Is it wise to chase someone who so badly doesn’t seem to want to come here? Just going by reports, of course, none of us really know what’s going on with this one, or in Jesse’s head. 

 

I was listening to something recently where someone who knew him claims that he only really wants to play for Man United. His loan deal with West Ham was all about trying to get back into form to get back to Man United.

 

Is he refusing to sign a contract, or is he not being offered one?

Do West Ham just not want him? Surprising with how well he did last season at them

 

They'll get him in the summer for free. They aren't going to chuck the sort of money we are able to, just to get him in this window.

Doesn't he supposedly have a verbal agreement with WH for the summer?

 

Not that that will matter if someone offers more cash, I'm sure.

 

Maybe he thinks it's a risk coming here and potentially flopping. If he sits on the bench the next few months, he doesn't need to worry about West Ham not remembering him as the 9 goal freakshow.

I think Newcastle when we're doing well is a great place to play football. If he comes and we stop up, and by definition he therefore does well, he'll most likely want to stay. We've got a great stadium, good fans, and ambitious owners. Maybe I'm biased, but it doesn't feel like that much of a risk to me?

Given the inaccuracy and unreliability of fees for players stated by journalists this window in relation to us, I’d suspect if we’re negotiating a loan fee for Lingard, it will fall way short of £10 million. Perhaps less than half of that.

 

If the journalists were to be believed, Trippier was about to cost us £25 million, only to end up costing less than half the widely reported amount.

 

Don’t waste your time on their speculative words, they quite clearly haven’t a clue about the finer details of the majority of what they report on.

Exactly, if we stay up there’ll be few places in football more exciting this summer.

I read somewhere that the loan fee is more like £5m so you're probably right.

Already been said but Lingard would take the pressure off ASM as we'd have more than 1 outlet and/or source of goals and assists. He's a good player, seems a sound lad and his dancing will get the yer das livid. No brainer for me.

Is this bloke credible? I've followed any number of knackers on twitter in the last three months and I'm still trying to work out who I can listen to and who i can just write off as human beings.

Nah and for some reason he puts a chicken emoji at the end of all his tweets

Pretty inconsistent. 

 

Also said late last night Bakker was pretty much done other than player terms to be agreed. Could still be true, I guess.

That deal's collapsed now though.
