Nah moot, martial is the no9 now. He'll play through the centre on most occasions. Rashford has the left and if we got sancho he'd be off the right. Greenwood would have to be used carefully like fergie did with kids of his age. Anyway personally i dont see sancho happening this summer. No club is going to pay £100mil for any player in current climate and with all the uncertainty.

Makes sense to use him sparingly as the current purple patch will presumably be followed by ups and downs, but if his form doesn't dip how do you leave a player like that out?  Martial wouldn't be happy shifting wide again, but I rate him higher than Rashford in either position.  All three of them want to be the no.9 afaik.  In terms of finishing it seems to be Greenwood > Martial > Rashford. I fucking love Martial, but I'm still not convinced he's not equally useful on the left.  Tricky one for Ole.  "The good kind headache" etc.

Theres a good article about martial's development this season on the telegraph website. Greenwoods goal, which martial played a part in, wouldnt have happened last year as he is becoming a more rounded centre forward who does the hardwork now as well.

Yeh, greenwood will be a no9 no doubt but he's got plenty of time. Playing off the wing will improve him as a player as it did Henry for example in his early career. I think, i might be wrong that rashford might be content with being a wide forward where his pace can be utilised. Anyway in ole's attack, he wants his forwards to switch positions back when utd did that worh rooney, ronaldo, tevez etc.

Greenwood's goal doesn't happen if Mings actually knew the first thing about defending, also

You'll be back for Josh King in the summer, but if Main Edwards tries negotiating the way he did in the New year you'll get nowhere. 15 minutes my arse

I doubt we will to be honest. With Greenwoods emergence, what's the point? He's 10 years younger and already looks better.

Hudds were shite. We had no energy whatsoever. Luton took their chances.

Totally forgot about the point deduction side of things with Wigan.

I'm wondering if coming up to the Prem doesn't damage a club irreparably now. The financial gap between the two leagues is massive.

We bought shit and paid them too much. It’s difficult to recover from that as the players will all be on 3 year contracts with no prospect of any other much taking them. Most are out on loan now thankfully, but the damage has been done.

Probably.

Norwich have been so disappointing. They properly did Man City in and somehow still the worst team.

So we lose norwich, Bournemouth and aston villa but get leeds, west brom and hopefully notts forest or brentford. Ideally west brom drop into playoffs and forest win that. Thats not too bad for next season. A biesla team in PL is something ive wanted for a very long time.
