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

[KRS]

If Rashford ends up here on a short term loan, then my considered opinion is…

Is it a gamble? Yes.
Is it a gamble worth taking? Also yes.

[olaftab]

No, so go on….

Disagree. Please don’t…

This is all true, but for the "well, it's a gamble" crowd, are there examples of risk-free, nailed-on success, couldn't-possibly-fail transfers?

[KRS]

Not at all, but some are higher risk gambles than others.

Lionel Messi to Inter Miami. Ronaldo playing for Al Nassr. Probably not many after that.

Every transfer carries a risk, but the risk rating slides up and down the scale. Rashford is very much in the red zone , same as Coutinho was , same as Drunkwater and Bobby Pires too.

And he'll obviously stay in a hotel as and when necessary.

Still though, TalkSport...

…and have a driver.

Rashford is in the higher risk category but the fact that it’s a short term loan some what mitigates the high risk to being an acceptable risk worth taking.

People didn't want Ross Barkley in the summer for the tiny amount we paid for him for somewhat similar reasons to Rashford.

I know. You'd think it was going to be stopped out of their wages.

Really poor comparison, Barkley was playing regular football and hadn't thrown his toys out , taken the piss for months on end upsetting more than 2 managers .

Well he is not very good at driving

And that arguably elevated level of risk is obviously mitigated by the fact that Marcus Rashford at his best is about a million times better than Ross Barkley at his best.

Barkley wasn't a lazy player who hadn't lifted a finger for two seasons. So not a valid comparison for me.

High risk without mitigating actions which we have put in place.
The real risk is with Rashford and United if he doesn’t perform
The upside is very much in favour of us.
Anyway let’s see how he settles in, I’m sure he will had a chat with the likes of Ollie and Tyrone.
Once he puts that claret and blue shirt on I will give him 100% and expect the same back.
