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

[Hillbilly]

Looks like he bites his nails. Must be a nervous wreck.

[darren woolley]

I'm happy if Unai's happy.

[The Edge]

If someone  told me 12 months ago rashford would be coming villa i would have thought you were insane. Unbelievable

You’re happy with this?

Not really but he will get my 100 backing now he has signed. Hopefully  he will give  us the same on pitch and has a point to prove. He looks like he has put a little bit of timber which  i guess is natural having not played much football. Would be suprised if he starts vs spurs. Bench at best

Put on a bit of timber? I very much doubt that mate. He hasn't been injured and hasn't missed training as far as I know so while he may be not quite match fit having not played for the last month or so he will be in peak physical condition. Some of the crap being written about him on this thread is laughable. I believe he's about to ram the words of his detractors from Manchester down their throats and it will be great to see.

The only 'timber' I can see is on his shoulders and arms, and it's solid oak.

Is Rashford eligible to play for us in the CL? Likewise Asensio?

Yes.

[Somniloquism]

Everyone we sign this window is eligible, whether they will be registered to play is up in the air being as we only have three slots.

I'm assuming he will be having 9 or 10 shirt.

Interesting he says he is only here for a short time. Not” I hope to prove myself and hopefully sign permanently in the summer “

Oh well. I hope he gets his career back and track and  scores loads. Even if ifs a short term thing.

Difficult to say that when you’re owned by a different club.

According to John Townley the highest paid player is Martinez on £150k a week - I would imagine both our new loan signings will be on far more than that.

[Monty]

Unai does like a project doesn't he? Probably what brought him to try with Zaniolo, who's so similar to Asensio it's a little spooky (physical versatile leftfooted attacker who hasn't been the same since the injury). Obviously, Zaniolo didn't work out.

Rashford's a different level though, both in risk and reward. Nothing in the world would make me happier than him being awesome, scoring a bunch and being all-round excellent, and making that £40m look a steal and Man Utd even more a bunch of mugs than they do now.

Whilst I have my concerns about the deal, this isn't one of them. He might well be going back after the loan, he'd be daft to burn any bridges with ManU.

I don't blame him for that, it is only a loan.  He's got the right attitude, which is to do the best he can in the short time he's here.  Everything else will take care of itself from there.

I assume he's not cup-tied for the FA cup, given he hasn't been in Amorim's match day squads?
