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

[N'ZMAV]

he needs this, but we also need a forward - makes sense, and Emery improves players - £3mil isn't bad....

He tends to bounce from being very good to being crap. Hopefully we get the good version.

[caster troy]

He just doesn’t fit our system at all, what is Unai’s plan here?

Can’t play the Ollie role, he’s no lone striker and doesn’t press enough.
Not disciplined enough for our wide roles.
Not technical enough as a ‘10’

He could work in a 4231 as the wide left forward. But that leaves Ramsey out as neither are as effective on the right.

 Take your pick from Watkins, Ramsey, Rogers, Rashford, Bailey, Malen. Rogers or Rashford could play CF in the event of Ollie being injured. Ollie could play in a 2 with Rashford also. We've had worse options up front.

Unai Emery would resurrect his career. He's been playing under crap managers since Fergie retired. Get it done please Villa.

We have indeed

I dont want him at Villa but then I said the same thing about John Terry.

[Monty]

I'm astonished by this, but here we are. I hope it works out.

Unai Emery is apparently keen on getting him in. That's all I need to know.

Ramsey is my favourite player and he's finally getting back to form. I care more about that than the Rashford baggage. The right side of our attack needs a lot more work.

Could Ramsey play there? He's pretty two-footed.

Hoping we get this version of Marcus Rashford. Not the one that stopped giving a fuck about football in the last year.

His set up for the goal to Ollie this week suggests he could.

[BC Villain]

Massive gamble by Emery here.  If this backfires it will undo a lot of the good work he's done.

[Bosco81]

Given the form Ramsey has shown the last few weeks, if Rashford starts getting in ahead of him he must be playing well. Rashford can play across the front 3, and I’m sure in his younger days he pressed and tackled back, maybe he just needs a change of scenery, have we ever signed an MBE before ?

The salary package could upset a few in the squad if we don’t get it right though.

I’m more interested in knowing who our new centre half is going to be, but I guess there is not as much interest in that, compared to the Rashford story.
