    Yeah but he outscored Rashford, as did Callum Wilson, that's my point. Is Wilson going for 100m? Taking into account his older age. Clinging to one anomalous season where he scored far more goals than before or ever will again is desperate behaviour. Ironically what you castigated jamrock for...

    I didn't say Ronaldo was all PR - but he does have an insane PR team. Obviously still a great player and miles better at his peak than Rashford will ever be. I don't know why you keep bringing up Raphinha as I have never even mentioned him - NEITHER are good enough. You're the one who invented...

    Keane is a moron and terrible pundit though. Using him to give credence to your opinion is always a slippery slope. United put together some nice moves in the first half. In the second they resorted to long pumps into the channels and getting in behind with pace. Nothing wrong with that but it...

    You said Toney is a CF, I took it as an insinuation that it is easier for a CF to score than LW. A lot of people say that, and it isn't true. If that is not what you meant then fair enough, but not sure why you needed to bring up Toney's position in that case.

    Anyway, Rashford will play out his entire career at Man U never winning the PL or the CL, and guys like you will be saying when he's 50 and long retired that he could have been one of the best, if he just had applied himself/worked harder/if he didn't split with hid gf/if everything went right...

    He isn't, not at all. He's nowhere near good enough for a team that aspires to be one of the best teams in the world, definitely not as a starter. Jammy is just getting carried away and seems to have a weird soft spot for Man United - he was defending their performance against City the other day...

    11 - Raphinha

    Nah you're well wide of the mark. I know his peak is higher than Raphinha but he's still not good enough for one of the best teams in the world - neither is Fernandes. That's why having Rashford and Fernandes as your best players gets you nowhere near the title a la Man U. And you're...

    Also, I notice you said Toney is a CF, like it's a hindrance and disadvantage for Rashford to play LW in comparison. When the truth is, Rashford would score less at CF as he doesn't have the tools to play the position, unlike Toney. Rashford is essentially a left striker and coming in from the...

    Fair enough. It's a game of opinions. I am diametrically opposed to yours in this argument, and given Rashford's career so far, I'd say it backs me up far more than it does you. You even admit it would be a punt/shot in the dark. Barca have enough financial problems without paying money for...

    He is, but Callum Wilson scored more than him, admittedly decent too. But nobody is paying 100m for Callum Wilson. Barca away was one of his best performances that season - maybe that is the one you remember and are extrapolating to his entire season. But I can assure you he spent a lot of...

    Fair enough. I rate him far less than you, and given his mediocre technique, and the fact he's been wank in his career far more often than he's been good, I don't think I am harsh in doing that.

    17 goals in the league, 1 in the FA Cup, 6 in the League Cup (one of which was a phantom goal in the final) and 6 in the EL. So basically, even in his best season he was a cup player, and couldn't break 20 goals in the league. And given stats are all he has, that's pretty poor.

    11 - Raphinha

    Too much wanking over stats. I watched him the entire season and his general play was still absolutely abysmal. And seeing as you love stats, he scored less goals in the league than Ivan Toney. Scored a lot in the cups and EL. Plus like I say it was ONE SEASON. It was an anomaly statistically...

    Anyway not in the mood to argue - just looking here quicky before I head out. But having Rashford instead of Raphinha is just swapping one set of problems for another and exactly the type of thing Barca's board shouldn't be doing but likely would if they had the chance.

    LOL is he fuck. You're getting carried away with the hype - I notice you seem to have a positive spin on anything Man United often. Even at his 'best' his all-round game, first touch is an abomination, and he's at his 'best' one season out of five. Even at his best his general play is abysmal...

    Rashford is pish in my very humble opinion. Has one good game in 15, even when he scores his general game is rubbish, and can't play against low blocks. One of the most overrated players I have seen in almost 40 years watching football. Total bluffer. Not that I rate Raphinha either.

    No problem. Just you're usually one of the go to guys for watching different leagues and knowing a variety of players and that. Plus you were in the Ligue 1 thread so figured you might have some knowledge. but it is cool. Let's see how they do this season.
