Just think it's a bit too much money to pay to a guy who is only very useful in very specific scenarios.
But Mara, the thing is, I can't seem to find a player that does what Rashy is bad at around the same price range. So about 10-14m range.
Nico - He rejected us.
Diaz - Ya we broke.
Leao - We broke.
Gittens - Expensive and might have the same issue
Baena - He's more of a AM than a LW
Some of them that comes to mind for me will be:
Ben Seghir, Paixao, Almada. They may be in the same price range, but they also have that uncertainty. On top, they will have a 4-5 year contract guaranteed.
But I cant seem to find a player better than Rashy in Low blocks and doesn't cost us upwards of 20m+ year in FFP.
Good thing is, he's only here for a year, we have no obligations to pay him next year. And with a Camp Nou and 1:1 rule sorted, I am sure Fatporta would again try for a LW next summer, if Rashford doesn't pan out.
Yes it would have been better if his wages were around the 10m mark. But it is what it is, he's a short term solution, and if he improves, he can easily be a longer term one. But for now, he is a body that can occupy a spot on the pitch for at least 60 minutes a game. Which is what all I care about. Rotation and rest to our front players is the utmost necessity, and we have enough match winners that can carry Rashford's ass if needed. It won't be the other way round. And that's my and most posters' point here.
Its honestly a win win for us.
