I would.Let's say we could sell Rashford for the same amount we could buy Grealish, you would not do it?

No, that should have already come before risking more injury playing for United.That's true. But if he's saying he's been injured all season (and needs surgery), surely that should come before risking more injury playing for England?
No, I really wouldn't. Grealish is undoubtedly the better player, but Rashford has every chance of being even better.Let's say we could sell Rashford for the same amount we could buy Grealish, you would not do it?
This is where I have a different opinion. I think he has the talent but is not used properly. He has the ability to beat players, to shoot from long range, cross, pass and pace too. It is the application that is the problem for me. I do not think we need to upgrade him. I feel he needs to be coached to use his talents the right way. If his decision making gets better in when to pass, cross, shoot or dribble for sure he can become a top class player.Good post and I completely agree.
I think it's excellent to see Rashford's off the field work making a positive difference and I don't personally believe it's had a detrimental affect on his game. But as far as Rashford the footballer is concerned, I do believe he's a good player but I also believe he can be upgraded on. He doesn't have the potential of a Ronaldo or Giggs, who were players who could cause untold damage against a high line or deeper defensive block without assisting or scoring, due to their superior ability in the build up phase compared to Rashford. But that doesn't mean he's a bad player but rather someone who I believe can be upgraded upon which can only benefit the club and us the fans.
For me the game is about the collective and how many chances we create and goals we score over the course of the League season as a team. So if we have a player in the team who enhances the build up phase, which results in us playing a more fluid game both against a higher and deeper defensive line, and also contributes in the defensive phase of the game. We would score more goals as a team over the course of the season imo, whilst playing a more controlled game both offensively and defensively.
You really would sell Rashford so that we can buy Grealish?Let's say we could sell Rashford for the same amount we could buy Grealish, you would not do it?
Or maybe don't call someone's injury a scam when they have surgery plannedTo warn any new posters, this thread got me banned for two days because I claimed to believe that his injury was a scam. So please refrain from opinions that might seem negatively polarizing.
Do you think you’re narrating?Also really enjoying this other one saying RedCafe is falling prey to the #woke SJW Boogeyman because he got banned for saying an injury is a SCAM.
Preach, lad! They're all blind, only you can convince them to take the red pill
1. Post opinions such as:
2. Get rightly rinsed for posting nonsensical opinions
3. When given multiple rebuttals to nonsensical opinions, for example:
fall back on inane "arguments" such as:
4. Get rinsed all around the forum yet again
5. Claim the people rinsing you are simply triggered because you boldly dared to do what no poster within the Cult of Marcus Rashford has done and questioned the messiah, when it's actually just them calling you out for talking baseless nonsense about a good player
6. Be the victim
I’ve said I’m not the victim of anything. Beyond that I really don’t know what anything you said relates to nor do I feel obliged to reply to your every post directlyI love how that's the one post of mine you directly address.
Feel free to respond to this one now that you're here. Specifically, whether you still stand by the quotes.
Clearly. I didn’t think I was being ambiguous?That's a no, then

DailyMail says they believe he has one scheduled on his foot after the Euros - a lot of the article is gossip and not putting anyone on record.Or maybe don't call someone's injury a scam when they have surgery planned
2nd in the league for dribbles completed and 2nd in the league in beating numbers of players. Only Adama is ahead of him in both.Does anyone know where to find stats about how many players he took on and beat this past season? I say this because the amount of time he received the ball out wide turns back inside and pass it back is astonishing for a winger.
Second in the league for total dribbles, 5th in the league for succesful dribbles according to this : https://www.kickest.it/en/premier-league/stats/players/successful-dribbles2nd in the league for dribbles completed and 2nd in the league in beating numbers of players.

Second in dribbles completed as per fbref, which sources data from statsbomb.Second in the league for total dribbles, 5th in the league for succesful dribbles according to this : https://www.kickest.it/en/premier-league/stats/players/successful-dribbles
His dribbles success rate is about 50% which is also lower than most of the top ten.
Thanks for the stats. What are his shooting and passing stats in comparison if you don't mindSecond in dribbles completed as per fbref, which sources data from statsbomb.
Traore is first, Rashford and Anguissa are second, with same number of dribbles.
His dribble success rate is 53.7%, which isn't far from the success rate of
Mane, Sterling, Richarlison, Saka, Greenwood, Lucas, Maddison, Jota, Ziyech,
Better than Zaha, Pulisic, Salah, Pulisic, Mahrez, Pepe, Werner, Barnes, Havertz, Ferran Torres,
That should give a fair idea on where Rashford ranks. Attacking player for top teams who obviously will have less space will have close to 50-60% in dribble success rate.
Werner has 38%, as per you the much more technically brilliant Pulisic has 48%, Salah 50%, Mahrez 48%, Havertz 48%, Harvey Barnez 40%
Also some of the top dribblers in top 5 leagues
Neymar - 58%
Sancho - 55%
Mbappe - 46%
Ofcourse there are players with 60%+ too but 53.7% isn't bad at all for attacking player playing for big club.
That's too much work, just few for attacking players at big clubsThanks for the stats. What are his shooting and passing stats in comparison if you don't mind
Or you can spout more bs about your "Eye Test" and intentionally leave out stats for Rashford only in the list of players, then run away, wait for next day and post the same nonsense again.Wow with all these stats Rashford must be a truly world class player. There we were thinking his injuries were acting as a reason behind his dips in performances. But if he’s this good then maybe they’re helping and he should postpone surgery for as long as possible?
I’ve now completely changed my mind and cannot wait until the day after the start of the new season so I can buy a paper and read the stats that will tell me how well he played the day before.
But we can see from the stats he’s one of the top players in the world. Why have him miss any time? The stats prove there’s no impact on his performance levels, quite the opposite as they prove he’s just had the best season of his life. Operating at all when he’s in this form seems silly.If England progress in the Euro's Rashford could be with the squad until 12th July.If he does indeed need surgery he should take both foot and shoulder ops immediately after the tournament.He is going to miss all of our pre season and the start of the new season.Whilst we have cover,our summer signings may mean he has to fight to regain his place.

Given that no other method of judging how a player is doing exists other than reading the stats when they are released after a game I cannot see any possible reason why anyone would want him to have surgery and risk the lad at a time he’s in form of his life
Do the stats not show that over the last two years his ‘goal creation’ is as good as anyone’s?Expert at arguing imaginary points
Next time maybe mention what these numbers are supposed to reference. Anyways appreciate it. I'll find some advanced passing n shooting stats and post them later.That's too much work, just few for attacking players at big clubs

I think i covered most of the players from top teams.
Ofcourse you are arguing imaginary points and everyone knows that it's cute though, running away after posting incorrect stats, lie and then start the day fresh with more nonsense.Do the stats not show that over the last two years his ‘goal creation’ is as good as anyone’s?
Do they not show he’s scored the joint highest number of goals from open play this season as he’s ever scored in his career?
Are the stats not evidencing he’s posting numbers on dribbling that put him amongst the very best in Europe?
To hell with imaginary arguments I want to know which clueless idiot thinks this is a form we can risk by having him undergo surgery to fix an injury that if anything seems to be making him more awesome
Those are pass completion stats. Imo they are not of much use but you asked for it.Next time maybe mention what these numbers are supposed to reference. Anyways appreciate it. I'll find some advanced passing n shooting stats and post them later.
