I can’t wrap my head around the fact that Marcus Rashford has more goal contributions than Raphinha this season and is still being scapegoated. I mean the numbers itself don't lie. While Raphinha is often praised for his work rate, Rashford has quietly put up better numbers in terms of goals and assists during his loan spell. Yet, despite being one of the most dangerous players in Spain this season, the criticism back home never seems to stop. What’s even more confusing is that despite Rashford delivering over 20 goal contributions and helping Barcelona stay top of La Liga, the club is yet to make a serious deal to sign him permanently. There is a €30 million buy option on the table, which many experts are calling an "absolute robbery" for a player of his quality. However, Barcelona are still hesitating... Instead of triggering the clause, they are trying to negotiate for a lower price or even another loan deal. IOn one hand, you have a player outperforming top wingers and proving his worth in a new league. On the other hand, you have a club that is happy with his performance but still won't commit to a permanent deal. In football, you are often judged by your price tag or your reputation rather than your actual output on the pitch. Rashford is proving everyone wrong with his stats, but until a club shows him the respect of a permanent commitment, then it's not worth it. ❤️✌️ --- *Football news by OddsFlow — AI predictions, verified and timestamped*
