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

[Demitri_C]

They should be paying us to take him.

This ^^^

Its going to take at least 3-4 weeks for him to get fit as well

Not fussed by this, arguably a positive. He’ll be phased in as a sub and then only selected on merit or if injuries dictate. Going straight into the side would justifiably annoy Ramsey or Watkins.

If we didnt have injuries or this was in the summer giving him more time to get fit wouldnt be so bad. But we need  players now esp now ollie looks injured.

Any novelty he might feel about the move will soon get tested when he's spending most of the day sitting on the M6.

There is nothing about this deal that benefits Villa. Rashford is a washed up player. Their version of Jack Grealish. He will be our new Micah Richards. Bleeding us dry until he crawls back to them at the end of this season. As above, he will hate the commute. If he was late for their training,  he will be absent from ours completely. He will not relocate from Manchester just for a short loan period. He will not want to commit the time to Uni's legendary video sessions. The biggest disaster is the wages we are paying him and a loan fee for taking him off their wage bill. This is utter madness.

If we'd signed Marcus Rashford on loan 3 or four years ago we'd have all had a hard-on for the idea, now there are understandable questions about his attitude people aint so keen. He obviously still wants to play and coming to VP isnt the worst he could have done so the rest is up to him. I'd love to know who is really behind this move and is UE really that keen because this just doesnt seem to be his type of deal. Time - and the goals scored column - will tell.

Can I trouble you for next week's lottery numbers.

The lottery numbers are not predictable. This Rashford deal is utterly predictable

He'd struggle to contribute less than Philogene so I guess you can put that in the positive column.  Can share some game time with Ramsey so we don't break him.

Still don't think it's a great signing, unlikely to contribute enough to justify the outlay and the money could probably have been used better elsewhere or on someone else (don't ask me who)

It's not a disaster though. An expensive short term punt.

We'll see.  No offence, but I trust Emery more than a grumpy fan on the internet.

You have might more joy if you ask Goldenballs.

Even Emery gets things wrong. Digne at centre back. Trying to play Duran and Ollie together. Signing Rashford. We all make mistakes. He just gets a lot more right than wrong. It's Monchi I worry about. His radar at the moment feels like a blind man with a dowsing rod.

[tomd2103]

I don’t think turning up late for training is a moral issue.

No, ripping off your employers and supporters of the club while earning a fortune has nothing to do with morals has it?  Doing very worthy charitable work hasn't always been a true reflection of a person's character has it?

After mulling it over, I'm firmly in the 'let's see' camp.  It could be just the move the lad needs to get himself and his career back on track, or it might be that he is too far gone and can't get himself going.  Not having to pay a loan fee means it's not a massive risk for us.

Either way, he deserves to be given a chance and the support of the fans when he gets here.

[JUAN PABLO]

even thou he has been frozen out this season and their manager saying he is a waste of space , still scored 7 goals . I wish Bailey had with all his minutes played .

[dave.woodhall]

He's a Villa player. Therefore he's great.
