GeordieDazzler Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Feels like this is probably dead and is going to be used by Sky and others to keep us watching, esp if we get all these deals done early. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_R Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 I'd be incredibly surprised if Man U loan us anyone. Think they'd probably rather cut their noses off to spite their faces, and I get why. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fantail Breeze Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Pleased with how much he seemingly wants the move now. Get it done, don’t care if it’s £13m to loan him for 6 months. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haz Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 If he comes, runs his knackers off, helps keep us up, he'll be a legend. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slim Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Think they just know we have cash and are desperate to stay up. Now we have signed a load of players they don't have as strong hand. End day he's not gonna play much for Man U so sure he will be pushing for the move today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Greenwood situation doesn't impact the Lingard deal whatsoever. Lingard was already getting pretty much zero game time and that was before Elanga broke into the team. Elanga is the direct replacement for Greenwood. Lingard is still a non-factor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get it done, don’t care if it’s £13m to loan him for 6 months. We should be pushing for a permanent transfer though rather than a loan when that fee is involved. and we shouldn't be paying a million a game for him when he's a free agent come June. Especially not to them manure cunts as well we are desperate but no walkovers for the big 6 to extorte us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gazza ladra Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 West Ham played Lingard as a CF at least some of his last loan. They've haven't any luck at all getting a striker. Maybe be back? (Surely, it would be beneath ManUtd to consider WestHam a genuine rival for that Europa League spot) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToonScotman Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Think this could be one for later tonight. I’d be happy paying around 10 million for him no more but that’s only if he’s our player. I don’t quite understand Lingard though only wanting a 6 month deal. Why not be part of this massive project. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gdm Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Might not be a popular opinion but I’d pay Man Utd the money and get him in. He’s the final piece of the jigsaw and while we are being ripped off if we stay up it’ll be money we’ll spent. ASM & Lingard will cause absolute havoc with the passes Bruno makes that even Wood would score goals Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine handing over £12m for that if we stay up we won’t be as desperate so I don’t believe it will set a precedent. I think we’ve shown we are more than happy to walk away from deals so far. who knows we might even persuade lingard to stay on (it worked for Rafa and willock) and get him on a free in the summer. Wouldn’t seem such a bad deal then Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
