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

[PaulWinch again]

His ability to burn full backs is so good to watch. He massively adds to us

[Mellin]

Sorry to be that guy (I'm not really), but it's time to start quoting people from the first 50 pages of this thread. Excellent player. Excellent signing.

Don't believe everything you read in the press.

[Smithy]

I thought he was great, and though not everything came off, he has so much ability that it worries defenders and creates space for others.  I don't care if this is just him putting himself in the shop window for the summer, so far he's been great, and I hope it continues. Two assists today, in just 45 minutes.  He's a massive asset!

[DrGonzo]

Has he moved to Birmingham yet?  That is the only thing the haters have left to beat him with.  Looks immense, direct running and ability to spot a pass... whoop de feckin' whoop!

Don't believe everything you read in the press.

I've been checking Man U forums the last few games just to see what they're saying, and to be fair to them most seem willing to acknowledge that he wasn't the problem at Man Utd. Some still seem petty about the whole situation, but most seem to know the club is a toxic mess at the moment and the fact most of the "problem" players are having an instant resurgence for their new clubs just proves that for them.

It would be nice to think Rashford will get back to where he was a few years ago and want to stay with us, and we can afford to keep him, but even if he keeps on like he's started and then is gone again in a few months, I think we're going to do really well out of this deal. And I hope he gets something out of it too.

Nicely put mate. Agree with every word.

[BoVillan esq]

If Rashford goes anywhere it will be Barca, can they afford him in there present state?, if we can give Rashford a Cup Final or Champions league spot for next season, or both, why leave.

[Olneythelonely]

Think he might even get a 5/10 from brontebilly tonight

[Mellin]

Yeah, perpetual motion. Martinez, Kamara, Rashford, Asensio, Disasi.  Need to give them all reasons to stay. Success breeds success, blah, blah, blah.

But he’ll probably take 1 point off him for being uppity.

[manic-road]

He looks happy, Marcus has made a big impact since putting on the Villa shirt.

[Mellin]

Don't take on the man, brother. You'll get punished.

Keep going, Marcus. Look good in claret and blue.

[Toronto Villa]

He’s a fabulous footballer. We all got a bit conned by what was written about him and his performances for England more so than Man U. But things weren’t right and it’s clear he is breathing fresh air. Not the toxic shit at his former club. A manager and a club with supporters that want him to do well and succeed.

[Mellin]

We all? No, some. It was frustrating as fuck and I'm going to be a massive cock about it.

I’m talking about before he joined us. What was said about him in the media, by many of their fans, and very much members of their club. There were some who had doubts when he joined us. And they were entitled to them. He’s proving a lot of people wrong now.
