His wages are how much?

No more than they were last time we signed him, and probably not much more than Sancho's.

And also the reason that we would potentially be signing a £60m player for £25m.

If we were to get him.

Indeed he is absolutely the quality level whereby signing an older player makes sense.

If the budget's there for Sancho in a Europa League year, it's there for Rashford in a Champions League year.

I would not say no to Rashford back. I just hope we can get the best out of both him and Watkins if we did.

Anthony Gordon has gone from being chased through the streets of Liverpool by his own fans, to signing for Barcelona. And all with terrible hair.

Fair play to the lad.

Funny as well given the endless bullshit transfer rumour mill with it's hierarchy of trusted sources that there hasn't been a single mention of this being in the pipeline before now.

If they prefer Gordon over Rashford for numbers touted they must be on drugs

Barca are trying to get his wages down. His agent proposed a reduction but over a 5 year deal but Barca don't want him until he's 33 so the only way to tie up the deal will be a reduced salary over probably 3 seasons. The exclusive window Barca have to sign him ends on June 30th so you'd expect any deal to happen either side of the World Cup.

Where/how much is the Gordon deal?
I’m sure I’ve read Rashford has (also) agreed personal terms with Barca.

I doubt Barca have the funds available to register Gordon and are probably just using him as bait somehow.

He comes across as a nasty person so I’m not unhappy about that.

Rashford's contract at Yanited has gone back up to its ridiculous max now that they've qualified for the CL and he didn't even play a part. What a guy/leech.

Barca know this and know Rashford wants to join them. They’re playing with Man U to reduce the fee.

I predict the next phase of negotiations will be Carrick bluffing he wants to keep Rashford.

They didn't have to offer him that money did they? It is also a case of ManU more likely to want him off the books now his wages have gone up to those levels. The main decision on whether he is a "leech" will be if he demands similar money wherever he goes or turns down any moves so he can sit for a final year on that income.
