What a waste of money.

OK, so its' early days yet, but this kid Martial is starting to look the bollocks. How cool under pressure was he for both of those goals, and the one against the dippers last week? LVG says he will have good games and bad, well that's to be expected at his age. Rooney and Ronaldo were very inconsistent until they hit 21, but after that they were awesome together. Even United fans were groaning when we shelled out all that money for a player nobody had heard of a month ago, but they keeping quiet now.

What made me piss is that everyone, United fan or not, was quick to jump on the bandwagon of declaring him a waste of money before they had even seen him. Same applies now that he's had a decent start, I'm not gonna start saying he's the new Henry or Ronaldo. Looks quality so far, and those finishes the other day were clinical. Seems to have great belief in his own ability, when a lot of other, experienced strikers would have panicked.

Doesn't look too bad so does he?

Quiet last night, he'll need to gain consistency if he wants to be a top star.

You have to remember, Danny, that he is only 19 and I have yet to see a player who is top drawer every single week at that age. Last night, I dont remember us creating much for Martial, but when he did get the ball he looked very dangerous.

Yeah I know what you mean, but given that Rooney is looking bang average these days, we might need him to step it up a level sooner.

Rooney could do with a spell on the bench, maybe stripped of the captaincy. Be interesting to see how we'd play without him. Still think he's got a lot to offer, but he's shite at the moment and I think we would play better without him.
