Rashford is a (£17M a year) busted flush!

When you put it like that, the cost for Rashford does not get anywhere near balancing the risk. He's rumoured to have a bad attitude atm so we'd be regressing to the type of player we had before (PEA)
More chance than not that he'll never regain anything near previous form.
You'd be better off buying Ferguson for £20m. or taking a risk on any youngster as they'll have at least some resale value.

This is such a backward way of looking at people, its no wonder there is no flair in football anymore, its no wonder its robotic football played in patterns and no individuality.
I rate managers like Harry Redknapp, because he saw past the attitudes and looked at ability. He bought cast off after cast off and played magnificent football at West Ham, Spurs and Pompey. Look at the mavericks he signed, players other managers wouldn't touch, won a European trophy at West Ham and the FA cup at Portsmouth !
When being a manager meant managing a football club.
I don't care about Rashford's attitude, under the right manager he will be brilliant.

The important thing is we can win ugly and grind out results when things aren't going our way. That's the bit of difference from the late Wenger era.
We forget that we had to battle tremendous injustice and injury crisis and still are mounting challenges.
