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

[eamonn]

Werner, God, I forgot about him. Is he gonna play tonight ?

[Drummond]

I think Arsenal could definitely use him.

They could indeed, but then again you have to work for Arteta.

For a couple of months at least, maybe not by Xmas though.

Another one out for the season.

Got a feeling Rashford wouldn't be a success abroad, dunno why ...

[AV84]

I'm sure I read somewhere that he doesn't want to go to London.

[Mister E]

And then the other question is who comes in for him. Real Madrid, Barca, PSG, Bayern are well stocked in his position, Inter or possibly Napoli might be options. In this country I think you can rule out Liverpool or Man City, Newcastle again have Gordon and Barnes but might have a go, I'd think maybe Arsenal would look at him.

Depending on how next Wednesday goes, Spurs have a nice opening in the nominally-on-the-left-but-drifts-centrally position given Son's advancing years and Werner going back to Germany for being rubbish.

if Levy coughs the wages, I agree; unless London is a no-no for Rashy...

But if you have a straight choice between us in (say Europa), and Spurs in CL - would Spurs really be a more attractive offer?  Your joing a team that needs a complete rebuild - and a manager that is only there because of a Europa league win

[AV84]

There's talk Ange will be sacked even if they win, but regardless, I wouldn't want to go to a team where the manager who signed you could be sacked next week, or indeed a team where the manager has very little to do with the signings. We have a really good structure here when it comes to signing players, and the stability of knowing Uni will be here for the foreseeable.

[Beard82]

I think its most likely going to be limited by if we can afford him.  I think also the fact that FFP means we have to sell... which means you have to buy may well end in us buying him.

[eamonn]

Has Rashford got babbies? The camera panned to him with one bouncing on his lap.

[placeforparks]

think that was probably his nephew

[ozzjim]

Disappointed he wasn't doing the walk around on the pitch unless my eyes were still adjusting from the bloody sun in the lower Holte!

📲 Marcus Rashford on Instagram:

“Just a message of thanks to everyone here at Villa for what has (injury aside) been an incredible few months for me. It’s a really special club & I appreciated the way Villa fans embraced me with open arms from the 1st minute on the pitch. Manager, team & coaching staff have all been brilliant. I know it is a huge disappointment not to have made the Champions League which everyone worked so hard all season for, but I know this club & team will come back stronger.” 💜

[PaulWinch again]

Nice words from him - sadly he won’t be back, because he’s a cracking player.

[TopDeck113]

Thank you to everyone at Aston Villa for rehabilitating my reputation to the extent that I will now get a move to the big European club that I crave.
