Marcus Rashford (out)

I probably know the answer to my question, but can anyone explain how everyone that we choose to put on high wages turns out shit (ie looks like they're only here for the money) while other top clubs pay that pay similar wages get the performances they need out of those top earners?
Rashford is a bit different, whilst there is a United tax there is also an English tax. Filling the homegrown quota is quite a big deal and if you can do it with the best ones (at the time he was pretty good) it's seen as worth the extra cash.

There is no doubt we do overpay, but that that's what happens when you barely make the CL every season and in a constant decline, you don't have much more to offer top players than money.
 
Give us Son and we’ll listen..
Would be a classic United signing, buy an ageing declining player then bemoan why he was bought in the first place after he starts stinking up the place a year into the mega contract.
 
well, If he had to go to a club in England then I would prefer he went to one like Spurs that would never win anything.

Except Son isn’t declining is he? I wouldn’t have said he is anyway.
 
Even if we get Son in return for Rashford, Son at 32 is still by far a much better player than Rashford at 27.
 
Dude it’s rashford. He would make them worse
Nope, he will have a renaissance and show us what we are missing. He would be uber motivated to succeed in the PL. Plus we’ll forever have to listen to gushing over him in the media, and stupid united fecked up again and sold their best players etc. send him abroad - out of sight, out of mind.

Even if he does, which is a big if, it will only be for 2 months every 3 seasons, so it's fine. Sabotaging them for the rest of that time is a good deal. I don't care where he goes, just that he goes.
 


Spurs :lol: :lol: :lol:
Go feck yourself.


The real question is are they willing to include an obligation to buy.

As bad as Rashford has been, he does have 2 PL seasons with 17 goals. To get him on a short term loan without any commitment will be a low risk gamble with the potential for a high reward.

Yeah, he's been shit for us for a while but he is still a unique player who if he's happy and in good surroundings, can instantly be one of the best players on his team. Especially given all the 2nd tier teams are looking at him, it's less pressure and if he goes to Bundesliga or Serie A, I'd definitely expect him to tear it up a bit. He just needs to get away from Manchester as a city and get a fresh start I think.
 
It seems sensible to let him go somewhere on loan where he'll start a lot of games and hopefully get some goals.

Then we can move him on for a decent fee in the summer.

He shouldn't be reintegrated as we know the history with Rashford and what happens next.

Agreed. When you factor in the money for Sancho, Casemiro, potentially Zirkzee and maybe some others, we should have capacity to spend some decent money in the summer.

Pass me the bong mate
 
I wonder if he will make a U turn if he is still here near the end of season as we get better and better. I mean even when he was at his best the only club that seemed to be interested in him and had the money was PSG (to replace Mbappe). But thats no longer the case.

In European football if that’s the best deal we can do for a soon to be past it Son that’s pretty pathetic. There are plenty of players we could do a swap deal for that represent better value and actually a good opportunity to get a long term deal over the line for said players.

Genuinely spat my drink out reading this in a thread about Rashford.
 
Spurs would be a good move on loan. He will put up ridiculous numbers in their attacking team. Sets us up nicely to then get a big fee for him in the summer.
 
Good, now we have a manager who will take this action Marcus knows he can’t phone it in anymore. We are getting statements already saying he will fight and give 100% which can only be a benefit. If it doesn’t happen he knows what the alternative is now.
Those statements are PR bollocks. If he got back in the team he'd do the same thing he's always done, lounge around the pitch putting no effort in. He's done here, simple as that, and the sooner lazy players that put no effort in are gone from this club the better.
