    And to think if Rooney had scored against Swansea we'd never have bought him.


    Being cautious, I still think we're one short though. Martial is bound to have a slack spell at some point. At present he's riding the crest and finishing beautifully but at his age he'll go through a spell where it won't work and we've got loads of games to play this season hopefully.

    There's always January if this happens I suppose. In the meantime though, looking forward to seeing the arrogant git in the flesh on Saturday.

    Not sure about that. I think we would still have gone for him, even at that price :bandit:

    I'm 100% certain we would have.

    Its possibly true. Chelsea only hate 19 away fans, 6.9727 more than QPR, or so I have been told.

    Can see us getting one in January, someone out of the blue but experienced. Especially if by Christmas we are right up there challenging. We would be mad not to.

    Aye, but we'd probably have to find a good striker, not CL tied, playing for a club which is way below their level and thus angling for something better.

    So, Benteke it will be then <ok>

    The irony is that we will probably use him better than Brenda. Who is totally confused on getting the best out of him.

    That's not irony.

    That's Liverpool being ****.

    Think chiefs shout for Austin isn't a bad one at all. Guy knows how to score and wouldn't cost a fortune. Not cup tied and basically negates the need for Fellaini.

    Theres a few others around. Mane from Saints (though not a striker). Ighalo from Watford too seems to be banging them in.

    1 in 13 since now Lvg has ruined him.

    Martial would be great at Arsenal. For £20m

    Even with LVG sticking him on the wing and/or asking him to defend from the front the lad's played well. He's got everything in his locker as Matt Le Tiss would say. He's definitely going to be a top player, hopefully with us and possibly with us under Jose (!), but that's all down to how and when Woodwood sticks the knife into LVG.

    He needs support.

    Quick read back on this thread shows most of us knew him alone wouldn't be the answer and I for one said there would be a lean spell. It's obvious, he's 19 and settling into a new country.

    Shame the club didn't realise what this clueless middle aged bloke who lives in the past knew would happen, eh?

    This needs to be sorted next month. Austin is still an option or we buy big. We also bring back Wilson and then have four strikers to call on, which is just ****ing obvious.

    LVG isn't getting the best out of any of them!

    I hope Martial does become the £60m player you already think he is!

    Best bit is you come out with this classic, yet don't understand we have a lack of quality in attack (his fault yes).

    Weird eh?

    Yeh strange that aint it. I mean it's not as if I was telling you all summer we needed to buy a 25-30 goal a season CF while you were waxing lyrical about how Van Gaal knew best. Yep clearly I didnt understand...my mistake <ok>

    But hey, at least unlike you, I dont use hindsight to change my stance on things.

    Prove it and if you can't just admit your generation is **** and that you know nothing before coming back and you know stuff when we're only 9 points off the top and have the best winning the ball back stats in the league so yeh. Lol. Pathetic.

    Lol. Of course you do.

    And if you recall, I was one of those who was excited that we signed Martial. You weren't. Please bare this on mind in future before making yourself look a tit.

    Thanks.
