    It gets worse, this is from 'The Standard'

    Arsenal 'make shock call to Man Utd over Rashford deal'
    There are reports beginning to circulate this afternoon that Arsenal have made shock contact with Manchester United over a potential deal for Marcus Rashford.

    Italian journalist Massimo Marianella has apparently told the ‘Calciomercato - L'originie Live’ programme on Sky Italia that the Gunners have made a call to their Premier League rivals over the wantaway England striker.

    It’s even suggested that a valuation of just £25m has been placed on Rashford, although it’s not clear which club that comes from.

    The plot thickens...

    Surprising how far I get just by bullshitting my way through

    Rashford would be the worst signing in the recent history of the club. At a critical time where the club could either climb back to a title, or fade into obscurity, to do another Willian, Jesus, Sterling at this crucial moment would signal there is zero ambition behind the business of the club and the business of the club is just business.

    Personally I do think it’s a mixture of paper talk and Rashford’s brother/agent trying to sell his client

    But, it would not surprise me if Arteta in his hubris thought this was a player he and he alone could get something out of

    But I’m not buying that….simply because Rashford’s wages

    The revisionism over Jesus goes on, the reality is that he was a genuine shot in the arm when he joined and the great start we had to the season two years ago was down to him as much as anyone.

    Take away that World Cup injury he then had and I think he'd have continued to contribute more

    Willian was indeed trash however, also Zin ofc, Sterlimg not great hut showed signs of promise in his last appearance, still it was a very latr appeasement signing rather than a real attempt to beef up our attack IMO

    Rashford is probably beyond help but I do think there’s a player in there somewhere. He can be lethal on his day with that pace and ability to shoot confidently. His application is woeful though and I doubt we’d bother with the risk.

    Even before that World Cup certainly in terms of goals he was not producing. He had failed to score in the last six games prior to the World Cup and often his misses became a matter of mirth. Was he terrible? No he was having a role in occupying defences and creating chances for others. But arguably given we’d lost both Auba and Lacazette it wasn’t really a sufficient replacement, and given he was never prolific even at Man City it does often seem like a questionable signing
