Anthony Martial..

Anything we got out of him this season was always going to be a bonus.

On his day, he can very good, but it’s been seven years of letdowns, so it’s on us if we’re expecting anything any different.

If he comes into the team and does ok, great. If we’re relying on him, we’re idiots. I expect an ailing pissed off Ronaldo to contribute more this season.

Hag loved this guy. He's sanctioned a new contract for him. Good times ahead for AM9.

Get him back fit.

But if you're weak as both an individual and a unit you're never going to get anywhere.

When you start seeing 2nd as an achievement (and I'm talking about the players not the management), or just getting to a final as an achievement (looking outside the club, poch crying when they beat Ajax ffs), you're basically f***ed.

If ETH does nothing else he'll have done well to alter that frail mindset. And he's essentially done it by binning the worst culprits and bringing in players with arrogance.

God how I wish Ronnie was even just 5 years younger. We'd win the league.

Yup. All that, mate but really, what enabled it all was that podgy/wombat-faced c*** who was making all the decisions over everyone else’s head.. Absolutely ruined the club. Just hoping we might, now, have arrested it and can get back to making credible competition at the top table.

Feel a bit dirty saying this in mitigation of some of these shitc***s but I reckon the players knew the futility of pissing against the wind with shit managers and even half-decent managers being undermined by that utter c***, who was pandering to his masters’ favour, in an endeavour to be teachers pet.

Where was the Manchester pusher when we needed him?

Why?

He's shit.

People never learn.

Right up there in the 'biggest waste of talent' stakes. Should have been an elite verging on WC striker.

it's the contracts that these £#%&!s have these days. Would Love to be back when a bit of a crap player just got transfer listed and if no one wanted them released.

State of some of the posters on here clambering for him...

Fair play to Ned for revealing the sum and his true distain for the useless £#%&!er.

Typo - wum, not sum

If we could get anything approaching a season out of him, we win the league and europa.

The best finisher at the club. If he can avoid injury (fat chance) then he’ll be our most important player this season.

He might actually end up being our top scorer too.

Agree pal.

As you know I’m not his biggest fan but needs must at the moment and he can be deadly infront of goal. Ronnie is just dead these days

It’s his fitness which will ultimately be the problem though.

I’d lost patience with him ages ago myself; I think the frustration comes from knowing how naturally gifted he is.

Like you say, needs to stay fit and also motivated - I think Erik can help the latter (fingers crossed).

Better goal contribution per 90 minutes than the city mutant.

If he could just stay fit and not be a smacked arse for large chunks of a season

Not holding my breath that he says either fit or on form tbh.

He will get goals in an attacking side, NQAT. Fitness has always been the biggest issue (head goes down when tired). Super sub is probably best role for him and the team tbh .. manage his minutes .. need a new centre forward though for 2 of Sancho/Antony/Rashers to play off from the wide positions. Great front 5 then - lots of options.

Better footballer that's why.

Out of the front 4, based on since ETH has been managing he is the first one you would pick.

Badly need a CF, Ronaldo needs goals but I think he will be off in Jan. rashfords hit and miss . Antony looks like he’s still settling and Sancho is doing his usual 1 good game in 6.

The lack of tracking back on the first goal

Hasn't played 90 min yet this season has he? In fact has he even started yet this season? It won't be pretty if he's forced to consistently. This role suits him well. Stretch the legs against tired opposition and he can get 10-15 league goals. Keep starting him and he'll just get knackered and break. Need that new central striker to soak up the minutes.
