Martial not in the French World Cup squad. Can't see him staying here. This will be a big blow to him, and he'll be looking for first team football.
Has potential, but Jose doesn't like him so it's best to try to recoup some of the money we paid for him.

France have incredible strength in depth lacazette, Benzema, Laporte and Coman didn’t make it either. Martial should have made it but I wouldn’t necessarily blame this on Jose. Deschamps is such an incompetent manager and he is the problem here. I think rabiot missed out as well. With that squad France should be winning the World Cup but as long as deschamps is there they won’t.

Well said my man . He should move to get his career back on track. Somethings just never work.

A lot of big names missed out on the French squad. They have some good options.

2 serious posts in a row. Where's the real Danny, and what have you done with him?
18 May 2018 09:10:28
Why is he not making the French squad?
Why is he not making our team?
I think these coaches who have been in and at the top of their profession for years need to start listening to some real experts.

Well, he’s not in our team because Jose brought in Sanchez. Martial was in good form before that, but Jose doesn’t rate him and brought in a new player to directly take his place in the team.
He’s not in the French squad because he hasn’t been playing regular first team football.
It just makes sense to sell the lad if he has already been replaced.

Even if he wqs playing regular football he wouldn't get into that team. Look at lacazette playing regular football and he couldn't make it.
They have Mbappe, Greizmann, Fekir, Dembele, Giroud, Lemar and Thuavin. He hasn't performes to their level and they deserve their place more then him.

Lemar and Dembele have had fairly poor seasons, difference is they have been starting games over the last few months. Prior to signing Sanchez, Martial was on course for his best goal tally for us. He was performing well, but the manager brought in a player to directly replace him in the starting line up, and his opportunities have been restricted since then.

Mendy has not played football all year and is in the squad. So not sure that's the only reason.
Of course France are spoilt with some great options they could but in 2 squads and get both to the 1/ 4 final. Deschamps actually said martial is not in the squad because when he played in recent internationals he has not done as well as other players not because he was not playing regularly for his club. It's hard to argue he is better than who was picked ahead of him really.
