For me Martial is just meh. The age thing would have been OK if he was cheaper but for almost £40m I want at least 25 EPL goals a season and even without injury he won't deliver. He's not crap but for what he's produced so far LVG in August might as well have plucked Marcus Rushford from academy or a plucky Vardy type punt on a lower/non leaguer eg Aaron Williams (Nuneaton), Moses Emmanuel (Bromley), Omar Bogle (Grimsby), Xavier Vidal (Reading) and got a similar return. Martial is no flop, just nothing special, he's overrated and way way below his price tag IMHO.
