They just sympathise cause he's an alcoholic and gambling addict if he didn't have a platform for him to give his meaningless opinions on he'd be dead let's face it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
timeEd32 Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 I've wanted this to go through since the window opened. Honestly probably overrating him at this point, but I think this would assure safety along with the other signings. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK-421 Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 (edited) Merson is so anti-NUFC its unreal. Struggling to compliment our january business, and it'll only be "WOW" if we sign Lingard. "They've had a go, thats all I can say" when asked about our business, despite spending roughly £100m and close to signing 5 players (so far). Also said earlier he worried about foreign players coming into a relegation battle with us, as they wont know the league. Then followed it up praising Burnley for their signing of Wout Weghorst, saying he thinks he'll do well. Edited January 31, 2022 by TK-421 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is also why I think it won't happen, still don't trust Man U to hold up their side of it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're as much a rival this year as they were last year when we loaned Lingard to them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess a loan with an option to purchase is about as best as we can get so long as the option to buy is agreed and both parties have to agree (ie both we and he want to sign the option) Edited January 31, 2022 by OverThere Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lingaard (and his agent, presumably) wants a loan move now as come the summer, more teams will want him, and he’ll get a hefty bonus for signing as a free agent. Which will probably be the last big pay day he’ll get. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could give him that now and save the dickering about. He is a good player, much better than anything we have and should be ok for a 3 year stint.

It's not a pay day as some have said, otherwise we can just offer him the money. It's lifestyle, he likes clubs etc and London suits him more than Newcastle. He's only giving us a chance because Kieran Trippier convinced him. His plans are simple, 6 months at Newcastle and then decide if he likes it here or would prefer London or somewhere else. If he signed and we stay up, he could be unhappy off the field and that's why he didn't want to sign until he sees what Newcastle is like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we can’t just ‘offer him the money’ because he’s not currently a free agent? We have to deal with Man Utd in terms of his wages and a loan fee? I don’t understand this?

He is open to it and is actively pushing for it. It's Man Utd holding firm. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
