ali z on toby: Certainly something going on, they are trying to force Martial as part of deal but we can't do it as Poch has other priorities in non hg incomings.

?!?

Wait so it went from Man Utd not selling to us, to Man Utd offering him and us saying no?

 

[GobbyJJ]

Jesus h christ.

Can he play in centre mid?

WHat in the lords good name does this all mean?! AGGGGHHHHHH

 

[BENNO]

Better in middle than out wide as not very good with crosses

WTH, Toby also not HG so what is this fuss about?

 

[dovahkiin]

ali z on turning down martial?: no we aren't turning him down but have no space for non hg as it is Jansen, gnk and 1 other won't be registered, can't create a situation where we have 3/4 players getting paid who can't kick a ball.

 

[Moonie]

Not sure but he has a great cross

 

[ToDarrenIsToDo]

This window is an absolute wild goose chase isn't it. Haha got to laugh really

Oh my fucking god if we don't "have space" for Martial.

Martial is class and we rarely get the chance to sign players of his profile, just take the hit on GKN or whoever after our window shuts.

I’ve heard it all now - every excuse under the sun

Absolutely under no circumstances can we let players like Janssen, GKN etc let us stand in the way of missing out on a player like Martial. Levy simply has to take a chance that even for a knock down loan players on the fringes of a Champions League team will generate interest in the last few weeks of the European market.

We aren't asking for continuous risks, just a gamble every now and then. Janssen & GKN need to go somewhere like Vitesse Arnhem, Nice, Parma or someone like that. Surely they will have some interest before the window closes. Levy needs to roll the dice

We’re happy to pay Sissoko...

 

[kieranfitchett]

meltdown incoming, i would have thought signing martial before getting rid of deadwood and taking the risk that we dont shift them would be pretty brave but oh well

 

[L-man]

If we have other priorities for non-HG other than Martial, surely the situation has to be:

Grealish HG
Zaha HG
CM/ CB Non-HG

I really can't see us doing that much

 

[crokey]

Seems like a lesson to all involved, including fans, that buying anyone for nothing more than to spend money is not worth it.

Buy world class, or close, and fill the gaps with 6/10 kids.

No more 7/10 buys.

Fucking hell I'm close now

We’ve been trying to get them to include Martial literally this whole summer and now we’re saying no so that we can get some game time out of Janssen and GKN for the 40 odd grand a week we’re paying them?

This can’t be true and if it is Pele in his prime better fucking be the “non-hg priority”

 

[Liamyid28]

And to have 3 non home grown keepers!!!
