It's not really the sort of place you go for a quiet soirée with a couple of friends. 
Nah, I think he will be gone in the summer if he doesn't sort himself out. If the new CEO wants to sort United out, the first thing he will be looking to fix is the culture. I reckon City would sell KdB tomorrow if he started causing problems for the dressing room.
As you said, this isn't Rashfords first rodeo and hes on silly money. The club will need to stop giving silly contracts to players and especially to players that don't deserve them. I'm sure I read something from Barrada along the lines of "players need to be signed and paid based on their talents" which sounds like a very thinly veiled dig at Uniteds frankly awful business of giving silly contracts to unproven players and even more silly ones to "quality" ones who magically forget they are quality soon after.

Only Bruno has got more G/A, of course we'd miss him...
I wanted him sold two years ago personally, but it would be a really hard sell now, only PSG could really afford him that might be interested. Who do we replace him with? Not many players out there that even come close to his output over his time with us.
Rashford is feast or famine as well. He banged them in last season... and then he didn't. His salary suggests he is one of the best players in the world. His output and attitude suggests he is a good player but nothing more. You cannot rely on him. At all.
I assume that's sarcasm?!
Half his goals have been penalties, one of which Fernandes gave him out of pity. He's also had 1 assist since August, 3 all season. 2 of which came against Forest. We'd definitely not miss him

He's scored 1 penalty, what are you talking about?
He's been poor this season but still one of our highest producers, your statement that we'd be fine without him has no basis in reality, even if you ignored the rest of his seasons for some reason. Who would we replace him with?
Sorry, I thought his goal against Arsenal was a penalty, my bad, didn't mean to slander your idol
I stand by my statement, we'd not miss him in the slightest based on this seasons form

He's not my idol at all, stop being a melon because I pointed out you talking nonsense.
Garnacho might be great in the future but he's not even bettering Rashford this season let alone putting in top seasons like Rashford has done previously. The fact you think that in a season where we're struggling for goals, can take out one of our top producers and not replace him and be no worse off is....bonkers reasoning.
this fascination some seem to have with rashford baffles me. he's alway been a patchy player. rashfords never been anything other than slightly better version of Danny Wellbeck with a crapper attitude. he'll be missed about as much as antony.
I find it remarkable that you're defending him and keep referring to him being a "top producer" when he's got 4 (4!!!!) PL goals and 3 assists. Wow, what a hero, paid £375k a week or whatever obscene number it is, for stats like that, incredible. Yes he might be one of our highest producers, but that highlights an issue with the teams performance as a whole, that someone scoring 4 goals, supposedly our main man is being talked about as not replaceable and we'll miss him?
Christ, and you called me a melon

Ok mate, I'll give you a cookie if you can name the players that have got more goals and assists than him this season for us, seeing as you think he isn't one of our top producers.I find it remarkable that you're defending him and keep referring to him being a "top producer" when he's got 4 (4!!!!)

Also he scored 39 G/A last season, is that enough to call him a top producer or do you think others did better for us?
I'm not saying he isn't one of our top producers this season!!!
I'm saying the fact him scoring 4 goals and providing 3 assists makes him a top producer is a massive issue with the team, not a reflection of him being a valuable player to us right now. Drop him, and Garnacho, (who by the way, in 1 less game and fewer minutes across the season, has 1 less goal and 1 less assist) will easily fill the gap of a player who is massively out of form and not really doing the job he's overly paid to do, it's not like he even puts in the work outside of scoring/assisting to make up for it, he's a stroppy little sulker who will just walk about the pitch
We wouldn't miss him, if 1 goal and 1 assist (the difference between him and Garnacho) is the difference between our season being worse than it is or not, then bloody hell, Rashford is the least of our worries
And if he was playing like last season, this whole discussion wouldn't have even started as obviously, he was amazing last season. Funny what coming up to contract renewal time will do to a player

You literally had a go at me for factually calling him one of our top producers 
So at his worst Rashford is still outperforming Garnacho (whether you are talking totals or minutes per G/A Rashford is still ahead) at his best and you still think that is a perfect trade with absolutely no downsides for us. Can Garnacho score 30+ any time soon? if not then of course it's a problem. You're talking about taking goals out of a team that is not scoring enough goals and doing nothing else to change it. If we sell Rashford we have to get someone better and the problem is that list is very short. Vinicius Junior is unlikely to be available, Leao is the only other one in the discussion and his numbers are nowhere near as good as Rashford's and there are lot of question marks about his attitude. Who else is there?

The fact you are mentioning Rashford in the same sentence as Vini Jr and Leao, is ludicrous.
Is this guy for real?! I don't post in this sub-forum a whole lot, am I being baited?

Why? Leao is hardly posting better numbers in a much weaker league. Vini is probably the best in the world in that position right now. You haven't come up with a single name yet.
i've just went through the same thing with him in the fa cup thread - that has now been locked rather than dealing with the obvious issue. he's either just looking for an argument, trolling or completely lost the gist of the conversation he's been having.
