You're asking me what I think the club would do?
That goes down in the list of stupid questions I'm afraid.
Happy to tell you what I want the club to do but how he fek anyone knows what the club will do over the next 3 months or so is beyond me.

The club nor fans particularly want him, they would take him but not that fussed. Question exceptional
Gordon‘s best attributes are off the ball work and ball carrying. This part of the game is overlooked but it allows a team to fuction.
Barca in Yamel and co have brilliant on the ball creators and goalscorers but the balance of the attack might be better with someone like Gordon who does the Sadio Mane pressing game than someone like Rashford who is a better goalscorer.
We need a goalscorer probably more due to not having many hence why Rashford could be useful but I do get the concerns with him.
Rashford is definitely not a player we should be chasing in my opinion.
In January, yes. Now, no.
I think we really need to see him up closely, there's too many people who are acting as if they watch him week in week out, whilst the scouting reports are good things like this concern me, as I said I would love a Prem loan next season.
There's way too much discourse surrounding him anyway, people are acting as if he's the CB version of Messi, whilst he's still good and has huge potential he's not flawless at all, he got caught out the other day for Croatia against Belgium when he messed up a fairly simple high line and played Lukaku onside.
I don't see why another year away hurts though, I think people are just being impatient.
He wanted out because he was ostracised and there were valid reasons for it.
I call bullshit on the number of managers justifying his behaviour and rather rely on the opinions of his own fanbase wanting him gone over that of an opposition fan.
He had some good moments at Barca true, exceptional players tend to start games not sit on the bench for most of them.
At his best he's certainly not a player to turn your nose up at but the same can be said of any likely suitors.
Not sure what our last 2 finishes have to do with the discussion or how it impacts on the quality of incomings.
Not even sure rashford would consider us anyway
So it’s probably irrelevant

That's no different to any other window in truth. Some will rate a certain player, whilst others won't. Some will see a certain area as critical whilst others see another area as even more critical.
You simply can't please all of the people all of the time.
We might not get in who WE want, but that's irrelevant. It's getting in players that the manager wants, and who will elevate the team as a whole that's important, whether it splits opinion or not.
After all, they're just opinions.
Rogers would trump both Trossard and Martinelli on the left, he'd walk straight into their team as first choice.
Agreed, Rogers is a big strong fucker, Arteta will be getting rock hard at the thought of lumping the ball out wide to him with big diagonals from White or Timber.
and get relegated?
Have we not learnt from the last couple of seasons (I know its longer, but just the league position) and worked out we can not do 25 year payment plans using green shield stamps and an Argos gift card?
I'm sure someone said that Rashford has already rejected the idea of joining Spurs
Good.
I have no issues with the political stuff, I just don't think he's very good.
Just give me a front 3 of LEAO…..VLAHOVIC….. MARMOUSH
For the love of god please give spell check a whirl.
What we've offered is fair. I wouldn't pay more than he's worth. We aren't desperate. We can always keep Romero or trust Vuskovic. Make the third bid if you think he's worth that bid. Otherwise walk away. No sweat off us. It'll backfire on Brighton when he runs down his contract and goes for free.
Worst case is another club hijacks us with a similar bid. Again big deal. We aren't desperate here. I don't want to see us jumping to 50m and looking like fools for a player who might not even be a starter next year if others perform (Vuskovic could easily end up a better player).
Again I want us to sign Van Hecke. I think he improves us. But this isn't an essential signing and I wouldn't let Brighton try make a fool of us early in the window. Because then every club will do the same to us because they know we always cough up. We'll just become the new Man United who always pay a tax even when there is no competition
