Aye, you think agents are going to pull the plug? who do you think organised this deal.

Need to get a better deal though. 2m loan fee + 8m survival bonus sounds more acceptable to me. If we survive he will stay, we can be persuasive.

I think Lingard will have to decide what is more important, a big signing on fee in the summer or playing football for 4 months. He's better off moving on a permanent deal and asking for a release clause. I also don't think he will have that many big clubs after him in the summer. Perhaps a big club abroad but that seems like a graveyard move. He's still looking at the Everton/West Ham bracket, not the Spurs/Arsenal bracket.

Froggy is right BTW, why would man utd let him go today? They will wait until Monday and flog him to whoever offers the most for him. They won't let him go for free in the summer, that would be cutting off their noses to spite their face. Monday will come, their will be a few usual suspects in the mix and it will come down to whatever the best deal is for Manchester United, not Jesse Lingard.

Medical in Belo Horizonte, apparently.

I think we will get him anyway. Brinkmanship. Froggy, we are shite mate. Lingard is a massive upgrade on what we have.

Happy to relax after Bruno.

I'm not religious but I've been checking my phone all day and decided to go to bed at 10, thought fuck it and had quick word with big man upstairs (sir bob obvs) before closing my eyes. Woke up for a piss at 4am and weve turned into the new galacticos, now like fuck am I getting back to sleep. God's real guys.

I think they mean deal is done, not player has signed. Hopefully we get news of its acceptance.

Talksport do have Journalists working for them TBF. They have been privy to stuff in the past IIRC. Clutching.

Just watched this, excellent stuff.

It's suddenly dawned on me that this transfer, if it happens, could be one of the most important signings in our history. I will be honest and say I don't know a great deal about him but the ripples that the sheer mention of him coming to us has caused tells its own story. We are in the market for world class players, or at the very least, players who could become world class and its quite frankly mind boggling.

Fair play to Sevilla. They can't expect the same money in the summer though. If they get in the CL, keeping hold of him will have been worth whatever they lose in the summer anyway.

Nee wonder Barca are skint, 29m for Adama Traore? Our fans would have been gutted if we had signed him for 15m.

I don't know if this will go through but I can't see any way in which we don't sign a marquee player of this ilk.

Getting a fee for Hendrick or Gayle in the final days will look like great business, provided we can sign 2/3.

Surprised that anyone thinks Burn wouldn't be an immediate improvement. He's much better than Lascelles etc. 15m is what they want, therefore we could probably get him for 13 or so, which sounds good to me.

Aye but gingers burn in the rain.

He's a centre back.

Here's my mini prediction: We will sign Lingard on a permanent deal, with a small release clause. This way, man United get their 10m or whatever, Lingard has an out in the summer and we recoup some of the fee if he leaves.

Nope. Stayed behind for transfers.

Badiashile, Botman, Bakker, Bruno and Burn. Can't wait until we get to letter C.

Ghodoussi, would be my guess.
