    Right lads.. can someone tell me about the bbc who lvg just splurged 35m on?

    Apparently he was linked with arsenal
    Martial. Super talented young player but not a proven goalscorer even in the French league. I'd hesitate spending more than 15mil on him let alone 36.

      I was dubious when spurs were linked with a 16m bid

      he looked ok from clips but his record as a striker is up there with Origi's.

        He's been tipped to be the next Henry and has a lot of flair but that doesn't win you game. He only scored two more goals than Njie playing off the wing last season which wouldn't fill me with confidence if I were a United fan.

        • Any young french striker with pace is the new Henry.

          United do need some pace up front so it could work.

          He could also be the new Djibril Cisse.

          Hearing it's a basic fee of 36m before including add ons

            Origi was the guy i thought about as soon as i heard of this signing..

            United need the finished product

            From the descriptions of him it sounds like he goes out to the wings a lot.. doesn't sound loke the geniune out and out striker we really need.

            Not a huge fan of cavani but for an extra 14m we could have had him most likely

              I try not to draw conclusions of players from youtube clips alone but he doesn't seem like an out and out striker at all as you say.

              I wouldn't be surprised if you do sign him, then someone else will come in to play through the middle up top.

              Seeing Austin in a united shirt would be very weird

                    Yes, thought he'd scored

                      A lot of young strikers like to play that inside forward sort of role now. It's because lots of them know that if they are versatile and can play out wide and up front they'll be more likely to play and go further in the game. They often have difficulty play up top by themselves without a world class three behind them, though. That's why Kane and Austin have had disproportionate success, because they're big, strong and out and out strikers.
