Anthony Martial

[Johnny J]

He isn't - he's a AM(R).

Despite looking like he has the skillset to be a DM, I think only once has he actually been brought on to play in that role. Fuck knows why he's seen as some sort of wing/wide player, as he is more suited to being a goalkeeper than that.

The reason he's been played on the right is because noone trusts him in the center, and he can do less damage to his own team out there. He doesn't have a position. He can kick the ball and run after it. That's his entire skill set. He's big and strong and fairly quick. But those aren't skills lol

I just had a day dream we signed him tomorrow. If only that would be the case

Thanks for that shitpost.

FWIW, my friend who is united fan says that their ITK claim they would sell to us for 80 mil.

Oh well.

Surely they'd take Toby plus cash, but how much cash would they want, and would Levy pay it?

 

[Deleted member 27995]

No one is going to spend £80 mill on Martial.

 

[ernest_lowrider]

Yeah it's the same I thought as Toby+20 mil seems to be about the same.

On the united side, Levy is supposedly asking 75 mil for Toby, but it comes from less reliable source than Martial info

Levy will get criticised what ever happens today, but I’ve got to say, IMO he’s played this Martial transfer brilliantly.

They wouldn’t sell him to us normally without a insanely high transfer fee but he’s led them along, dangling Toby under their noses.

It will certainly be interesting to see how desperate Utd actually are.

Was 11/2 now 2/1 to join

We'll probably make an offer of Toby plus £20m for Martial right at the death - no idea what the outcome will be, probably won't happen, but I can't see us not at least giving one last push for this deal today.

 

[SpartanSpur]

Martial for £80m in 2018 is probably equivalent to Sissoko for £30m in 2016 right? Right?

Doesn't matter what it is. We're not spending £80m on anyone.

 

[Young Nasty Man]

Gotta believe between the amount of courting and everything there is one more last second offer around noon going out the door.

Levy is a cheeky little too one.

 

[wrd]

I'll be honest, if we aren't putting in a bid of any sort today for Martial and we weren't going for Zaha then I have to wonder what it is Poch actually wants.

I know, I couldn't find the right emoji to explain my tone.

We're not going to get him though mate, so 'playing it brilliantly' might be somewhat of an exaggeration.

 

[AJW]

Can’t see United selling without a replacement and I haven’t seen them linked with anyone

 

[OptimisticPessimist]

The Toby-Martial swap makes so much sense all round. Both clubs end up stronger and with a want-away player off their books.

This is the one transfer i want to happen more than any other. This alone would make it a good window for us. If we can add maybe Grealish and a Sander Berge type prospect then it would be great

Driving me crazy why this isn't happening!!!!

 

[Chimbo!]

If came down to Woodward and Levy, Woodward will blink first every time.

No, neither would blink and they would both end up going blind for messing up their eyes.

@Primativ you are getting coated over on Redcafe. That pining comment was a bit strong mate and has tickled me.
