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...

Because him and his agent would miss out on a massive (and probably last) signing on fee as a free agent in the summer? £££’s Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but the £12.5m is about us staying up, why should that be affected by his contract (although I can see what Manure are up to). 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...

Decky Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 If we stay up there’s a fair chance we might keep Lingard as well so pay then the money and get it done. We’ll be raging we didn’t if it falls through and we don’t survive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

elbee909 Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 I find it hard to believe Lingard would be the absolute lynchpin people think he'd be. Fair enough if he comes though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of they chances ends in a goal I’m sure of it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anderson Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Was always confident this would come off today, but them allowing VdB & Martial to leave already & yesterday's news makes it a complete non-starter now I'd imagine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough if he comes though. If Ekitite is coming, we don't need Lingard to play false nine (cough, cough, if Wood struggles....), so he's reverts to right wing and AM only. Still he's pretty good at them and a big upgrade on Fraser. The West Ham highlights video has some great goals but more importantly shows him carrying the ball forward with ease. That will happen regardless of whether the shots are all going in. I must also admit to having a huge soft spot for Lingard ever since that "Mommy!" video when the West Ham fans were throwing cans at the Man U bus.

gdm Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Anyone think Etikite could be the alternative to Lingard? Maybe playing the kid a bit wider than thru the middle Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we'll still take Lingard if the option comes up, but we did right to get Ekiteke in first. At least that gives us a speed merchant option up front.
