Jesse Lingard

[greydos]

I tend to judge most of our rumoured transfer links through 3 lenses: what’s their ability, what’s their attitude, and what would Bruno think? 
 

Bruno would be disgusted playing with Tarkowski for a year, the non-technical donkey clogger. But I think Bruno would get onboard with Lingard and see we were building towards Europa League and up

[The Prophet]

Perhaps I'm being critical, but other than a decent spell at West Ham, he's had a pretty average career.

 

That said, I trust the recruitment team and Howe's ability to get the best out of anyone.

[Joey Linton]

I'm going against popular opinion here, but I wouldn't take him now. 

[HaydnNUFC]

Would happily take him. Also would massively look forward to the boiled fatha piss at him moonwalking in front of the Gallowgate with ASM.

[Super Duper Branko Strupar]

Whats he on wage wise at Ulster Unionist Utd like? He surely cant demanding the same when he moves, hes hardly played.

If he'd want Bruno levels he can do one.

Going on the basis of "What would Bruno think?", I think actually Lingard has a very good reputation in terms of being a good role model and a big personality in the dressing room. I get impression he'd be a instant hit with his new teammates regardless of what club he ends up at. 

[The Prophet]

I'd be interested to see where we play him.

[Conjo]

Ugh, really hope this one doesn't go through. Nothing player pushing 30 on massive wages stepping down looking for his last big pay day. What could possibly go wrong.

All depends what system/formation we play next season and that in turn will most likely depend on who we can sign.

 

Another tick in the Lingard box is his ability to play in a few different positions. 

[worthy]

Stinks of old days where we would get the declined manu shitters. No thank you, JLingz.

[JumpersForGoalposts]

Would be really, really disappointed if we signed him. I think we should be looking at talented prospects that Eddie can mould, not aged, entitled, big timing mercenaries.

 

Also, never forget that he turned us down before because he didn't have the bottle for a relegation scrap. Zero loyalty.

 

 

 

 

[joeyt]

He didn't turn us down, he wanted to join

[jack j]

Honestly a hope some other club snap him up straight away. Sick of hearing the cunts name

He looks at his best through the middle, where he can carry the ball on the counter. He looks pony out wide.

[Nine]

Would come in and be our first choice starting RW instantly filling a big part of our squad for no fee, a big win not having to shell out £30/40m for an expensive position and still securing a quality player. As long as he takes a pay cut and is happy with somewhere around 100k pw I think it makes sense for both parties, has a point to prove at the stage/age of his career.. just hope he drops the cringe J Lingz/dancing/L sign celebration.

 

Hes PL proven. Not every player we sign will be a young up and comer that needs to moulded into a PL player over multiple season, a balance is always good in that sense.

They aren’t comparable in terms of ability.

 

With FFP in mind you don’t turn your nose up at top 10 quality players on free transfers at the stage our project is currently at.

Nonsense it’s the one way you end up with FFP problems. Signing out of contract prima donnas on the slide to long term expensive contracts is the road to ruin.

 

You can always make an exception, but we absolutely can turn our noses up at top 10 out of contract players.

[Barnes23]

Should be a hard policy of no "big six" cast offs imo.

Currently on £100kpw apparently. Presumably he’d be wanting well in excess of that given he’s on a free and this would potentially be his last big move.

I'd rather just buy a natural winger, than shoehorn a limited attacking midfielder into the position, as per Almiron.

He’s as much of a winger as he is an AM imo, he played most of his games at West Ham at RW.

[AJ9]

I think it’s a sensible signing in an area where he is better than what we have.

“The majority of his minutes to date have come from a central attacking midfielder role, but the majority of his touches and distribution have been down the left flank with the movements of a modern, inverted winger.”

Salah and KDB were big six cast offs…think that turned out alright for the teams that ended up with them.
