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

[LeeB]

This will be worse than coutinhio

Coutinho was fucking great, the problem signing him outright not the loan.

[Monty]

I do find it funny how people get very upset about where he’s going to play. If he comes and he does well enough to force himself into the starting line up that is very good for us.

Paul, the whole worry is that he plays on hope not merit.

I understand that - but if people think that then I think they underrate our manager. It might not work, but if it does we have a brilliant player on our hands. It’s worth a shot.

I hope so! There's no doubting the talent. But Emery does seem to fancy himself as an 'I can fix him' kind of guy (Duran, the Felix obsession), and nobody's immune to the odd blind spot.

I obviously hope to be digging into a big humble pie of the finest crow come the end of the season, but my instinct doesn't tell me this one works out.

It's a sad day for the club. No longer are we loaning in players the calibre of Grant Holt.

Simon Dawkins will be spinning in his grave

I’m really not sure about this, but if anyone can get him playing well again it’s Emery. A very good player on his day, if he does rock up at Villa let’s hope it works out for all concerned.

The clubs officially  lost it.

What a absolutely  terrible idea. This is going to be a expensive disaster.  Thank god its only a loan

We can look forward to you slagging him off after he scores or creates his first goal for us.

Then we can look forward to you screaming to sign him permanently and then we he flops and comes for a pay day like coutinho then you will be moaning why did we sign him.

Blimey, this is really out of character Demi, you’re normally so measured and level.

Even a broken clock..

You can amend you name to marcus cant fail once this move pays off

True, I just think people should not build up their expectations regarding Rashford. Best comparison I can think of is Gabby in the relegation season and even he didn't think he should be signing for Barcelona.

[Tuscans]

Remember Rashford played central under Solskjaer, probably playing his best football at the time. I see it as temporary Duran cover until the summer and then evaluate the situation then when there's a better idea finance wise where we are.

Eh ?
If we sign him permanently, it will be because he has proved himself and the club believes he can do a job.
Your ramblings are completely nonsensical.

[Smirker]

Sorry not sure about this one. If he can't put the effort in for his boyhood club why would he do it for us?

I trust Unai though so I'm probably wrong.

[Pete3206]

Absolutely desperate move, but I guess it's where we are post Duran.

Really surprised that a lot of Villa fans are optimistic about Rashford given that Man U haven't been able to get a tune out him for the last couple of years.

[Smithy]

I suspect people will feel very different when he scores the winner in the Champions League final…

Rashford or Felix would be great. Ramsey might be put out by it but as much as I love him he should have no qualms as his injury record testifies.

When Rashford has played on the left for Manchester United and England, he's played as a wide forward.  The role on the left that Ramsey and Rogers play isn't that kind of role, so I can't really see him fitting in there to be honest.

Unless we’ve decided that rather than playing with a right side winger Bailey we’ll be playing a left side one instead. I’m sure Unai will have some ideas on what he wants to do with him.

Maybe, but seeing that we've played with a right side winger since Emery has arrived then it would be quite a big change wouldn't it?

What on earth are you talking about? We're taking a punt on a player who was playing for England and scored 30 goals two seasons ago. He has the ability to be great for us and if it doesn't work out he goes back. It's not something to be upset about really is it?

Well  thats probably  one good thing at least he has CL experience

I will gove rash a chance like any player but i can see this being a bad move. Its a loan so its only a small risk
