I don’t get the clamour for us to buy Rashford - he was excellent against PSG at Villa Park, but apart from that was he that good?

Also if we sign him then Watkins would be pissed off as he took Ollie’s place in the team on quite a few occasions

Ollie was interviewed recently and spoke very highly of Marcus. How he was incredible in training and how in that particular game against PSG that he didn't deserve to come on and take his place in the second half.

Also, as good as Ollie was towards the end of the season (and he was very good indeed after that last International break), imagine if we had someone like Rashford to play when Ollie was struggling earlier in the season?

I also don't get the "he wasn't that good" comments from people.  He played 14 games before he got injured, and scored, I think, four goals and had, I think, three assists? That would equate to 25-ish goal involvements over the season.  Not spectacular by any means, but we looked a much better team with him in it, I thought.

I definitely felt we lost a lot of our threat against PSG when he went off.

Yeah, unless he was physically fcuked, it seemed a strange one. He had PSG wobbling. Unai's biggest in-game mistake?

Don’t he feel his hamstring a bit and was bought off as a precaution? Seem to recall the injury then worsened and he missed the last 6 or so games of the season?

Rogers scored once while Rashford was on the pitch, which is moderately QI.
