SEA: Is he better on the left, right or through the middle?

Naroud_Monaco: As I said, he is not a decisive striker for the moment. He needs space. He is young. I prefer see him in the left side. On the right side, he was very bad. On the left side, he can use his right foot to attack the goal with his speed and skills. In a forward position, I prefer him with another player to combine with the ball. But, in a solo striker position, he is not amazing for the moment… But, left side or forward position but not in the right side.

Dark-ASM: His preferred position is through the middle, but he is very good at the left of the attack. For the French U19 team, he played on the left.

david86: He is better as second striker with a lot of freedom.

Nate: It depends. At Monaco he was probably better as a left winger because he’s not good enough to be the only striker on the field. With Van Persie or Falcao beside him, he would have been great. With Rooney, not sure.

SEA: What are his current strengths and weaknesses?

Michaël: He is very fast, powerful, and very comfortable with the ball. But he needs greater consistency, even during a game. He can also improve his heading ability (he’s already much better than last year) and in front of the goal keeper.

galuchon: He’s very fast, technical and an impact player. A lot of things look easy with him, he is very difficult to stop once he starts running with the ball. But he’s not efficient enough yet, he still misses a lot, he needs to play more simple at times and more with the team…

Shaba26:

Strengths: He’s fast with the ball, dribbling, good running speed (acceleration) and technical skills (to eliminate an opponent in little space).

Weaknesses : Decision making (shoot too late, does not pass the ball at the right moments to his team mates etc).

SEA: What type of personality does he have?

Naroud_Monaco: Very discreet. There are many temptations in a place like Monaco… But he seems to be a serious young man.

Nate: He seems introverted, shy, however mature as he already has a child and a wife.

galuchon: He’s very quiet and also well educated, no scandal, follows the club and staff wishes. Looks like a family guy. He already got a kid even though he is young.

kjb972: He seems to be lazy, nonchalant and really nice almost innocent, like a teenager.

SEA: Are you disappointed to see him leave?

Naroud_Monaco: Yes we are because we didn’t have the time to really replace him. That was not planned. But, with 60-80M€, how could we be disappointed…?

kjb972: A little bit but Kurzawa was transferred for €30M and if Martial had left for €30M I would still be more disappointed to lose him than Martial.

Dark-ASM: Yes I am, but for the price of 50M€ +/- 30M€, it is a very good deal for us. But not for you!

SEA: Is there a possibility he could become a big money flop?

kjb972: I think so because he only is 19, and has never been consistently good during a whole season and I am afraid that Van Gaal could break his career. But despite all that I think that he is the French offensive player with the greatest potential. A lot more than Giroud, Griezmann, Benzema, Lacazette and Fekir. But I don’t think he is ready to be Manchester United’s striker.

Nate: Refer to first question. With a 50M€ +/- 30M€ transfer fee, he has to become one of the best players in the world. If he does not, he will obviously be a “big money flop”.

galuchon: Yes, because the fee is too big. So there’s a risk he cannot take the pressure of the Premier League and be part of a big club like Manchester United, especially with Van Gaal as a coach. Even in Monaco which is very quiet he took a long time to adapt, focus and be efficient. I am surprised you agreed to pay such a price for a guy who has everything to prove, even in Ligue 1 because he has never completed a full season yet.

Q&A With Monaco Fans On Anthony Martial 0
BY STRETFORD END ARISING ON SEPTEMBER 6, 2015 SEA VIEW

We posed several questions to Monaco fans at asmfoot.fr to gain insight into United’s new signing Anthony Martial.

Streford End Arising: Does Martial have the potential to become one of the best players in the world?

Michaël: He is all about potential. He is one of the most promising player in the world at this age, known by a lot of scouts for a number of years. I think he can do great things, especially in the Premier League. He is young, can improve and seems to have a good environment around him.

Naroud_Monaco: He has a potential, of course. In the 5 Best European Leagues, last year, he was the better striker for his age, with the best stats, etc. They are not amazing, 9 goals, but he is very young. You don’t have a lot of 19-years-old players who can be the best offensive element of a team as Monaco. He is one of the most promising French players… He is young but he has some experience, especially with the national youth teams (~ 50 matches / 25 goals). But, it’s difficult to say now if he could become one of the best players in the world, you know… His potential is interesting. Enough to be follow by a lot of scouts (Juventus, etc).

Shaba26: He is young, has big potential and could become one of the best. But he has to work a lot, the Premier League is a good championship for him, in which he can improve his level. In my opinion, and with what I know and seen of him, he is just a very promising player and can become a great player but not one of the best.

SEA: What has been his stand out performance for Monaco?

kjb972: He did not score in the matches against Arsenal and Juventus in Champions League, but I really liked his performances.

SamSam: That’s the problem. He just has a few major moments during a game.

Shannou06: None really, he’s always inconsistent.

Michaël: He finished last season greatly. He scored a lot of goals during the 10-15 games of the season and showed a lot of progress.

SEA: Is the comparison to Thierry Henry an accurate one?

Shannou06: No. Mainly because he’s black, French and comes from Monaco, that’s all I can find.

Michaël: Yes and no. Like said before, the comparison is easy because of his origins and because he’s from Monaco. Nevertheless, there are not a lot of forwards with such speed, power and technique. Henry and Martial have similar qualities, but the two also have a lot differences. Nevertheless, I can remember Martial’s first games at Monaco, and I thought immediately about Henry and when he started with Monaco in the 90’s when he was 17. At the same age, Henry was not a striker, and we couldn’t guess he’ll become such a great one. Martial can improve in front of the goalkeeper, so who knows.

Naroud_Monaco: Hmm… No. I don’t think so. The comparison is because of its origins (he grew up in the same city, etc.), his position and because he played in Monaco… It’s true, Henry was not a striker when he played in Monaco, so maybe Martial can improve his finishing for example, etc. He is young. And, he have speed, power and technique, etc.

I would say that Martial has more qualities to the Lyon school (more like a Benzema style or Lacazette, etc). They don’t have heading skills and a real spirit of striker (vista, etc)… But, they are very talented with their feet, with the ball. But, that can be productive… For example, in Lyon, the schema Lacazette/Fekir was amazing last year when they combine together, etc. I think Martial can be great with Rooney, for example. They can combine together with their techniques.

Henry was amazing and really complete. He had better heading abilities, finishing, etc. He was more of a real striker. Martial is better when he can combine with another guy in a axial position, I think. Or, when he has space in the left side…

SEA: Is he better on the left, right or through the middle?

Naroud_Monaco: As I said, he is not a decisive striker for the moment.

Nihilist:
Its toown early to be submitting asinine comments

Of the 4 teams that have won the league since 92, 2 of them have had very long term managers, the two new guys on the block brought marquee managers with pedigree.


An English manager hasn't won it simply because there hasn't been an English manager at any of those teams for the last 20 years.

A lot of this simply has to do with the sacking culture prevalent in England. All the big name foreign coaches in England today were given opportunities in their homelands to cut their teeth before moving to England to manage.

Ferguson managed in Scotland. Wenger managed in France. Jose Managed in Portugal. LVG managed in Holland.

But when in England, you get sacked before you even get the chance to hang your picture on the wall in your new office, how do you get the chance to cut your teeth?

How do you get the chance to gain the relevant experience to become a marquee manager yourself?

So I don't see how some idi0t somewhere can claim English managers don't have the knowledge, when none have been given the chance. I'm even more disappointed that you posted that rubbish here
how anyone can choose to not see the point here would have been surprising but then it's Ramudeen Ramuzaki.

Anything anti English gives him multiple órgasms.

Bruv, if you had followed this from the get go you would know that your fellow EPL fans blew the win outta proportion. Of course winning is winning like you rightly pointed out, but not to forget also that the tournament in which you win still matters a great deal. So, you and your fellows should take cognizance of that.
Okay then

lol.. My first and would have been my last post on the England issue if you had not quoted me while you, Ramuzaki and others have been on it for over a day and I'm the one carrying it on my head like gélé.. Again lol.

That aside
I'm still trying to wrap my head around how winning a friendly became a bad thing. Should they have lost?
How does someone get stick for winning?

Because a totally different English team did a similar thing 14 years ago and lost to eventual winners in the quarter final, while failing to beat Nigeria in the group stages.

That right there is the problem I have with you and your likes.


They deserve stick for being underwhelming in recent tournaments and those responsible deserve stick for that


Just stop the unnecessary criticism.

make una no let hatred for England cloud una judgement.

England of that tourney were decent enough to win it. The same brazil that knocked them out went all the way to defeat every other teams that crossed their path. That's to tell you even germany weren't better. If Germany met brazil in the quarters, they woulda been knocked out too and England might have reached the final. That same team that trashed Germany 5-1 woulda done it again if the met in that tourney.
actually the bash anything English to sound knowledgeable trend has been on for some time now...
Wether it is called for or not



If they had lost embarrassingly, they would have gotten bashed.
They won, they are still getting bashed.


It's usually best to just ignore them..

[quote author=chrisley024 post=43958458].Don't be deceived by the flashes from the youngsters. We need a solid first team with only Martial while others start from the bench.
Even Wenger has confirmed you win nothing with kids.[/quote]No one is saying they should become the main stay.
They need someone that will at least have faith enough to keep them on the fringes of the 1st team and give them chances from time to time as they mature.

Loans these days are hardly effective.
Except the two clubs have some form of bilateral relationship, No one is going to help you nuture your own.
These loans throw the players straight up into the deep in a sink or swim situation with little or no mentorship and that's not always a good thing.

You wan tell me say Tomas tuchel for example would not have found a way to make Adnan Januzaj feel more at home in Dortmund if he was their property and cost 18 million?
