The infamous Sky Sources say we're in talks for Tape Casette.
This hasn't even made yellow bar status on SSN though, despite reporting the news.

I think it did earlier on.
Ridiculously though, we're linked with Mbappe along with you for hilarious numbers.
And we're still being linked with Oxlade-Chamberlain for some reason.
We have selected our last-day-of-the-window, panic, appeasement target early this time.Arsene Wenger has placed Manchester United winger Anthony Martial on his wish list should the Gunners lose out to Real Madrid for No1 target Kylian Mbappe. Wenger is prepared to pay £40million for Martial, who fell out of favour at Old Trafford under Jose Mourinho last season and started fewer than half of United’s Premier League games.

Prefer Martial to VHS cassette.Originally Posted by Niall_Quinn
Mourinho will never sell. It will have to happen way over his head.
VHS Cassette is a 3rd rate striker moving to a 2nd rate club....we can do better methinks

Martial? So Wenger can play him on the wing? You'd pick him over someone that has consistently scored over 20 goals each season? I don't trust Wenger to develop Martial.
What makes Lacazette 3rd rate striker? If it's because he plays in the French league, Martial came from the French league and Mbappe plays in the French league. My only problem with this move is now Lyon are asking for £57m. We could have had him for a lot less 3 seasons ago.
We aren't in for Martial.
For a start, Mourinho wouldn't sell him to us. He's regressed badly under him anyway.
NOTE: The location of this post has been moved and the thread title (which was previously Wenger is Leaving) has been manipulated by a notorious pro-Wenger moderator. What was previously a message that contained no profanity and made a comment on a real life event has now been manipulated by a deliberately provocative title. An old and crude propaganda and censorship technique.
That's not the point. We're unlikely to sign either player knowing our record. Just can't make sense of why Global would prefer an inconsistent 21 year old kid that came from the French league to go on to say a more consistent and experienced player with a much better goal record is 3rd rate and not what we need.
He is only inconsistent because Mourinho always prefers a sure thing. This is why he played Ibra over him. Why he will spend whatever it takes to get another top line striker to make up for Ibra`s goals. lacassette is not a top line striker, cant even get in the French team ahead of Giroud. Martial has more talent and defo more potential. I prefer him but it doesnt matter. Wenger will not improve him one bit if Utd were to sell. None of the top teams are in for the VHS guy. Besides I dont think we should buy another French striker if Giroud is staying. Wenger will not be able to manage the situation to the teams benefit and start with his bizarre formations to squeeze players in.

He's 21 with just two seasons in the Prem. He's only been playing regular football over the last 3 years. 12 goals in his last season with Monaco, 17 for his Utd debut and 8 goals under Mourinho. Can we really jump the gun and say he's better than Lacazette? On paper he's not and we'd be pinning our hopes on him developing under Wenger and scoring a way more than what we've seen so far. After seeing what has happened with players with 'potential' in the past, you'd be happy to see Wenger attempt to play that card again? If Lacazette isn't a top line striker, what exactly is Martial? If Wenger can't improve him one bit, that means the best we can hope for him is 17 goals. Where is the sense in that?
My personal opinion is that Martial is a player of genuine quality and is far nearer in style to Thierry Henry than Kylian M'bappe.
But of course there are considerations, Lacazette is the complete thing unlike Martial and M'Bappe he is as good as he's ever going to be. And that's no bad thing, he would for me be very much like Lukaku in the premier league.
I think Martial has the potential to be absolutely world class, but of course it's the case of trusting Wenger to unlock his potential (it's hard to say whether his ability to do this is diminished or that since Fabregas many of the young players he has tried to develop just haven't been of that quality). It would definitely be more of a gamble than Lacazette, on one hand we know that Henry wasn't developing as a player under Carlo Ancelotti at Juve, on the other hand players never reach their own potential.
