Twitter going mad with this.
Not happening.
I’d take him, but only if we can get Gyokeres too
Love how this is a majority of people’s reactions to big transfers on here
The (absolutely vast) majority of big transfer rumours don't happen so the reactions aren't far off.
Completely pointless signing unless we're also getting a new #10 and two new wing backs.
He is a beast in the air
They've been willing to loan him to galata, surely they're willing to afford us the same generosity?
He doesn't seem to be setting the world alight in turkey.
I wonder if a Rashford part-exchange may suit both parties…
Weren’t they asking for €35-45m two months ago to get rid desperately? All of a sudden it’s €75m when we are involved?
Well we are rumoured to be after Olmo and Hernandez which would both be amazing. Doubt any of that is true though but these three transfers would be quite incredible on paper.
Hello Napoli, can I interest you in one Marcus Rashford?
- one fairly careful owner
- doesn’t do many miles when in use
- very good with children

1 less goal than Piatek and Banza but nearly 300 minutes less football (he joined late in the window). He’d be smashing it as top scorer if he’d played as many games.
Agree. In isolation he is a great player but with the players behind him at the #10 position and those on the flanks we will still struggle.
Wasn’t the feeling in the game that he had had too many injuries, likely to be unavailable for significant periods of the season and was past his peak?
Actually, that sounds right up our street

Playing for the best team by far, it's nothing amazing, his competition is pretty low.
He's 25.
How have I? How is in any way setting the world alight?
Useless signing when we don’t have any players capable of crossing.
What, you’re not sold on Dalot’s ‘fetch that then cnut’ crossing ability?
Quality player, good age, and an obvious upgrade on our current strikers.
But his injury record has to be seen as a concern, even accepting that some of them (like the broken cheekbone) were bad luck.

9 goals in 11 appearances is a fantastic return, how in any way is it not? Regardless of if he is playing in the best team or not, he still has to put the ball in the back of the net
Can’t say I rate the Caf player of the year.
Yep and he’s had a lot of injuries in a short career
Make it happen.
Also he is looking for a massive payday too, so it's even more perfect!
No brainer if we can get him for a good fee
Missed 28 games with muscular problems since 2017. Not that bad. But only player more than 2000 minutes with league football once. That is quite bad.
Hopefully his wage demands from the summer have massively gone down.
Send them rashy and zirkzee
Playing for the best teams means u get a lot more chances to do that, surely you would want a 1.5 ratio to be settings things alight at this level.
I did, but I am not sure how 9 in 11 is settings the world alight. Look at who hes playing against, this is a very low level.
Not setting the world alight = he didn't check.
Would he be better than our current strikers is the big question.
I've barely even seen him play and know the answer is yes.
He's averaging 1.07 goals per 90 in Turkey. By most normal standards, that can be fairly be described as lighting up the league.
If you're going to look at basic goal tallies, you have to take minutes into account. And the players who have scored more than him in the link you posted have also played between 2 and 4 full 90 minutes games more, in a league than has only played 16 games in total.
1.5? Who is scoring at 1.5? I don’t think that exists as a thing now or historically over a large enough sample size. Gyokeres, who is setting the world alight, is at 1 a game.
Frankly it’s a ridiculous bar you’re expecting that I’ve only seen playing FIFA and not in real life
