I agree Bo, I think there is huge potential to be unlocked.

Can't wait to see him come out that tunnel in a Villa shirt, don't get me wrong I hated the bloke when he emerged in that red shirt 😊 such a threat, such is football. 👍

Yep, under Emery, with Tielemans passing, the power of Rogers' running, and Watkins etc there too, then I think he can have some fun.

We could well be looking at a new Villa for the second part the season.

I'm genuinely quite excited about the prospect of our attack for the rest of the season. We have options that we've just not had. Diaby going, and Bailey's lack of form took away some of our unpredictability and threat, the added players seem confident and hungry to play. Emery  will have told them all they have a big part to play, that he wants to finish Top 4/5 and win a trophy.

Rashford has that ability, moving to us suggests he has the ambition.

He is used to winning at Villa Park. That's a good start.

Best of luck Marcus.

It is exciting but I just remember that clip of him barely following the opposition around at Luton ( might have been Barkley ) last season

There was another shocker away at Newcastle. I think it was Jamie Redknapp went to town on him at half time, he didn't try a leg. Playing on left wing too. There was no excuse.

For football reasons alone, I don't think it's going to work, I don't see any tactical setup that is going to give him that spot high on left wing he likes. Similar to Coutinho, I also think when the fire is gone from a player it is very hard for it to consistently return. It isn't one season with Rashford where he has downed tools, it's 3 of the last 4 and maybe 4 different managers in that time.

But Rashford has a nice start opening up for him with a cup game v Spurs, Watkins out and a bit less pressure as Asensio also urgently needs to get his career on track too. Best of luck to him.

I honestly think he will love it here once he has settled in, and we will quickly see the player he was a few years ago.  The contrast between us and Manure could not be greater at the moment - we've got a strong, settled and happy squad under a progressive coach, a club that seems to be working to a clear plan and a support base enjoying where we are without the sense of entitlement he has been playing under throughout his career up to now.

I've thought this a fair bit recently, but if you are an ambitious and professional young footballer then Villa is an incredibly attractive prospect at the moment.  We are playing at the very highest level, with one of the best coaches in the world but without the circus surrounding us you get elsewhere.

Think he'll do OK but he'll have to something remarkable for us to make it permanent. The transfer fee isn't too bad, but I don't see with our PSR concerns him doing well enough to justify us paying his typical salary.

If he does something remarkable, he'll go somewhere else. £40 million isn't a big deal these days

Well, if he wants a move like Barca to happen, then he has to have a few good months in the shop window.
