PeepShow4life Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 27 minutes ago, The Prophet said: Lingard is essentially a slightly more productive Almiron. If he was our answer to the right wing, it would be incredibly disappointing. I'm not saying he would be an amazing signing and I wouldn't want him at RW but he's far more productive than Almiron.

Agreed, might be some YT movements and reserve players but hope to see some outgoings whilst EH assessed the squad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In jan it made sense going for him coz it would have been a loan and we were in trouble. Going for him now makes no sense. Apart from a short spell for West Ham he’s hardly kicked a ball in recent seasons Edited July 3, 2022 by gdm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kimbo Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 I used to be in favour of Lingard because I thought he might be desperate to prove himself away from Man Utd and I do think he is capable. Now I get the impression that his priority is squeezing more money out of his last big contract. He should’ve had us or West Ham lined up for when he became a free agent, but instead he’s sitting there demanding big money. Everton would be the most suitable club for him.

I don’t think he’s a great deal better than Fraser & Almiron. He’s better but I saw enough from those two they could do a job under Howe. He’d not be worth the significant wage increase for the slight increase in ability. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nufc123 Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 (edited) Two of our priority positions and the answer is lingard and broja? I know Ashley is gone but that would be terrible. One player has had one good season at wh and the other a few good months. And people are complaining over calvert-lewin? Much rather have Sarr and CL. What in a crazy world have lingard done to demand north of 100k. Id take broja on loan because he has some streghts to his game but then we have to splash the cash on a quality RW Edited July 3, 2022 by nufc123 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me, probably Ekitike or equivalent level as the forward signing (with the deal structured to suit FFP), a quality RW, Paqueta and an up and coming CM prospect (Luka Sucic) would be the ideal world.

Kanj Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 Would love Sarr as the RW given his pace and ability to cover both wings and at ST too. A young striker understudy to Wilson would be good as well. marquee signing of Paqueta at end of window and let’s go and snag 7th. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
