Jesse Lingard

West Ham won't have to pay anything like the figures we're being quoted.

 

We're nowhere near them in the league yet they are terrified of us!

If I was a Man U fan, I would be praying that we get relegated. If this window is anything to go by, if we stay up, the summer window will be something to behold and we will be breathing down their necks soon enough and they know it!

Must be nice to have such a good squad that a £50m player can only got 300 minutes.

For a player they value so highly, they don't play them much eh.

[midds]

I'd much prefer it if they were honest and came out and said "we're not dealing with Newcastle under any circumstances". At least you could see where they were coming from but to propose a deal so backward and ridiculous that's never going to be made makes them look and sound like utter cunts. Then again that cap fits quite nicely tbh. 

[Super Duper Branko Strupar]

Wonder how much it'd take to prize Sarr away from Watford? 15m? About what is currently being asked for 6 months for 29yo Lingard?

50 million? Fair enough I suppose.

[ponsaelius]

Considering Watford spent 27 mill on him and he still has 2 years left to run I'd say probably a fair bit more than 15 mill.

 

I think we're all just so used to Ashley that we're completely out of the loop in terms of the market. Daft fees and insane loan fees are the norm now.

I know what they’re trying to say. We’re getting (in their opinion) a £50m player if he was under a contract for £15m. Doesn’t work like that though.

 

Call their bluff. He’ll be away on deadline day when they realise they’ll actually get nowt and it’ll be closer to £4-5m I bet.

[SUPERTOON]

Still maintain best solution will be we pay 12 million permanently and give him a release clause 

[Lush Vlad]

He isn’t worth £50m even if he is under contract, surely? 
 

I mean, I think he’d improve us and he was quality at West Ham. But his career numbers and his age hardly scream £50m player. 

[jdckelly]

I refuse to believe that is actually true because no one can be that delusional, even if there was 5 years left no one would pay £50m for him 

[Ikon]

We'll just get someone else in and then sign Luis Diaz in the summer In a more wide role with Nkunku through the middle.

Well yeah there’s that too: they’ve overvalued him by at least £10-15m.

Lingard doesn't want that though.

 

If he moves without a fee in a few months (even if it is to ultimately join us after a loan for now) he gets a massive signing bonus.

This. Just watching The Transfer Show on SSN and they're saying it isn't on as it stands as fell down on financials. Low loan fee initially but loan fee would have been bumped up to £9m-10m. Man Utd pushing it even further. Not completely dead in the water but still a long way apart.

[toontownman]

He can just buy himself out and we can cover the cost lol

yep and he'll have plenty of takers then so why tie yourself down, what I don't get is man utd costing themselves his wages for 5 months and missing out on a reasonable loan fee so get nothing. Now maybe they don't want to do business with us full stop, fair enough but what about other teams surely there must be more takers for him based on his west ham form last season

For Man United the fee will be small change, and so unless they can fleece someone for a significant chunk of money, they won't bother letting him go in Jan.

 

I think we are the only team even willing to give them anything for him in Jan, since we need him right now due to our situation. Everyone else that likes him is just sitting back waiting to get him on a free in the summer.

Nope, wouldn’t be able to join us if he did that.
