Rashford poll

[thehumblegringo]

For the 80-90-100 million they're on about for griezmann I'd expect a generational talent. Not just an above average midfielder.

[Pedro de la Rosa]

hmmmm, maybe.

But iago aspas has a similar record.

I don't think griezmann is all that. Would he be better than de bruyne? I don't think so.

Gylfi Sigurðsson of swansea is the third highest assister in the premier league. 9 goals as well. And no one talks of him moving for huge money. He's scrapping in a rubbish team as well, not athletico pummelling teams every now and then.

If Man U do this it'll prove to anyone they're there for the taking with transfers. They won't take the risk on buying slightly more unknown people, just throw money at the hyped up players.

Oh would you behave? Have you actually watched Griezmann play? He's absolutely brilliant. Griezmann has scored 25+ goals a season every year he's been at Atleti and scored 20 for Sociedad the year before.

Man United have cash to burn so who cares? They spent £90m on a centre mid for crying out loud, so they may as well get an attacking mid for the same price. Above average. Christ. Put your rod away. Also, Atleti are fairly defensive and look to AG to score their goals.

[Pedro de la Rosa]

Rooney is washed up and martial and Rashford can't be relied upon to score frequently enough. I'd be surprised if they don't sign a striker

When Rashford plays through the middle, he scores. He's going to be their main striker.

[Croesy Blue]

Coutinho better than Griezmann ??
Abraham better than Rashford??

Are you lit that clueless or being contrary for the sake of it. 2 of the stupidest things I've ever read.

[BlueArmy 86]

Wow have some people even seen Griezmann play? He's not a midfielder for a start!

And united will surely get a striker, maybe two.

[Rjk]

When Rashford plays through the middle, he scores. He's going to be their main striker.

He's doing well but not scoring often enough to be their main striker YET. They will make a large purchase in the summer

[life on mars]

I can't see Rashford being number one at united next season

In goals , hot news ,keepers leaving ??/

[Baloo]

Give me strength.

Tammy Abraham????

A kid that hasn't even played a game against top opposition and some people think he's the next big thing.

This is the same kid that got totally bullied out of the game at our place by a guy that hadn't played for months.

As for Rashford, undoubted potential but let's not get carried away.

Not bad for somebody who can't get in their squad like.

It's what clubs like Chelsea do - take any promising youngster, farm him out for a while and see if he makes the grade. If he doesn't then offload him, if he does then they've saved themselves a packet having to go out and spend 50-60 million on a top striker.

Most of these youngsters end up as surplus to requirements at clubs like Chelsea and even if one does slip through the net then they'll just spend lots of money buying them back like they'll probably do with lukaku in the summer.

If they rate him that highly then I look forward to seeing how he fares for them next season.

Let's be honest, even if he makes the grade they still don't think he's "ready". They have Bertrand Traore on loan at Ajax and every time I've watched him he's been on fire but yet they still won't give him a chance next year.

The current system is an absolute joke and in my opinion the rules have to be changed as Chelsea and their like are abusing the system and have made it into a cash cow from the loan fees they receive

Exactly.

http://www.chelseafc.com/teams/on-loan-players.html

Chelsea have 37 players out on loan.

Thirty seven???

Most clubs don't even have that many players on their books.

A quick look through that list shows 10 strikers out on loan.

I'm willing to bet that Tammy Abraham has as much chance of pulling on a Chelsea shirt next season as I do.

Don't forget Michy Batshuayi too

[Majorblue]

From the little I have seen he looks like he could be something special.
However, I doubt that he will develop with United as they and they supporters appear to demand established big names these days.
If he is to fulfill his promise ( assuming his ego doesn't take over and he adopts the Premiership moneybags attitude) he needs to play first team football on a regular basis and in the same position.
Newcastle would probably be a good bet but I doubt that United will loan him out but continue to use him as an impact player.

[lardy]

Chelsea are totally abusing the loan system and have been for years. Made even more incredible when you think that John Terry was the last homegrown player to become a regular for them, and he's about to retire most likely.

[xsnaggle]

Why are you calling him Kelechi and not Iheanacho? Or alternatively calling the other Marcus and Tammy?

Odd.

It reminds me of all the english rugby pundits and commentators,they would spout a list of surnames"..... and Johny"

Always made me want to puke.
