Hi Ed, Raul Jimenez is tipped to join united shortly. Do you know any interest in him presently from us?

{Ed002's Note - He would be very expensive and who would he replace?}

Ken - I’m assuming that is a joke?
1999: Cole, Yorke, Sheringham and OGS
2008: Rooney, Tevez, Berbatov, Saha.

We lack depth in the squad at present time, he’d be a great signing.

Why make that assumption KG?
I don't like martial as a player. I don't think i ever will.
Sure he scored 17 league goals this year but i don't like his style or the way he carries himself. Its a personal thing. i'd rather we played with another cf than martial. i'd take jimenez in a heartbeat over martial.

And you couldn't make a worse mistake than that Ken.

I could agree that he looks annoying, rarely smiles, looks like all his hopes are gone, but that doesn't mean much.

He is a very good player, not to mention that he and Rashford have very good connections, which means a lot for the attackers.

While Jimenez is a good player, he is 5 years older, its questionable if he could fit so easily in the team, and I don't see him bringing in much more than Martial.

Also, worth mentioning is that Martial is finally playing in best position for him.

Thanks for the reply, Ken.
During Marital’s first season I thought we’d signed one of the best young players in Europe. Admittedly, he had a difficult couple of seasons under challenging management but he’s a talent and he’s finally starting to find some consistency and probably he’s now playing in his best position. He’s also (second to Greenwood) our most natural goal scorer and I’ve been impressed with him this year. I’m actually banking on him finishing as the PL top goal scorer next season. As a personal thing to you I completely respect that but I think he’s going to turn a few heads over the next few years, hopefully, including yours mate.

All in your opinion of course trololo.
I think there are lots of players that would bring more to the team than martial trololo are you suggesting that is not a possibility?
I respect your opinion its your opinion so i won't say your wrong but i disagree.
I don't like watching him play. Of course i recognize his talent and his improvement in the last 5 months but I've watched 5 years of mediocre sub standard lack lustre displays.
He turns it on when he wamts goes missing for large spells in games.
He doesn't suit my eye as a player i don't like his demeanour. I don't trust him as a player.
Put me in charge he would be 1st out the door. But i'm not in charge so he is safe🤣🤣.

No worries KG.
You will note on another thread that he was down as 2nd in my player of season that's because i do recognise his improvement. He did well for the team i see that. But he does frustrate me a lot. I simply don't like his style. But i jump as high as another supporter when he scores.
Id rather watch nearly any other player in a united jersey all the same. He is the polar opposite of what i like to watch most of the time.
I support the team not individuals its not a must to like them all.
I never really liked RVP either.
Its my personal opinion.
Ive seen him work a bit harder particularly since the restart and that's a really good thing for the team. As long as the team do well ill put up with him😂😂😂.

@Angelred

How much managers did we change since he is here? How many times we changed tactics following our change of managers? How old was he when he came to United? How many games he played in his preferred position?
It isn't simple as that Angelred.

Ken, sure there would be players who would bring more, but its questionable if its really "a lot" of players. Plus, how much would that replacement cost?

We do have much bigger problems on other positions, and Martial is bringing more than average, I would say.

Of course, I totally understand that you dislike a player, I dislike Lingard for example.

More than average for 15 games less than average for the remainder. In my opinion trololo.
But that's the beauty of football one mans pig ear is another man's silk purse.
Tbh its not debatable to me that there are lots of players better suited for me that list is endless. But you are entitled to your opinion on that which of course is not fact just opinion.
