Got to be sad when I’m looking at tonight’s fixtures and hoping N’Castle and Palace win.

When he left Newcastle they would have accepted a bid of £2.50. They would also have had 40,000 offers of a lift from Toon fans. Honestly, he had next to no value at that point in his career. Now..........different story.

This shows why you can't fully write a player off. Players mature or peak at different ages and when you combine different managers, tactics and team dynamics players can improve or drop off dramatically depending on a combination of all of the above.

I still think Rashford for example will go on to have a period of world class football in a different team, culture and set up. He just needs a fresh start somewhere.

Rashford also needs a better attitude.

Agreed. Part of that is being given silly contracts he didn't deserve and allowed to get away with acting the big I am over the years.

If Rashford goes to Italy with that attitude he will wish he was playing for Utd under 16’s.
