If we stay up we can do better in the summer. If we go down he won't be interested. Too late to register him now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decky Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 If he has a proper fall out with Rangnick I wonder could he be released to move. What’s the point on holding onto him? They’ve made a complete shit show of this not just letting him come to us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Providing we stay up, we can do better in the summer. Expand That "bang average player" was a highlight under Jose, scored key goals, has as many assists as Jota this year who is meant to be on fire. He went on loan to a club in a January window and transformed them into a force. he has goals and assists for his country and a goal in a World Cup. Hes an exceptional team mate, plays as a 10, on the left and the right. hes both footed, has pace and accuracy. He also stepped up repeatedly for United in games at Wembley when others hid. Id reassess "bang average" with some facts and comparisons. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 (edited) Lingard's a good player and makes most PL squads better. He would've been a great short-medium term signing for us.

A lot of people seem to use Lingard's spell at West Ham as an indication of how good he is. Willock had a pretty much identical spell with you lot.

r0cafella Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 He would have been a great short term option for us no doubt. If we manage to survive we need to aim higher though. Let’s get Anthony from Ajax Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stottie Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 I was well up for us signing him right up to the "Etikite fee agreed" reports, with another revival after the Etikite deal collapsed.We have ended up an attacker light. The way the Lingard deal ended though, I think Chris Waugh is probably correct in that we were right to not sign him on the terms offered, because going forward, the new regime need to establish themselves as competent transfer negotiators and not a soft touch who'll overpay for everyone.
