Marcus Rashford

[Horatio]

The lowered salary will also take pressure off of him.

 

[Maradona37]

I think he will have a stellar loanspell.

If he plays himself into getting a barca contract however, that’s nomansland. Could come falling down in a heartbeat.

Fair enough.

There's things to like about it and also reasons to be sceptical. Like I say, having watched him for many years I could type out some of both, but not really in the mood right now.

I definitely think it could turn out well. My worry for Barca is he plays poorly and kicks up a fuss at not being selected over (for example) Raphinha in big CL games or clasicos. But that's worst case scenario and may not happen.

Also @malvolio didnt call him bum so far which is a good sign!

Tbf he is a bum. But I always liked how he put power behind his shots.

It's a shit transfer nonetheless. Who thinks otherwise is a lunatic.

 

[Porque]

With the talk of Virgili and DRO joining the tour, both vying for the left, I wonder if the plan will be to have these two duel it out for that LW dribbler spot.

Rashford will do a job, mostly for Lewy, but he isn't the Luis Diaz ball to feet tight space dribbler that we profiled.

Makes me wonder if we will still be in the market for a sub 30m dribbler, with some big league and euro experience.

Nusa?

 

[Tyler]

He played really well at Villa. Anyone that thinks he won't be good at Barcelona, having better players around him, are deluded. The way you guys, Flick, likes to play, he'll cook if he gets the chance.

You're clueless. Just saying.

Nusa?

Have a hunch that if our stadium shit got sorted by early August. We might be in for Nusa.

Or in January window.

Unless DROgili super impress, can see us casting.

A bum that doesn't get into one of United's worst teams. Get the fuck outta here ya clown

I understand your point, and I do like you as a poster and have had some pleasant exchanges with you.

It could work out that way. But it doesn't always work out that playing with better players leads to better individual performances. Sometimes less pressure at a smaller club, or everything going through you as a player, can help.

Like I say, I like you as a poster, and am trying to take a balanced position on Rashford, so hope we can keep it respectful.

 

[Skalman]

Should literally kept Fati if this the level we are looking for. At least he is one of out own.

 

[Skalman]

You have to work with what you have. This is the best we can do and we still have to figure out registration.

If this is what we have to work with then our situation is truly shit and we can keep dreaming of another CL

 

[Skalman]

Who do you suggest the club sign?

Fucking nobody if this is the level, this guy isnt better than Fati, if you think so then think again

I see what you getting at, but if rashford is used for Lewa, where does that leave Torres, who's shown this season that's the only position he offers real value in.

 

[zanela]

He's our resident good boi. We let him of the hook here and there.

Yes he has a heart of gold. @zanela he probably didn't realise you were an adult woman. He can be a bit hyper and not pay attention, lol.

I think my username is self-evident but I can see how some westerners might not be as familiar. I'm actually more relaxed about such matters now than when I first joined in 2009. I was the first active female poster and initially had to navigate a lot of sexism on board (so the current predicament is minor). I remember there was a detective thread in Caffe Catalonia where boys would assemble to investigate if I really was a female given my feisty temperament and serious football posts. lol Gradually there was a degree of acceptance and respect which paved the way for other female members having a relatively easier induction (and I say that with utmost humility). Some of them even became mods but for some reason Bojan always overlooked me for the mods role Perhaps because I was friends with some "heavyweights" of the forum he didn't get along with. He's also gone on to become more composed and laid-back. The only other veterans I recognize is Jamrock, ZenI, and a couple of others that escapes my mind for now.

This forum has had some great female members (Petra, XMGirl, Maria, Suckabov, Flavia, etc.) and I miss them sometimes. I'm sure they have moved on in their life but still continue to browse this forum anonymously. I have been absent from this forum for some stretches of period but unlike others I can never really go away perm as this place holds memory of my late friend Petrinha. So it will always remain special to me.

Sorry for going off-topic. But you all got a dose of interesting trivia from the past.
