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

[Toronto Villa]

I'm going to enjoy fans of other top clubs regretting making this move for Rashford and the media losing their mind as he performs well for little olf Villa. Of course it will circle back to why it didn't work at Man U at every opportunity.

The main reason it didn't work for Marcus Rashford at Man United is down to Marcus Rashford. Let's not kid ourselves. The last player I can recall who took the piss out of our club in such a manner was Gabby.

You sure about that? He's got 7 goals and 3 assists this season despite not playing for ages. Third behind Diallo and Fernandes. I don't recall Gabby giving an fraction of a shit that Rashford has given that colossal fuck up at Man in the relegation season.

I have my reservations about the signing myself but I'm an Englishman and fair play dictates we should at least wait to see him play before commencing slagging him off.

Looks in good shape in that photo, far better than he did in the signing photo when he looked dishevilled, good fresh Warwickshire air doing him the power of good.

Yes I am sure. I've seen him enough over last couple of seasons that the stats fail to mask. The fact he is third on their scoring charts says more about how inept the rest of them are than any hard luck story. It costs nothing to run and give your all. That's the bare minimum for any player, not to mind a homegrown player getting an outrageous wage. Let's not rewrite history.

Look, maybe he can go on and have an impact for us like Carew had. From memory Houllier was basically trying to bomb Carew out of Lyon at the time for whatever it cost (Milan Baros 😂) , nightclubs and everything else. But he's still a cult hero at Villa Park

Looking at the table today it struck me that while we sit in 8th our -4 goal difference puts us 12th level with Wolves. It looks like they've achieved what they set out to do which is to supercharge our firepower in one fell swoop. I'm really looking forward to seeing some fantastic attacking football with the holy trinity of Watkins, Rashford and Ascencio causing mayhem aided and abetted by Malen and Rogers. Who knows it might even spark Bailey into life. I think we're going to go on an all out assault to try and secure 5th spot which should be enough to qualify for CL football. Buckle up Dorothy it's going to be an exciting ride. Bring it on.

Gabby took the piss for years. Rashford seems more a case of the owners have finally realised they can't keep paying crazy wages and a new manager doesn't want him. If Rashford had an attitude problem you'd think he'd just do a Winston Bogarde and sit out his contract for a few years and retire. Instead he's making a move where he'll be under the spotlight to show he isn't, or is, the issue.

Have you sat a few rows behind me throughout my whole Villa supporting life?

Only when the guards permit

At least we dont have to worry when we get a penalty .

Ollie's only out for 10 days.

You’ve gone and fucked it now.

I'm genuinely stunned you'd compare Rashford at Man Utd to Gabby with us.  In Gabby's last 3 years with us (from age 29 up), he played a total of 38 times, and scored three goals.  Rashford has maintained a 1 in 3 scoring record whenever he's been called upon.

Man Utd is a shambles of a club right now, and so I won't judge a player based purely on how it's gone for them there under three different managers in three years.  Look at Scott McTominay, deemed not good enough for their midfield, and now leading the title charge at the heart of Napoli's midfield in Serie A.  Look at Antony Elanga, tearing it up at Forest.  All it seems to take is to get the decent players out of that environment and they can thrive.

Even that Antony bloke was at his new club 5 minutes and he gave a MoTM performance.

Anthony got man of the match on his debut for Real Betis.
