Rashford

After announcing he was leaving in Jan we immediately got rid of him with a team paying most of his contract and agreeing a fee with us.

He is not going to be too difficult to ship. He is one of our most sellable players.
I truly hope you are right.
 
Where's the offer then? We're whoring him out left right center. If he's that good. Where's the offer?
Where is Osihmens offer? Why did he end up at Galatasaray and not even get a decent loan option? Rashford managed to get a decent loan at least.
Not saying Rashford is a steal and everyone wants him. Im saying he should be the same price as Oshimen

We're not talking about osimhen though. He's not the one officially listed

And in this very same forum people we're saying get osimhen for 60 and hopefully someone take rashie for 40

Of course he is. If the rumours are true they already have his replacement sorted in David. They're both in the exact same predicament, parent clubs don't want them, huge wages so lack off viable offers. Osimhen has Saudi written all over him he'll get the 300k after tax he wanted.

Don't know what we're going to do with Rashford though. He's obviously getting shipped out, probably another loan.

Yeah, I think you're right.

If the club are 100% behind Amorim, Rashford will he gone.

There wasn’t a loan fee. Villa picked up c 75% of his wages apparently (so about £175k per week).

I don’t think it will be easy to sell him permanently this summer. My suspicion is it will be a year loan somewhere on similar terms to the Villa deal - Barcelona, Arsenal or Villa again would be my guesses.
 
He will stay irrespective of result on Wednesday

Definitely staying regardless.

Form continues and we get to Nov/Dec, that’s a different matter

Yeah would even say October

Not to derail the thread but he hasn't shown that he deserves to be kept on, and it could be exactly like keeping ETH, sacked by November with another new manager coming in. Rinse and repeat.

I really like him though but lets be realistic.

They are not ging to fire him, lets be realisitic.

Ive not heard of any journalists blaming him for the situation at all. Just impatient fans.

Back to rashford, a few articles on BBC gossip from spainish outlets state that hes willing to take a paycut to go to barcelona. Though barcelona want a loan with option to buy.

How can you not give some of the blame to him, he has shown nothing to suggest next season or the season after will be any better.

Rashford will end up on loan again or the club will be forced to lower the asking price to £30m or even £20m due to his ridiculously high wage.

It’s not exactly the same because Eth had 3 summer windows by the time he was sacked, and Amorim has had 0.

He won’t get sacked.

Exactly. Amorim got royally screwed by being forced to join the circus mid-season. You have to give him a summer window + pre-season to have the chance at starting a season properly.
 
I haven't been following his progress but I'd still be fairly surprised if we got any fee for him along with 100% of his wages covered

And the club is languishing in the bottom half by October/November, then what? What has Amorim shown so far to be trusted with next season? He has been truly dreadful.

Can't they pull another lever to make it happen
 
So, which clubs are actual possibilities?

Italy:
Inter - maybe, but 40m+wages? Italian clubs are known for being cheapskates.
Napoli - They seem more interested in Garnacho.

England:

Spurs - maybe if they get CL. Son is not great these days, their economy is overall fine.
Aston Villa - From the media it sounded like they were a bit strapped financially last season. Spend 130m euro this season, but gained 212m euro from big sales and got CL income. I think they're a real possibility if they get CL again this year.
Newcastle - A bit thin on the wings if you ask me. Must be on the lookout for someone.
Chelsea - Nah. Would have entered already.
Forest - Maybe on a loan and a loan fee if they get CL. Elanga and Wood are doing good but they need width and quality.

Spain:
Barca - No way, and I think Rashford knows it too, now that it hasn't happened the last 2 windows
Atletico - Already bought a lot last season for similar places.

Germany:
Bayern - Nah
Leverkusen - Maybe if they sell Wirtz, but it's a big chance to take on such a player
Dortmund - They don't spend that big.

Saudi Arabia:
Don't think Rashford himself would like to go there.

Essentially it's Villa, Spurs or Newcastle if the price is 40m+wages. If we drop the price to 20m, then it opens up to more clubs marked orange.

I don't think any of those clubs would break their wage structure for Rashford. We will probably have to pay him off to get him off the wage bill. We stand to make very little from selling Rashford either way sadly.

It's hard to disagree. I think that's why his price is 40m too and not 20. Basically so we can pay him off. 40m also works much better with financial regulations, so we can buy more.

40m is not a bad idea, if we can just communicate to the potential clubs that we're willing to pay him off, so they don't have to break their wage structure too much. Also a paycheck here and now makes Rashford more incited to go.

Yeah his wages are easily the biggest stumbling block
 
If we don't win the Europa then Amorim will be gone, in my opinion.
I'd be shocked considering INEOS have done nothing but communicate that this season is a write off and insisted that he be as stubborn as he wants as he isn't going to be judged on results after being hired midseason

Honestly, regardless of whether you want him fired or not, it would be far more alarming if he was sacked just because it would signal further that INEOS have no clue what they really want in terms of a manager and can't come to a decision on whether they want to take everything as a "process" or try to fix things quickly.
 
I'm struggling to see where he ends up.

All the talk is he wants Barcelona - but I can't see it.

Barca are stacked with attacking talent and notoriously crippled financially. Plus finances aside, Rashford is a million miles off being a big team player these days. Barca are a press heavy team and I cannot see Rashford fitting into it. He'd drive the Barca fans mental, just like he has here.

Rashford see's himself as a big club player, but no big club is touching him. Barca, Real, Inter, Bayern, PSG. Villa is about his level but any sort of club around the lower end of top 4 to mid table prem simply will not cough up his wages in full and a decent transfer fee.

Arsenal, Chelsea, Newcastle, Spurs wont take him

He won't feature for us under Amorin at all - may have to endure some of his wages and get rid on loan
 
Would love Sancho and R...(bloody day job getting in the way of my Cafe ramblings, let me continue)...ashford's situations to be sorted before June 30th as it would give the PSR accounts more room to play with.

That will be the worst scenario for all parties involved, but I can definitely see it happens. Rashford won't accept any salary cut for the remaining of his United contract.

It’s only really a bad option for United. For any club loaning him, they get a Rashford with an incentive to push himself for the season and Rashford gets to play for a club probably better set up for him and game time before what might be his last World Cup. United would obviously prefer him off the books completely but that might not be an option.
