Thoughts on Anthony Martial & Martial + 60m = Verratti deal.


Anthony Martial has been making the headlines recently, news which speculates him to a move away from Manchester United.

So in the last week or 10 days, it was rumoured that Inter Milan want Martial to be included in the possible Ivan Perisic deal, either as a permanent transfer or a season long loan(which is completely daft to do).


Yesterday, news broke that Manchester United are in for Italian midfield sensation Marco Verratti from PSG, which includes Martial + 60 million pounds. 
Just because Verratti has appointed Mino Raiola, doesn’t mean he’s guaranteed to a move to Manchester United. Here. I am not ruling out a transfer, but I am being realistic. Think he dreams a move to Barcelona, which is exactly why he appointed Raiola.



Coming to the Martial + 60 million = Verratti deal, I think its complete nonsense & lazy journalism.
Reasons why:

1)           Player/Players + cash = Player, deals don’t happen. Even if it does happen in the future, it will still be recorded as 2 different transactions in the books of the accounts.

2)           PSG won’t sell him (at least this season). They plan to make a squad around him (which is sensible).

3)           As mentioned before, think his move to Barcelona is the inevitable.

4)           Jose won’t sell him. He clearly knows, Martial is got the potential to be a great.

5)           I’d personally love Verratti at Manchester United, but I don’t think it addresses our need of a proper powerhouse in a CDM, and don’t really think Jose would prefer him there.

6)           Verratti is a great player, but he doesn’t possess that physical and height attribute, which Jose loves and prefers.

After the rumour of Martial + 60 million = Verratti broke out, some of the fans didn’t mind the idea, some questioned his consistency and some called him a ‘One Season’ wonder.

I 100% agree, he cannot survive on the ‘potential’ tag forever and needs to convert potential into performance, but there are certain things to keep in mind:

1)           He’s only 21, not 31. Very young.

2)           He suited more to LVG’s system, scoring 17 goals in all competitions

3)           He definitely needs time under. Think Jose will get the best out of him.

4)           Some of the fans just cannot have faith & patience with him and want him sold.

5)           These are the same lot, who wanted Manchester United to sign Kylian Mbappe, who’s only a teenager.

6)           Not to forget, he’s had to face too much nonsense from his relationship life. That’s the reason of him performing poor in his 2nd season.

That’s too much to take for a 21 year old. These kinds of situations are tough for any person, especially when you’re well known globally and a Manchester United player who was written off, even before he kicked a ball in a Manchester United shirt.

Neymar & Sanchez to PSG deal explained & possible lineup for 2017/2018 season

In this summer transfer window, we witnessed one of the most shocking & biggest transfers in Leonardo Bonucci’s move to Ac Milan. If rumours are to be true, we are in for another.  Neymar Junior to PSG is the biggest speculation dominating all the headlines of all the media houses, and if this deal does happen, this ought to be the mother of all transfers and Neymar will beat Pogba as the world’s most expensive player (which is great from a Manchester United perspective).  Sanchez is also another player who is rumoured to a move to the French giants. If these two deals in Neymar & Sanchez do happen, PSG are surely strong contenders in the 2017/2018 Champions League. Reasons why Neymar would leave Barcelona: 1)     Neymar is 25, it’s about time he becomes the main man at a football club. 2)     PSG’s deal is very remunerative to Neymar as it provides him the opportunity to be the poster boy, the opportunity to be o...

Why Manchester United Should Sign Perisic Instead Of Bale.

Perisic has been heavily linked to a move to Manchester United Ivan Perisic is one player, who has been constantly linked to a move to Manchester United, in this summer transfer window.  Inter Milan want £48m for him, which is beyond Manchester United’s valuation, but looking at the current market, its fair enough and matter of fact, Perisic is their best player after club captain, Mauro Icardi. So, a club is ought to try to keep hold of their best players or demand a huge fee. It’s no hidden fact, Real Madrid want to sign the teenage sensation in Kylian Mbappé. Mbappé is someone who seeks regular 1st team football, and in order to do so, one of the BBC needs to be sold. According to recent reports, Zinedine Zidane believes the club must sell Bale, if they are to sign Mbappé. Now that Barcelona is also in the race, one can expect Madrid to act quick and of course to prove “Perez always wins”. Manchester United has always shown interest in Bale, so they now lea...
