Can you give me a player that cost us that much a year, and has similar quality/impact.

Neither does Rahsford, it's all in your head.

And it's kind of tiresome that you want names that you'll shit over. If someone wrote about someone like Roony a year ago you would make fun out of him but in reality he's a better player than Rashford for a fraction of what Rashford is costing us. There are tons of better players then fucking Rashford in world's football, we have well paid scouts who should locate them.

100% agree.

Rahsford is paid like in top 3 left wingers in the world, yet he plays like not even in top 30.

1st - Rashford is one the highest impact players in our squad. 18G/A in 1650 minutes. So that's 1G/A every 90minutes. Only Raphinha & Lewa has a higher G/A per 90 minutes than Rashy in our squad. Mind you, this is his first year, and that too on loan. On top he is the 2nd highest minutes in our squad out of all the 6 forwards. So he is doing exactly the thing he was loaned for.

2nd - About roony , or others signing. You are making heavy assumption here. Where have I said i will shit all over, or show me a post where I have or inclined to do. All my point is give me a name that will cost around 15-17m per year ammortisation. I don't think we can get any with this level of impact.

Show me yours where you have confidence on this player in such an early stage? Before making assumptions at least try to learn about a posters belief.

TheStig · 2026-01-13T12:02:13+0000

I don't care about posters belief, I don't really remember who thinks what except a few exceptions. I'm here to talk about Barca, I don't care with who, I don't know any of you. I'm just careful not to engage with the troll/retard squad. Sorry about asumptions, it just looked you want a name of some random winger that you'll make fun of as it's not as big name as Rashford. I could be wrong.

My point is that signing Rashford would cost us around 130-150 mil€ and there are loads of players who will play better or at least equal for a fraction of that money, Roony is a good example but he plays in a position where he won't get minutes. Something similar for LW next season and invest all the funds we have towards defence and striker.

How are you coming up with those numbers?
If we just go with the salary he has now (which I believe is high and I think we will try to reduce it) + the 30m buyout, it amounts to 100m in 5 years.

My point is for the past two summers, I haven't been able to find a LW that's cheaper than this in the long term.
Nusa was close, but we will have to fork out 60m+ for him. On top he is a bit injury prone.

LW market for a reliable player seems to be quite dire. It's either an unknown or injury prone player, or expensive.
Nico was the closest one. Not anymore.

khaled_a_d · 2026-01-13T14:08:22+0000

Barca won't sign Rashford on 5 years contract, it hasn't happen for any player at his age even during renewals.

It will be either 3 or 4 years.

Also important that the headline about Rashford was misleading. Deco just met him, then speculation that so far the plan is to buy him.

It isn't that the decision is made and we will pay 30M for him for sure. It is was more of " hey, keep the good work and we will make this permanent."

But this fanbase was mad at a nice gesture in super cup when MATS made Araujo lift the cup, so it is understandable there is a panic over a click bait.

30 mil to United + 5 years x 20 mil salary = 130 mil€

Even if he would really lower his salary (doubt) it's still at least 100+. We shouldn't pay a backup LW that much in our situation.

Well since you mention him someone like Nusa could be cheaper, younger, better and with much higher ceiling, maybe he would even replace Rapha in a couple of years. According to capology he earns 2 mil gross and even if we double that we would be better off than with Rashford

60 mil to RB + 5 x 4 mil = 80 mil€

Much better. So why Rashford?

He has benn just spamming crosses, does not score goals...Dribbling is non existing and has work rate is low, we saw against RM that he is gassed after 2 sprints.

I wanted Nusa earlier too. And I am up for him.
Would want him ahead of Rashy at this moment. Jury is still out.

Only problem is don't think the club wants to pay for 60+ million.

Nusa is not worth 60 million and i don’t believe he would sign for 4 million gross for his next contract when there are PL clubs who pay 8 or more. This is dreaming.
That doesn't change the fact that Rashfords fee 30+ his current salary is too expensive.

Just sign him permanently if he lowers to about 10 million gross, but this wont happen so he will leave

I am sure we will try to reduce his buyout.
Ideally I would like him to cost 20m+variables plus salary around the range of 10-11m.
Thats reasonable for him.

ManYoo are forced to sell him. So we can low ball. And Rashford has to cut more than 2m of his current wages. Its too high for a backup.
Come up to Ferran's level and we good.

Yes but his salary is not 14 million now. Its his barca salary for the loan. At united he gets about 17-20 million gross (with bonus) and i am sure he won’t accept 11 million gross so if he doesnt agree to reduce that amount he should go back and we will never pay that for a sub

khaled_a_d · 2026-01-13T17:46:19+0000

Ben Jacobs just said Barca won't pay that 30M and will open negotiations when they try to keep him.

Since he won't get those bonuses anyway, it is 17M salary then.

He has 2 years contract there. So, that is 34M remaining in contract. How much does he expect to get after that? Assuming he continues at Manu (or getting loaned out) for the next 2 years, killing all his value while collecting his pay cheque.

I can see a 13-15M deal for 3 or 4 years long contract being satisfactory for him.

If we can get Manu to accept around 20M, it will be less than 20M annual cost (salary + amortization) which is likely less than a new highly rated signing like Nusa (60M on 5 years amortization + at least 10M annual salary, most likely more).

Richard.H · 2026-01-13T18:20:47+0000

Not entirely convinced yet. That $30 mill can be used for defensive reinforcements

malvolio · 2026-01-13T18:24:23+0000

I think we shouldn't get him, for any price. Just the type of player you'll have problems offloading in a year's time.
