Fantail Breeze Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 This deal even more important now Ekitike is off. Wouldn’t be great if this falls through too. 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...

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) We couldn’t get an option to purchase, as he’s a free agent as soon as the loan is up? 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...
thomas Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Where's that narrative sprung from? Why's Trippier out here trying to convince him of a move Hadn't seen that at all. 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...

Awaymag Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 I think we should just pay the money and concede that MUFC have pulled our pants down on this one. Time has run out and to miss out because of £3-5M when we were going to spend £30M on Etikeke would be galling Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone was asking why not jut pay the £15m or whatever to buy Lingard outright now with a relegation release clause. I was explaining why Lingard doesn't want/ won't take that option and the reason is not because of money but lifestyle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
