Marcus Rashford (out)

We called it here, only difference is that is Chris instead of Henry winter. Who advised him to make that interview? Start by separating yourself from them and if it was your decision, publicly apologize.
 
:lol: so he's staying then. As I said, his ego must be a bit bruised at who was willing to take a punt on him.
More likely he doesn't want a paycut to play elsewhere. He has 3 years left on his stupid contract & won't leave without getting paid. This is just posturing.
 
The club needs to never find themselves in this situation again, granted INEOS didn't negotiate his current contract but this should be the case study used going forward of what not to do! the second chapter can be on Casemiro.

Rashford can not still be sulking around the place in Feb. Get him out asap!
 
Not mega enthusiastic about the chance to turn out for Como 1907.
Apparently not!

Which yeah is fair enough, that's his contract. But in this situation he can't have the best of both. Either leave and accept he will need to take a wage cut cause the calibre of teams in for him can't afford to even pay half of it a week, or chill on it for 6 months not playing.

You need demand to do that. Of which there is basically none, between his wage demands and who actually wants to risk a punt on him.

Yes, if he really loves football & wants to prove everyone wrong then he would try to find a compromise. I doubt it though. The contract was too stupid from us and he'd likely want a huge payout or would sit it out like the tweet is suggesting. As surely there is no way back into the team for him after how it has transpired.
 
Imagine him nuckle down now, finally putting the required effort in and smashing it in the second half of the season for us.

Very unlikely i know, but that would definitely be some redemption story.

And it's not like we couldn't use an in form version of Rashford until summer.
 
Awkwardly falling back into line after realising(predictably) that there isn’t a host of top clubs queuing up for his signature.
Only Barca, Juve, Dortmund & Milan all showed a lot of interest of the top clubs, not a bad list tbh. Then obviously west ham and Como. None of whom can afford him, so maybe he needs to rethink his pay demands when he eventually moves on.
Impact sub until the end of the season is a start, he can score which is something we’re really bad at.

An entitled brat finally bothers to put in some effort at work after failing to attract any offers from other organisations.

What a redemption story. Hollywood are putting a script together as we speak
 

I wonder how his ego is knowing only a team that’s 10th in the Bundesliga and a team 4th in the French league are showing any interest in him.
Not forgetting a team 8th in Serie A who decided going after Kyle Walker was a better deal .

He has been publicly excised from the team, people need to stop assuming it's up to him to knuckle down and prove a point, he proved his point, he's not a professional and is no longer part of the team because of it.
 
Since he’s an academy lad, why don’t we just release him for the minimum possible?

It would still be profit on our end since we got him for nothing, and teams would be more inclined to indulge his wages if the transfer fee is miniscule.
What’s he got left on his deal, 3 and a half years? We’re talking 50m quid just to give him away.
 
I think so yes, that's why Potter never took a job until his severance pay with Chelsea finished.

Hopefully Dortmund take him and relieves that amount for us.
I'm no expert on their finances, but I think he's simply too expensive for them. They are likely without champions league money next season and need to save money.

Agreed. It's one thing freezing him out in Fergie's days when you have an array of quality players.

But not now when we've arguably the weakest attack we've had in 30 years
 
This is all just negotiations - Rashford wants out, we want him out and Dortmund want him. Dortmund want to pay the least possible, rashford wants to reduce his wage as little as possible and we want to contribute as little as possible - hence why we’re “relaxed”, Dortmund are happy as they have gittens anyway and rashford is happy to stay and fight for his place.
 
Fully expecting the club to accelerate a Garnacho sale this window now to be honest.

Yeah it pisses me off! Rashy and Casemiro are completely immovable so the only other option is to sell one of the young ones.

But we have Woody/Arnold and the fecking Glazers to thank for all of this. INEOS are just cleaning up the mess left behind...whilst also making a fresh mess of their own.

We don’t pay him his full contract if he leaves, he’s asked to leave, so if anyone matches whatever the club values him at, he’s then going to negotiate a deal with the buying club.

Only in loan deals without an option to buy though.
