I don't think anybody has suggested we've got him for cheap, he was hugely overpriced, we paid for potential, not immediate impact. Turns out he's already pretty good though
He's got potential. But it was pretty hilarious hearing comments like "how are Mertesacker and Gabriel gonna handle Martial?"
Like the guy is Aguero.
Why are you so sure he's going to 'fizzle out'?
Looks a good player and even at that price looks a good signing.
But yeah, hype is a bit over the top then.
This "how are Mertesacker and Gabriel gonna handle Martial?" kind of stuff was brilliant.
United have an absolute gem on their hands, credit where credit's due. he looks every bit of a 30mil player and he's only 19. that kid is special
He looks to have everything needed to be a world class striker, only time will if they overpaid for him.
Looks a good player and even at that price looks a good signing.
thank god you are not in charge at our club
Fair play GT.
He does indeed look every bit the real deal.....
For 50m+ you expect an instant return. Looks a worth it in today's market tho.

Seem to remember Martial rolling and brushing off big mert a couple of times, were it not for a Cech leg block and Monreal interception he'd have hade two goals from bullying ze German
😂 😂 GT was actually quoting Chris with that comment. Obviously doesn't rate him as he is a striker that isn't Giroud.
Obviously United have paid massive money for him but he does look a quality player. Too early to say what way he will go, at one stage ADM looked worth the money United coughed up for him.
It will die down like the Harry Kane hype

Nobody is going to keep a quality player quiet for 90 minutes. Per and Gabriel did well over most of the match.

Not sure why you are obsessed with me but your interpretation is wrong.
I think Martial is a talent. No doubt. Is he worth the money United pay for him? No way. Arsenal wouldnt pay that amount of money for a 19 year old boy and rightly so.
This is only for your Bats. You cant stop speculating.
GT I don't think you can argue he's worth it or not at this point...
How do you know he's not worth the money they paid for him? United paid £30M for Rooney at a similar age and over time he's obviously proved to be worth every penny so if Martial has a similar career he will clearly be worth it.
Kind of agree with OP, media hype is OTT, Martial is still a kid, I hope there won't be a backlash of similar magnitude when he inevitably goes through a lean patch
"1st Smalling now Martial"
Yes. Because Smalling has proven me wrong by turning into Rio Ferdinand.
He looks the real deal to me. Quite envious that United have got such a player.
How can people say whether he's worth the money or not. He was bought at 19 as a long term investment. They are not just paying for his current ability but for his potential.
The Martial hype is about right, he's a special talent. Utd overpaid thats not really his fault.
