McCormick Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 Lingard would be fine on a free so long as he isn’t going for silly wages. He’s basically a budget Paqueta, so we’ll have more money to splurge on an RW and a Striker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nine Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 In an ideal world - Broja on loan with option to buy, Lingard in on a reasonable wage (<100k, with good bonuses) and then we could spend on a CM. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 Lingard is essentially a slightly more productive Almiron. If he was our answer to the right wing, it would be incredibly disappointing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nature of the beast when you’re a free transfer though. Can’t see anyone offering more than 100k though, unless Everton are truly desperate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are silly wages for an out of contract player? If we give him a hefty signing on fee, wages can be kept low. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 (edited) Re Broja, 9 in 38 isn't amazing, but I think only 23 of those were starts which looks a lot better, especially for his age. I noticed he was born the day before 9/11 We're so old. Edited July 3, 2022 by Kid Icarus Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 Lingard can play in 3 positions and is a good player. If it means being allowed to sell Murphy or Almiron to raise more funds, then its a good decision. Mind you, I think he thought PSG etc would come calling for him on a free.

The Prophet Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 We tried to sign Ekitike for around £25 million and now we're looking at Broja at a similar fee. Right wingers linked have included, Diaby, Harrison and Sarr. You're talking an outlay there of at least £50 million. Either journos are deliberately being briefed to underplay the our spend or (less likely) it's an FFP budget i.e Botman's fee sbd wages would be calculated over a five year period.

Guest Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 I’d sooner have Broja on loan with no obligation. Not arsed if it’s loan only. Buy a winger and another CM, he’d be a decent option for a year to compete with Wilson and keep Wood out of the side until we can buy a higher profile striker next year.

I think Lingard is well set up to play off Antonio in WistAm’s system, we could do this same off Wilson in ours but it would fuck the current shape a little.
