🚨🟣🔵 Marco Asensio remains separate topic from Rashford for Aston Villa.

#AVFC have been in talks with Paris Saint-Germain and agent Mendes, as reported.

Asensio can now leave on loan with Ndour joining Fiorentina.

Rashford, very close… while talks for Asensio continue.

🚨🧨 Aston Villa are monitoring Nice forward Evann Guessand — he’s on their shortlist.

There's an Ariana Grande song that goes "yes and...." . I think his surname could work with it. So it's a yes from me.

All the bulbous fiftysomething HMHB fans will be right on that.

I dunno, the Liverpool fans took to Dua Lipa, you never know.

Looks like we still want Asensio as well, interesting - that’s a lot of options in the attacking positions.

[Goldenballs]

Maybe we've accepted that we can't defend for shit, so may as well go all out attack.

Full Spurs.

Romano says the deal is close on Rashford and we are covering his salary. Nightmare!

I've had worse nightmares.

Lazy, doesn’t track back, disruptive in the dressing room, can’t be bothered with training, doesn’t fit our system, selfish, pushes Ramsey to the bench, very very expensive.

Agree with all that. Was very good for a short time but a waster of the highest order.

Not happy with this move at all.

Has he put your nose out of joint?

No one could of predicted this move, not even Nostrildamus.

Wherever Rashford moves next I’d imagine what he wants/needs most is a good environment, a great coach and a club who don’t hang him out to dry in front of the media at every opportunity. That might end up being us, it might not but there’s a good player there somewhere and his next move is probably his last chance to prove it at this level.

Maybe I'm remembering it wrong, but I feel like he got a lot of criticism when he was just feeding kids,   even from his own team's fans? A lot of people were just waiting for him to fall off so they could say told you so. Obviously he hasn't helped himself by partying and flying off when he shouldn't and what not, but I can't imagine what it would be like to attract that much criticism and vitriol for just doing some good. You can say the criticism of him now us warranted but you know a lot of it is coming from people who just hate him for no good reason.

It started around that time, I think you are right. The media scrutiny seemed to go up a notch and because he’d got credit for a great initiative it was a tabloid vendetta to bring him down, as they do.

Most recently, having your coach tell the world he’d rather play the goalkeeping coach than you isn’t particularly helpful either.

But surely those comments from the manager reflect how bad his performance and attitude must have been?

I'm not sure of the accuracy of "very good for a short time" for a guy who's got a 1 in 3 scoring record having played the best part of 450 games.

Not to be sneezed at, through a very large nose.

Centre half please.

[TelfordVilla]

The worst thing wrong with the rashford deal is that it allows man utd to go and buy a new striker. Why are we helping them out of their own mess.
