My heart is broken too.
I tend to gage these things by what my soon to be 15 year old thinks. And he thinks its a really good signing. Thats good enough for me.

I am struggling with the fact that having just moved a problem, we are about to replace him with what could be an even bigger problem.
Did we really need all the noise and baggage that comes with Rashford?

Yes, it was horrible having to deal with Durán smashing the ball in all the time, and we only managed to treble his value. Let's hope we never have a player who might put us through that sort of torture again.

As if I said I wanted Duran out, but his issues appear to be the reason why everyone is accepting of him leaving.
I have no idea if Rashford will be smashing the ball in.
Not sure if you are being serious or just an excuse to have a pop at me.

If we are covering  half his wages that will be about 150k a week. Bloody hell.

I bet he wont be fit for at least 2-3 weeks either

This has completely destroyed the feel good factor from reaching the last 16.
This is tongue in cheek, yes ?

I’m sure it is and it won’t be long and it will be scooooooooorchio

Even winning the Champions League and the FA Cup wouldn’t wipe this pain away.

I see we've already had to write off the title.

On the bad attitude front, Sancho is a good example of how Man U (and the media circus that goes with it) might be the problem, not the players. He was training with the kids, moved to Dortmund and was integral to getting them to the champions league final. Been solid at Chelsea too.

I can definitely think of a bad attitude Man U player we signed who did alright.

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.
Unai Emery is apparently keen on getting him in. That's all I need to know.
He was keen to get Philogene in too.

Feels like worst case scenario is he replaces Duran as the moody child who annoys everyone but might occasionally put in a decent 20 minutes. Meaning we're no worse off really than we were.

Anything beyond that seems like an improvement, so how bad can it be?

I dont want him at Villa but then I said the same thing about John Terry.
Same here: was dead against that to anyone who'd listened! I'll give him a chance like I gave John.

Not looking forward to the media circus , though!

The clubs officially  lost it.

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

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

Even a broken clock..

Not if the arms have fallen off and the numbers have faded away.

Anyway, on Rashford seems reasonable for a loan. Ideally we’re not covering all his wages. But if he’s good he’ll get time if he’s rubbish he won’t and we’ll send him back.

Bad attitude, not dress sense.
