Wew ... I'd have to disagree man. They are both top tier talents, ability wise, but in my opinion Man Utd have done a poor job with them both. I mean Martial was bought for £54 million back in 2015, and there was competition from a lot of top clubs for him at the time. Regarding their attitudes, from what I have seen that has mostly come about from their frustration in being in and out of the team, and continuously being swapped between playing up front and out wide. It's not been great for either of their development. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genuine question don't remember him having a poor attitude just massively out of form Just from all the stories coming out this season from the press and from knowing a few of their fans.

Gallowgate Toon Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 It's OK to sign the odd player who is out form etc. It becomes more of a problem when you start stockpiling your squad full of footballers on a downward trajectory. Would absolutely take Rashford! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So would you be willing to pay the massive price tags (Rashford I assume would be upwards of 50 million) based on their form over the last year or so ?

I love your ambition, but they'd cost about 100m each... maybe in a few years. don't think we'll spend 50m+ on a single player, we need to go for quantity over quality at this point. incremental improvements.

Great question, and this is ultimately the crux of the matter. I think with how things have gone for them at Man Utd, particularly with Martial, there could be a chance we could get them for a bit of a steal, if Man Utd decide to blow it all up and go for a full rebuild. If that's the case, we should be monitoring their situations. I'd not bid more than £30 million for Martial and no more than £40 million for Rashford. Think their contracts are both up in 2024 and so they're going to have to make a call on them both this summer or risk having to let them go for much less next year as they will be going into their final years.

They’ll still be in Europe. Arsenal is their home club. They’ve both got years left on their contracts. Theyre both England internationals and young up and coming players and will be absolutely mega money to buy. The cost would decimate our entire summer spend, I’d imagine. They both play well and seemingly trust in Arteta. Why would they leave? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on the speed of their takeover over the summer and how desperate for cash they become. I reckon it’ll go through relatively quickly (lol) and they’ll be just fine though.

Absolutely man. I mean the summer is going to be so much fun, and what a joy to know we actually have a manager in place that will put any signings we do make in the best position to succeed. After what we've all suffered through for so many windows it's going to be a treat. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he'll be one of the untouchables at Chelsea. They have a ton of other players they'll move on first. The likes of Gallagher, Loftus-Cheek, Barkley and perhaps even Pulisic and Lukaku (!) will likely be shown the door well before they even begin to think about Mount.
