“The majority of his minutes to date have come from a central attacking midfielder role, but the majority of his touches and distribution have been down the left flank with the movements of a modern, inverted winger.” https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11096/12273193/jesse-lingard-in-scintillating-form-at-west-ham-after-loan-from-man-utd

Currently on £100kpw apparently. Presumably he’d be wanting well in excess of that given he’s on a free and this would potentially be his last big move.

Deleted the tweet. How strange.

“Mag like behaviour” “Something that 'the mag' would do... awful” “Embarrassing Maggery that will do nothing but motivate the opposition.” ‘magedia’ have infiltrated ALS, obviously.

Maradonna’s ‘Hand of God’ football shirt sold for £7,142,500.

I just see those moments as not giving his all for the team and also letting himself down- he’s better than all that crap. He’s undoubtedly talented, but I’d expect and want better, especially for someone who gives 120% every time.

I’d love Richarlison….but Antony even more so ? Think he will be awesome.

You said he always gives 120%. I think those actions means he doesn’t.

Rolling around, faking injury (causing his own teammate to get booked), and lashing out at opposing players whilst he’s on the floor isn’t necessarily giving 120% effort.

“Everton were really struggling for money at the time and I found out they were listening to offers from people as well.” “They were trying to push me to sign for Chelsea because they were going to pay the most money. But, once I knew United were interested, I wanted some confirmation that they did want to sign me.” Rooney added: "Once I knew they did want to sign me, it was the only club [for me] as I wanted to work with Sir Alex Ferguson and play with Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes, Roy Keane, Rio Ferdinand, these players, so I knew where I wanted to go.” “It was 40 minutes from my home, where I grew up, as well and it was a perfect fit for me. United actually wanted to wait a year, until the following year, but then Newcastle came into talks with Everton and with myself.” “I'd gone too far then. I couldn't wait another year, I couldn't stay another year at Everton, so I was prepared to go to Newcastle for that year.“ “I spoke to them, we spoke about salary and what I wanted if I went there was, after a year, if Manchester United come in, you have to let me go.” “Newcastle were agreeing to that but obviously, with United, I went back to them and said, if you don't do it now, I'll go to Newcastle with a clause in place. United obviously didn't want me to go there so I came here.“ “It was basically whatever Newcastle paid for me, United would have paid a year later.”

Nketiah wants guaranteed game time, which as our ‘promising/young’ player, he wouldn’t necessarily get.

Supposedly…but then that might mean Martinez is available…

Salah, Modric, Baggio, Signori, Rivaldo, Rooney, Schweinsteiger….?‍♂️?

Which is seemingly where they are now (no license to operate at the end of this month?) if rumours are to be believed. If it goes ‘wrong’ as per current reports, they won’t be anywhere near 4-7th places, but will freefall or simply fail to exist in current form. Won’t be allowed to happen though imo- shady deals behind closed doors will prevent it.

They went down 98/99.

“Newly-rich Newcastle were widely seen as one of the few clubs that would not be put off by the financial package required, even though it is unclear if they have any interest. But it is understood Lukaku would not entertain a move to St James’ Park.” https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/chelsea-fc-romelu-lukaku-transfer-news-ac-milan-newcastle-b997605.html headed back to Italy I reckon.

We’ve been linked to Scamacca a fair bit over the past year, but he’s previously said he wanted to stay in Italy (think he turned us, Dortmund and someone else down, as well as being linked with spurs and Arsenal)- it’s been documented he’s agreed to go to Inter, but I don’t think it’s officially sealed yet.

Thought Scamacca was off to Inter?

According to French sources last year, we bid £34m for Paqueta, before we even signed Bruno. At the time, he didn’t want to leave Lyon and didn’t see the move as a step up. With Bruno now being here, safe from relegation, and having flown over to see the club/fans first hand, I’m pretty certain that view will have changed should we go back in for him. https://le10sport.com/football/mercato/exclu-mercato-newcastle-a-offert-40-meur-pour-paqueta-ol-580652

They also spent over £100m that season (Mitro, Seri, Anguissa, Mawson etc).

His contract is up this summer and he’s not renewing. He hasn’t been given game time so wants to leave for a club that will guarantee it to him. They won’t be persevering with him.

His agent (Jorge Mendes) is well in with Milan. Plus Sanchez wanted to go there as his preferred club. Only 18 months left on his current contract, and told Lille he wouldn’t be renewing in order to go to there. Don’t think he would’ve signed for anyone else- probably seen his deal out and left on a free.

Allegedly bid for Nunez, Etikite, Bayo, Bamba Dieng and others in January, but got knocked back for all. Don’t think it was for lack of trying, unless they offered paltry amounts.
