TBG Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Must be a difficult one for some on here. On one hand the answer to clubs not accepting bids is to throw extra money at them. On the other £10m is too much for a loan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mighty__mag Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Its obvious to us all though that they're having us over, right? But we're just hoping he does a Willock, and we dont end up with egg on our faces. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, but obviously this could just be speculation. I seriously hope he has indicated to us that he wants to actually be here, and we aren't wasting our time trying to negotiate a deal.

Superior Acuña Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 I'm not really arsed if he's that eager to come here over West Ham - if he does come I'm confident he'll want to impress regardless, given that he's looking to get a good contract and be in the WC squad.

Exactly, we are ultra desperate, have shit loads of cash so use it to stay up then we can built a fucking behemoth of a side in the summer when we arent so desperate. I'd rather 10M on Lingard than overpay 20M on someone on a permanent deal having to offer them silly wages. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingxlnc Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 A £10m loan fee for six months... for Lingard?! I'm sure Chelsea would accept £10m to lend us Lukaku for six months (not that they need the money) - but anyone mid-table who are safe. Abroad - literally take your pick. You could get pretty much anyone's first-choice striker with the exception of the big CL boys - but most would accept the hit for the season for a £10m payout... if it means they get the player back again in the summer. Ridiculous amount of money to pay for a loan... so if we're willing to pay that, get someone world class for it! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 A £10m loan fee with some silly clause where he gets a permanent 2 year contract automatically if we stay up but with a £5m release clause for that first summer if he wants to go still. I know if doesn’t exist but would be something that would suit all parties. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest HTT II Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 10m will be pennies if he does the business that keeps us up and if we do stay up I’m sure the next phase of the project may well appeal to him to join permanently and if not, he’s nearly 30, I’d far rather, if we stay up, build for the future in terms of bringing in quality younger players that will be here for 5 or more years like City started to do once they consolidated. Let’s face it, Lingard would be a huge upgrade in our team as an attacking midfielder. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToonAbroad Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 "Newcastle confident on completing the signing..." has become fairly meaningless this month unfortunately.

Let’s face it, Lingard would be a huge upgrade in our team as an attacking midfielder. It's all relative isn't it? Chris Wood looks like the biggest £25m dud in the history of football, but we took four points from six since he came into the side, so could argue it was worth wasting £25m.

Basically his last payday as being 29 his value is probably only going to dwindle. I was just more concerned it was because he wasn't keen on moving here.

Kid Icarus Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 (edited) I was thinking about the best way to do this last night and thought the best way to do it would be to sign him for a fee on a 2 year contract, which satisfies Man United, but put a release clause in that's activated in the summer for around the same amount, so he can go somewhere else if he wants while we also get some money back. That way everyone gets what they want. If it really is £10m for a loan til the end of the season for a player that's not too enthusiastic about coming, that's getting a bit QPR tbh.

I think if he moves in the summer he wants a Bosman not a release-clause transfer because the players get a bumper pay packet that way aye? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just hope it wasn’t a Willock-in-the-pan. But even a 1/3 of that return for us in the next couple of months would be huge. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fantail Breeze Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 (edited) I didn’t realise but he’s scored 50 goals and has 29 assists in 174 games (based on his minutes played / 90 min) across his career. Not bad considering he’s often been a bit-part player for Man Utd. Averaging a goal or assist just over every 2 games. Starting to convince myself he’ll be a really good signing. Would be miffed if he does well and then fucks off in the summer to somewhere shit like West Ham though.
