Where would Elanga rank in this?

Like Elanga. In all three cases Eddie would need to work his magic as they each have lots to improve on.

Behind both. 

 

Although I never understand why we are supposed to dislike Elanga. He's a good player... just not worth the price that Forest would want.

 

Forest are likely to sell Hudson-Odoi so Elanga will be staying put.

[alexf]

Elanga suits Forest perfectly but against teams that would come to our ground and sit in, I don't think he has the technique and creative to unlock a defense. He's just incredibly useful on the counter attack. 

[HayDen Traces]

Wissa out of contract next summer? We should be all over that if so.

[tinoasprilla]

Wiissa too old for the fee I’d imagine

We should be looking for the future Wissa, we need to be finding these players when they are sub £15 million and paying low wages.

[Displayname]

Wissa would be a too expensive signing for a backup with limited resale value. Even on free transfer.

 

Rather get a young talent.

Really don't think he's anything other than a speed merchant

Madueke. Not a rumour, just a guess.

 

Chelsea are always willing sellers. He's 23. England international. Won't cost a fortune. Eddie will turn him into some player.

 

I also don't think he'd cost a fortune in comparison to others.

Does he ever play through the middle? I don't think so. Could be wrong.

 

That's the thing about Mbeumo; he offers cover for Isak.

Ex Man U right?

[Menace]

Some takes on here last few weeks have been absolutely crackers. Madueke ahead of Mbeumo, someone saying they wouldn't take Rashford for £3m. Vardy as back up. Bloody Nora.

His transfer fee wouldnt be the expensive part like.

This 100 %. Seems like a player who doesn't create much from static situations or play with his head up a lot.

Yeah, he'd be getting £3m from us every few months.

[Boey_Jarton]

Rashford on a three year contract for a low fee could still be a £40m+ commitment. We would likely make him our highest earner, and the deal could potentially drive up wages for other squad members.

 

It's still a significant risk, particularly for a guy that has questionable workrate and doesn't necessarily suit Eddie's style. 

 

Of course, if he could rekindle his 22/23 form it would be a no brainer, but that is questionable. 

[HawK]

Eddie Howe isn't signing Rashford in a million years, free or not

[r0cafella]

Rashford ticks very few boxes for us, signing him makes very little sense.

I think he's the perfect fit for us but I think you're being optimistic when you say he wouldn't cost a fortune. He also seems very 'London'. Not sure he'd fancy a move up north

[Geogaddi]

I wouldn't want Rashford anywhere near us , aside from being hugely overrated he's lazy as fuck and a few decent games for Villa hasn't changed that.

Thank fook. The issue isn't Manure (basket case as they are) it's him.

[SteV]

I do think Rashford can still be an excellent player in the right setup, as shown at Villa.

 

But that setup is absolutely not Eddie Howe’s Newcastle.

[Geordie Ahmed]

If we ignore the money aspect of it for a moment I genuinely think Howe could get Rashford playing to his best but the best of Rashford is on the left and we are more than fine in that position 

[Dr.Spaceman]

I don't think Rashford is ever getting back to his best. At Villa he was still doing similar stuff to what he was doing at Man Utd - difference being Villa are a much better side. His overall performance there was alright, nowt special when you look beyond the headlines. He had one or two excellent performances out of 14 appearances. At his best he seemed to be putting in those types of performances more regularly.

[The Butcher]

Rashford's lost that fire in his belly. It's all about the lifestyle for him now, imo. Once he leaves Man Utd he'll basically retire from the top level of football.

 

Be amazed if he doesn't end up in the US.
