    I have to wonder if those who complained about the Jorginho and Kai deals are the same complaining about the Rashford links.

      Honestly I worry about it. I think he’s fine if he’s cheap but he peaked young and then has plateaued since, I can see it working out but I worry. On the other hand from everything I’ve heard he’s a good person, at least?

        Wages are sky high though. I like Rashford, but he is a big risk and will have little resale value if it fails.

        Still I was completely wrong about Jorginho, so Im just gonna trust that the club knows what they’re doing.

              I didn’t see it lol. I mean I can see it working but our left wing is the most stacked spot on the list. And I doubt they’re planning on using him as a striker or RW cuz he’s not good enough to displace the starters there while being too good and expensive to be a bench player.

                Yeah, I don’t understand it either. Rashford makes no sense. I’d much prefer that we bring in an out-and-out striker, and then bring in a separate right winger (it promote I’ve from our academy? Surely we have one of our two decent options we can’t try there?).

          If we pay him what we pay Eddie and make him a reclamation project I’m all for it. Otherwise I have massive concerns.
