Guy has been at Man United since he was 9 years old. He started off well, but as Man United became a mess post Fergie a lot of pressure was on his shoulders. Just getting away from that will be a huge relief I imagine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odd glimpse and impact, largely irrelevant, with high wages for seasons to come. Only fall back this time for Villa in short term, Asensio is a short loan. Barkley cost £5 million and was signed as a squad player. What were you expecting? I'd much rather have him as a backup than some of our options there right now.

BeloEmre Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 So thats Villa paying 70% of Rashfords salary and 100% of Asensios salary. Must be closer to £400,000 a week that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

midds Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Wouldn't touch Rashford with a bargepoll. He's 27 and looks like he's just given up on the sport, this is essentially his last chance and signing one more big contract. I've got a feeling he'll bust a gut for 3 months, trigger the deal, sign the contract and go back to his lazy ways of the last 2 years. I don't think he gives the first fuck other than sitting on his mega-wage until he officially retires aged 33 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronson333 Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 1 hour ago, St1pe said: I’ve always had a soft spot for Rashford. If they get him back to playing in a position he’s familiar with and he’s approaching it as a point to prove under Emery I reckon it’ll take off for him. If he gets back to what he can do £40m is cheap - wages maybe not so. If it doesn’t work he goes back to Man U. It’s a good risk/reward for me. Danger is he does a Coutinho, performs well on loan and then you buy him on big wages. Then drops off and you’re starting to do an Everton. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Just now, gdm said: Who? Longstaff maybe but there’s not another midfielder in our squad I’d rather have Barkley than Willock. I’m sure the £120m Villa have received from Saudi means they are fine from a FFP perspective. These short term deals look like they want an injection to push them back into a good European position this season and a big run in the CL Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

duo Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 2 hours ago, St1pe said: What a cracking deal that is for Villa. I am surprised Emery is keen on him - he's pretty downed tools for the last two years for his hometown club. Not quite displaying the best attitude.

Even if it is, that's what, 7 million quid or so between now and June? Worthwhile risk if even one of them performs for them between now and the end of the season and pushes them into Europe again.

The College Dropout Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Villa are losing legs in the league. They need something. this is par for Emery though. European success comes at the cost of league performance. They could go deep over there. A CL QF/SF + Any European football is a success imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
