14 - Marcus Rashford

[serghei]

Well, we need depth upfront but I would stay away from him.

Would be a massive mistake buying a player who clearly has big problems with motivation. He'll be ok this season (if we can accept inconsistency) because he wants to prove himself and possible even get into the WC squad (very unlikely though) but if we sign him permanently on a big fat contract he'll return to his old self.

Hard pass. He has ability to score a great goal out of nothing, but if you look at his entire game, there's many moments where he should do more, press more, close down some spaces and he just doesn't do it. Either he is tactically undisciplined and doesn't really understand that forwards have an extensive list of duties to cover off the ball also, or just purely lazy.

I would maybe reconsider him if he bangs some great goals at clutch moments this season. And if his wage would be cut down by a lot. I respect some golazos at the right time, those can be extremely valuable for the team, think Gareth Bale at Madrid.

And there won‘t a striker you get for 30 million with a similar quality (but on striker position) as rashford.

If it's about spending, for example, 15-20 million in salary for Rashford or a CB like Guehi or Upamecano, I would also be in favor of signing a defender, but I have no idea if any of the mentioned players are even want to go to Barca.

A striker who doesn’t press also is a very weak player when it comes to ball control/touch. No thanks.

Few people already said it, if he aint pressing properly while he is motivated for World Cup reasons, if signed he will fall back to his old ways again. Very overrated player.

I don't get the criticism. Think he does alright. Seen some comments on his lack of press. Compared to who exactly?

Rashford is solid. Unless people expected Rivaldo, Ronaldinho or Neymar on that wing. With no budget.

I expect a mini Raphinha in Rashford

Problem is he's trying to be Yamal. Which is not what we need

Should make more runs and cut the dribbling bs. He's not very good at it

We'll see what he is made of once Raphinha is fully fit. Doubt Rashford has a spot as a 9 as long as Ferran and Lewa are available.
