And I'm not advocating we spend £36m on an inexperienced player anyway. Wenger would fuck it up. The guys calling for a Martial signing are the same guys writing off Walcott and Ox now but if you'd go back to before we signed them they'd be singing their praises as raw exceptional players like they're doing now with Martial. You can add Vela and Campbell to that list as well.

You can't be filled with much confidence in Wenger developing this kid after watching what he's done over the past 10 years.
I expect smart people to say "hmmm, Manchester United's highly paid technical staff coaches, managers and scouts deem this player worthy of spending massive money. I dont know anything about the player so what i'll do is reserve judgement. In fact i'm a little worried as an ABU, this boy could well be the real deal and I admire United for attempting to identify the next in line when all the established stars are unavailable"

But nope, you wrote him off.

It was an intelligence test. Simple as that.
