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

[BC Villain]

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

I think that's an exaggeration.

Moyes, Van Gaal, Mourinho, Solskjaer, Ten Hag and Amiron have all had problems with him.  He's very much in the Gabby Agbonlahor mode - the poster boy for their decline.  Emery has built a brilliant team spirit here - do we really need this in the dressing room?

When I think of Unai Emery tapping his head and talking about mentality, I don’t think of Marcus Rashford.

As SaddVillian had posted earlier, if we wanted the player, we could have got him 28 days ago. This strikes me as a move of desperation, born out of a failure to land our preferred targets…not for the first time with Monchi leading on the dealings.

We couldn’t afford the wages 28 days ago.

Hardly had the funds to make it happen until Duran and Buendia left. But agreed, there was no way Rashford was top of any list at start of the month.

Could simply be a case of 28 days ago he was 3rd or 4th on our wants list. Others didn't happen so he's moved up the list.

Great for us, great for him. If and when it works out, there's no turning back.

Yeah, well we had 2 strikers at the start of the month, both who were - or considered themselves to be - a starter. Loaning him at that point would’ve been mental.

With the champions league money we likely could.

Champions league dosh we probably could.

In the last 28 days we've banked approx £80m and are a striker down. Things and main targets can change.

[Dave]

Earlier in the month he was rumoured to be deciding between Barcelona, Napoli, Juventus and Dortmund.

Maybe we weren't his first choice more than he wasn't ours.

[85kota]

a decent man.  If his head is on straight.

This is it. Is he a decent man or is he a lazy arse?

As far as football goes he really looks like a lazy arse.

I'm not arsed if we win The Socially-Conscious Cup.

Why am I not surprised.

Presumably you missed when he was left out of the squad for turning up late for training.

[Dante Lavelli]

I’ve seen the future and a few of the poster that are spitting feather right now are going to apoplectic when Rashford moves to Barcelona this summer having scored ten goals, won us the FA Cup and helped secure fourth place.

That we didn't win the CL as well shows what a disaster his signing will be.

[Demitri_C]

Woke ?

I dont think anyone has mentioned anything  about that. Just utter nonsense and not related to why some fans myself included are not keen on him coning here

Anyone know cone-tract details?

Lol good one percy. I walked right into that

[Smirker]

Paying his 325k per week wages in full is madness.
