Sets a precedent. I read the other day that Howe and the owners have set out a policy of no relegation clauses to weed out people who aren't really into the project.

Fair enough. 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.

Coz he wants big pay day as a free agent 

I can only see us or Wet Spam being the final destination even as a free agent. 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.

Why dont we just buy Lingard and insert a relegation clause?

 

 

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.

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’s not coming here , if he wanted it he’d be here .


Its nowt to do with him though. It’s the clubs not agreeing a deal.

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

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.
