available, even if it is a bit of a high price at this stage. It doesn't help that he's come off the bench and scored in both of the first two games as the fans would be loathe to see him leave I'd imagine.

Fact remains though that there are strong rumours of no relationship between him and Jose and Rashford is the one getting the starts.

There's just under 2 weeks of the window left. Martial is the one player I want and I would forsake all other incomings if it meant that we got him.

Beyond that, are we aware of any other similar players that might be a backup option to AM? For me Sessegnon is too young to be that backup option.

Quotes from Jose on Martial:

"Mourinho: "Honestly I think if he (Rashford) was on the bench and if he came on in the last 15 minutes, when the space was there, I think he would do the same as the other guys.”

Definitely think Mourinho would let Martial go if the offer was right. However whether he'd sell to us is a different question entirely.

Wow......he's basically belittling Martial. Tells you all you need to know about their relationship.
