Marcus Rashford - signed on loan (injured - out for season?)

[AV84]

Interesting to see that article suggest we're not paying a loan fee. So covering most if not all of his wages is probably financially not a bad deal?

I like rashford and think he will do well with us

Being suggested the buy price would be in the region of £45m.

Which seems ok if he has a barnstorming 20 games with us between now and the end of May.
But he'll presumably still want as close to his current £325k a week if he joins us permanently. We'd be mad to pay that. We're still paying Coutinho c£150k a week til June 2026.

Who also had a barnstorming loan with us, resulting in him joining us permanently.

🚨🧨 Marcus Rashford is due to have a medical at Aston Villa today —  buy option is £40m, with Villa paying 70% of his wages.

70% seems a bit high tbh, would have preferred 50%.

[Olneythelonely]

What’s that? Nearly £250k a week we’ll be paying?

£227,500

I can't be arsed to do the maths while drinking but I'd imagine 70% of the salary plus no loan fee isn't that different to 50% of the salary plus a few million loan fee, as was previously speculated.

Given the acrimony with Amorim, we shouldn't have had to pay a loan fee even if we were only covering 50% of his wages.

[PeterWithesShin]

They should be paying us to take him.

[cdbearsfan]

Sure, if we were the only bidder. But that doesn't seem to have been the case.

70% is only around £1m more than 50% for the rest of this season so it sounds better.

Beaten by Double Denim Dogheads and then signing this has been. Great weekend.
