Jesse Lingard

[Clockwork Cheese]

£10M player that was brought from a Championship club, and went in ahead of Lingard for playing time 19/20, then ahead of him 20/21 to the fact JL had to go out on loan to get a game. 

 

My point is that I think Lingard doesn't really give that much of a shit about playing, trying to get back into the England squad, and headlines about him being Angry is total nonsense. Simple and short of it is that if he wanted to play and carry on the momentum in his career he earned at West Ham he would have left Man U in the summer. To me it's damning of him that he was happy to stay.

I still think we'll get him, just not with a 12 million survival bonus. It'll probably go to the wire on deadline day. Strange as it may seem, this could work to our advantage, because if the other players (Bruno etc.) sign before we finalize with Lingard, we can offer all kinds of relegation clauses in the knowledge that they won't be activated.

I'd personally let this lie now, and wait. 

 

If there's no interest by deadline, they'll be ringing us asking us to take him. (Probably at a cheaper offer) its stupid from them otherwise.

 

They're just trying it on.

Maybe, doesn't mean he isn't far superior to anything we have at the moment and could make a difference.

 

Utd having a laugh with us though...they don't give a shit about a few £m and us relegated will set us back a few years

No faith in him that he really wants to be playing football tbh... 

 

 His situation with Man United won't be anything new to him, would have been made clear what it was going to cost him in the summer to get a move out - whether forgoing a chunk of his final year contract, or kicking up a stink and transfer requesting. 

 

In a summer where Ronaldo and Sancho are signed, where you're about 6th choice off the bench as is, it was bloody obvious your never playing. If he wanted his move to West Ham badly enough he would have put in transfer request and forced a move out, would have cost him his end.

 

End of the day, Man United aren't going to stand in the way of a 29year that's nowhere near starting XI leaving the club. Opportunity would have been there for him to leave in the summer to West Ham, and probably had offers elsewhere too. Lingard needs to force his way out, but I think he'd prefer to just collect his money and expect a club like us to match his wages to get him out.

 

 

 

Ronaldo transfer came out of the blue. If not for Ronaldo signing, Lingard gets decent minutes.

 

Rashford missed the early season too.

£12m survival clause

 

Havin' a laugh!

[Paully]

So a £3m loan fee, £12m survival bonus and £1.6m on wages?! 

 

I think we'll get him late on Monday personally!

[Papavasiliou]

Man U fans on twitter all laughing themselves into a coma repeating the same joke about this being payback for us asking for £50mil for Longstaff when they offered £20mil or something.

 

Only they could be bitter about not getting ripped off 

[Froggy]

CHEER UP ALAN SHEARER!!

[geordie_b]

I saw all that bollocks last night but the logic doesn’t work.

 

At the time Rafa didn’t want to sell so (if true) we quoted a ridiculous fee, Lingard leaves for free whether they like it or not in 5 months.

Man u fans now : 

 

Man u fans in summer:

 

[sixx]

Couldn't care less about him if Bruno arrives. Would have preferred van de Beek put he seems shy of a challenge. Not what we need.

[Chris_R]

I'd perhaps pay Man U the alleged £2.5m plus £12.5m survival bonus for Lingard if it was a straight transfer, but not if he can just fuck off to West Ham after 6 months. That's crazy talk.

 

They have every right to ask it, of course. But no way on earth should we be doing anything other than laughing at them and hanging up.

[Guest reefatoon]

We should agree and sign him then get relegated on purpose. That'll teach them.

He could sign permanently then and a deal is probably there

I still think that could happen and we give him a relegation clause 

[Superior Acuña]

I know fuck all but reckon there's a good chance this happens on deadline day.

[elbee909]

I no longer care about bloody Jesse Lingard, tedious fucking shit.

[nemtizz]

He'll keep us up if we don't get another striker.

[elbee909]

Then he should put in a transfer request.

[Nine]

Signings like Bruno will only make this one more likely to be completed

We still need goals like. 

 

I know, it's just... talk about protracted.

[gazza ladra]

I general, I don't really want a "galacticos" NUFC.  But were we to go that route, I'd love it just a bit more every time we beat Man United. Don't know why, but I'd think it would be more satisfying beating them with a team of superstars. Don't think it mean anything against anyone else. To be able to outspend and overwhelm them would be great.
