Clockwork Cheese Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 Not apposed to him signing here on loan, but would have bigger reservations about him signing onto anything permanent. Doesn't seem that we're in talks with any other options other than him as to forward players, so guess you just have to get on board with it! Whilst we wouldn't be getting the player we all saw last year at West Ham, he'd no doubt improve us going forward. We've nobody that is natural at breaking lines, playing direct and vertically and making defenders worry about space being left open. Would just feel 100x more easy about this if we had the back end of the side secured transfer wise. Adding Lingard into this side at present won't keep us up alone - it runs the risk of leaving us even more exposed the other way if we're still having to play Longstaff/Hayden/Shelvey/Joelinton in front of Lascelles/Clark/Schar/Fed.

Hanshithispantz Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 Watching Joelinton and Longstaff bumble around the area is painful like. We're desperate for someone like Lingard. We still need to replace Shelvey too like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ste Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 He'll be desperate to impress, I won't have any concerns over motivation. If he wasn't 100% on coming, I think he'd stay put for now, maybe negotiate with a club abroad. A big plus will be having someone who is a threat with a shot from range.

Hoping (because his mate Trippier is here) he'd actually put a shift in. And surely he wouldn't want the world to think he's dog shit?

This - if he's looking for a big contract this summer, then his performances over the next 3-4 months will play a big role in determining how much he could demand.

'I'm willing to sit on the bench at Man United unless I get an offer from London or a lucrative deal elsewhere' doesn't scream motivated to me like. I certainly wouldn't be touching him at an eight figure loan fee. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tsunami Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 Would be a surprise and a very welcome one at that. This has been rumbling on for a good while and while I’m sure he’d prefer West Ham I don’t think he’s ever dismissed us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt they care that much. They cared enough to call an emergency meeting when our takeover went through to complain about it and change the PL's rules to try to prevent us from competing with them. It makes no sense that they would then loan us a player to help us to avoid relegation when that is the best way to prevent or at least significantly set back our future ability to compete with them.

Jackie Broon Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 Just now, hakka said: Was reported they accepted our bid for permanent transfer? But player wants loan. How does that play for your conspiracy theory? Doesn't stack up for me. That's if you believe everything that's reported. It just makes no sense for them to act the way they have in relation to our takeover and then help us avoid the one thing that could make what they are so concerned about go away.

Watch podcast on Marc Birchall who was a coach at QPR at the time. He said that all the players coming in were on massive money, relegation get out clauses the lot - whilst likes of Jamie Mackie, Shaun Derry, Clint Hill were still on relative peanuts. Explained that basically, whilst splitting the dressing room in cliques, it became a situation where the lesser paid players would have rightly had no motivation to give a fuck either - they would have earned more money in Championship than in PL *more games, so more match bonuses* - only their professionalism would have seen them commit, whilst Djbril Cisse refused to play because his bit on the side didn't shag him night before, or the club having to pay off Samba Diakhate's Witch Doctor curse so that he could train pre-season.

We are so easy to defend against currently. This for me is why we need Lingard or someone of his ilk. Right now when we attack, the opposition just stick 2 or 3 men on ASM and wait for him and bank on him not being able to get past everyone. We're so easy to thwart. We're desperate to be able to attack in multiple areas of the pitch and have more than one creative threat. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
