Summer 2022 Transfer Thread

I didn’t think Rashford was that good in the first place.

I think Rashford is very talented, I suspect it’s the black hole that is Man Utd that is dragging him down.

Me too, but I'm not sure I'd foot the bill to test the theory

Oxlade-Chamberlain, lingard,  Loftus cheek, Drinkwater ………and there are loads more of them.

Players who for some unfathomable reason have a huge reputation based on absolutely fuck all.

[cdbearsfan]

They've all been very good at stages of their career so your summary is incorrect.

[LeeB]

Rashford is seriously talented but has lost his way, I think he's way above the players listed above.

I agree with LeeB.

Rashford would be worth it at a decent price (and wage) that reflects the fact that he needs to restart his career. Something around £30m would be worth considering I reckon, I think they want a lot more right now though. The big advantage is that he'd be that player who covers a few different roles up front which gives us a bit more flexibility.

[Drummond]

He'd thrive with us; a harmonious set up, a proper team effort where he'd be shown he was wanted and belonged.

I suspect you're right, it helps that he'd be another player I was proud to have at the club, thoroughly good egg that probably just needs a bit more 'arm round the shoulder' than hairdryer.

Rashford is quality, but needs a consistent run in one position. I would have him tomorrow, but I suspect Ten Haag will put an arm round him and turn him back into a footballer.

I agree with LeeB.

So you'd have him ahead of Watkins?

[tomd2103]

With the likes of Rashford, it's very dependent on where their head is at really.  If they are fired up, want to prove a point and just need that move away then it could be a good signing. 

If, however, they didn't really want to leave and view a move to another club as almost beneath them or they have drifted that far that they can't recover what they had (Dele Alli) then it is drifting into Stephen Ireland territory and should be left well alone.

He's on £192k a week and doesn't strike me as any better than Watkins with either his touch or fininishing and definitely not work rate, despite having played in a better side for his entire career. Wouldn't want him at the club, there's better quality at better value out there.

Agree, he has some talent and scored the odd wonder goal but was massively hyped up just because who he played for. He is a knock it past a player and run in to it, quick but not exceptionally so, can not play with his back to goal, does not link up particularly well , isWatkinsesque in 1 on 1 situation. Now the star dust has worn off he looks pretty ordinary.
