We're ManchesteROFL United, we do what we want

[6ft Kerplunk]

Cracked under the mental pressure of the YSPOTY nomination.

[Brosef Stalin]

Good goal, but felt the media got a little too carried away.

Didn't Macheda score a gr8 goal on his debut?

Benteke's goal was much better, but MOTD hardly mentioned it. Martial scores a good goal, ad the whole pfucking world goes nuts. And the OTT comparisons to Henry can fcuk off too.

tbf consolation goals rarely get much attention...great finish though.

Will have to see how it works out for the youngster Rooney and Ronaldo are the only two teenagers
I can think of who it has worked out for (big fee in the prem).

Didn't Milner break Rooney's scoring record when he was at Leeds, and his careers has been pretty good. I don't know about fees but he was a younger who had a load of hype and then didn't bottle it like so many do.

[Nameless]

Michael Owen didn't do badly despite a precocious start

Milner has done OK not sure he had huge fees as a teenager

Owen came through the ranks rather than being a teenager with large fee

Will have to wait until Martial plays against a big club to see if he's any good

[Winston Smith]

French media say the Martial fee is €50M up front, €10M if he scores 25 goals in a season in the next 4 years, €10M if he plays for France 25 times in the next 4 years and €10M if he comes in the top 3 of the Ballon d'Or in the next 4 years

[Froomes]

Given the way he's started I'd say all 3 of those have a very realistic chance of happening!

You can certainly see why Chelsea tried to sign him as well this summer

[Brosef Stalin]

think he has 13 in his last 14 league starts (don't quote me on that though)

[LUX]

I had my money on Pepe doing that

[Brosef Stalin]

What a waste of money!



Equals Falcao's tally

[Franchise FC]

Are you somehow saying that the vast quantity if currency spent on Falcao was a waste of money ?

[Brosef Stalin]

nope...

I'm jumping the gun by saying that after scoring 4/4 and playing for all of 120 mins that Martial was worth every penny.

It's my usual rant about people thinking they now the future

De Gea is off and if he isn't he'll be shit...(he's still here and has been his usual brilliant self)
Martial, overpriced....(scores goals)

[genome]

It's almost as if hindsight is a good thing.

[Winston Smith]

Thank f*ck Martial is not English. After a whole 4 games the british media would be sucking each other off over him like a PM and his dead pigs head, they would have printed comparisons between England gr8s and their first 4 games, started listing the countdown to the next tournament in the top corner of each page, will have printed a cut out and keep mask of Martial's face and would have got a picture of him holding up the St George's flag with a headline of 'now is our time!' written below it.

Or summat.

[Brosef Stalin]

So talking shit before the event is ok?

United have been pretty poor in the transfer market and Ed Woodward doesn't appear to be a particularly good negotiator...

The whole De Gea thing is a joke, very unlikely they persuade him to sign a new deal so they have effectively lost him for nothing next summer.

Then they throw £36m at an unproven French kid? Seems like they couldn't care less about wasting money now.

.

They already have a decent stopper in Romero. They get the marginal benefit of De Gea for a season (if his head is in the game) and then lose him for nothing. BriLOLOLiant.

Absolutely this.

Cant see him being totally on it and every error scrutinised.

Man Utd transfer dealings look shocking.

[genome]

They seem perfectly valid comments for the time they were made.

[Ouroboros]

Besides, Martial has a long way to go before he justifies that price tag.

Yes, he looks very decent and I've no reason to think he won't go on to do that.

[Sanguine]

Just opinions m8.

[stealthpapes]

Brosef must have had a field day in mid-May on a few threads in AE.
