Farewell Tony

Confirmation as we all know it of Tony’s departure from the club, he’s made a farewell video for us all.

I’ll miss those black gloves and I’ll never forget that goal against Everton in the FA Cup semi final. Good luck Tony.

I am hoping we get a world class striker next season like Kane.

We would struggle to get Watkins, Isak, Kudus, let alone a world class CF.

Why's that

The cost, for 1.

If you go back through the highlight reels of some of our best performances since the LVG years, Martial is usually involved somewhere.

Sadly he is made of the same stuff as Jones and Mount so is no use to anyone long term.

This. Quality player who couldn't fit enough to build on his good seasons.

I'd like to see us try to sign a CF who possesses some of the attributes that players like Martial bring in terms on their ability to handle the ball, hold it up, link up with other and help connect and link with the wider attackers allowing them to get closer to goal. It would be a nice alternative to what Hojlund brings and give us some diversity to the position.

Good riddance to bad rubbish. Nowhere near good enough for us.

Finally. Next up Antony & AWB please

We should keep Antony. In a 10 role he’d be class. Just isn’t quite mobile enough to play wide right, same as Mata.

No way, I've given him the 2 seasons and i dont believe he's capable of improving any further. Don't think he's able to play anywhere else other than on the right also

He was a bit of a cult player at OT especially in his earlier days when scoring goals against the narrative in the press that he was too inexperienced/expensive to justify his transfer fee and add-ons. '50 million down the drain, Tony Martial scores again'.

However, he became so lazy and laid-back on the pitch he eventually just stopped moving. Fair to say he did very well out of his time at United.

I never really saw what Antony was like at Ajax - did he look amazing in that team? Because he certainly doesn't in ours. He doesn't even look like an average premier league player.

I have some sympathy for him, because he didn't choose his fee, and it hasn't taken long for him to fall down the pecking order, although he does seem to have an impetuous streak in him. But there's a reason why he's considered one of the worse signings ever, regardless of fee - he's not very good.

Both he and Rashford are similar players, and you have to say both have ultimately flattered to deceive. Rashford has been less injury prone, but with both, you just feel that there should have been so much more. I think we remember Martial's highlights, because there was a lot of mediocrity in between, and the same is happening with Rashford.
