I appreciate the sentiment of getting Garnacho on the left and reinforcing the right instead, but you are aware that you just named three players with about 30 PL matches between them this season, right?Garnacho to the left, somebody like Andringa/Olise/Neto on the right, depends on what type of player we are after - we'd get shagged for money as usual though. It always sets the players up to fail.
I missed out "PL" before goal contributions - my bad. As I said, I'd rather Rashford hit form again with us, but my point is more that if we got good money for Rashford (and we really ought to be getting very good money if he does want to go) then we might find that the left wing position could be filled by a player around the level of a Martinelli if we could then strengthen other areas. Garnacho being one such candidate.Did you miss out a zero here? Martinelli was 20GA behind Rashford last year. He’s also behind him this season, playing for one of the most attacking teams in the league, who have 25 more league goals than we do (nearly double).
We've seen how hard it is for us to attack with much conviction when Rashford does go off the boil, so I can understand the point of view that we could move him on and strengthen the overall quality of the squad. Him going off the boil for the second season out of three does make it something worth considering.
