Mudryk tested positive for a banned substance. Will likely improve the Chelsea team if he is banned!

They can terminate his contract if he has failed a drug test. This sounds like another Inside job. They did the same with Mutu when they wanted him off the wage bill.

So they have developed a system that will ensure that the top clubs stay at the top, regardless of their league form - So the ESL is the footballing equivalent of FFP. Yeah, go fuck yourself ESL.

 

The only real way to get into the "star" league is to be one of the current biggest teams in Europe as you'll be invited in. 

 

It all feels very American - like the NFL etc, just a pure unadulterated parcel of shit that no one asked for.

 

looks like it's doing the rounds again  Unify League

So that's how Chelsea get rid of players they don't want. Get them doped.

Oohh look at me I’m a “star champion”, kind of shit that goes on at nursery school.

 

Who are A22? Some self appointed pricks who think they own European football? Get to fuck. The game will eat itself if this ever gets the nod because there are only so many tourists who will pay top dollar to watch PSG vs Man Utd (for example), remove local derbies/gloating rights from football and it’s a dead sport.

Rashford says he wants to leave man utd. Spain or another winger for Chelsea?

It's only 18 months ago that he got 30 goals in a season for them. 
 

Could be an option to sell Barnes and buy Rashford as LW/CF cover. But he would need to halve his wages and learn to track back (so probably never gonna happen)

[Holden McGroin 6771]

There is obviously a quality player in there somewhere but it looks like he has lost desire.

Serious attitude problem IMO.

This can only be based on him thinking Jose was a prick (which he is) and ETH was a useless, bald fraud (which he is)

 

He has a similar attitude to Gordon IMO at least off the pitch.

 

The only problem is his work rate on the pitch. He doesn't track back at all and when he isn't scoring goals he doesn't offer a lot else.

 

That being said if Howe could get him bought into his way of working there is no doubting his ability - a consistent Rashford is world class IYAM - the problem is he isn't and has never been consistent so it all falls down right from the outset 

[Kid Dynamite 7161]

Gordon was in an absolute huff straight after the transfer window. Rashford has had far more good seasons than bad. 

[spongebob toonpants 4107]

Also sulks if he can't play on the left

Forgot about this.

Never."

Don’t want to play the itk here but i know that rashford has spent a fortune buying a golf club and turning it into a house, his long term GF was doing all the design work, and they have broken up.

 

I know footballers aren’t allowed to struggle with form despite personal issues, I would love him here but his wages are out of reach.

[PaddockLad 17586]

It sounds like Rashford already has a deal ready to go in January to me..  my money is on PSG, wages won’t be a problem and neither will tracking back in the French league

I wouldn't touch him with a barge pole. You can blame managers all you want but a good professional will take personal accountability. He's been off form more often than on it and is exactly the sort of mistake we need to avoid. Cheering his team on on Twitter on the Sunday then saying he wants to leave on the Tuesday. The manager left him out for various reasons and instead of admitting his shortcomings and treating it as a challenge he's decided to fuck off elsewhere for an easier life.

 

Oh, and going to his old school to drop off presents while making sure a friendly journalist is there to witness it? Let no good deed go unpublicised.

Agreed with this.

Plus, he's 27 years old now.  It's not like he's a bairn.
