Field Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 14 minutes ago, Mr Raspberry Jam said: Can't help but feel that even if we do sign Lingard, Carlos and anyone else now that we've given ourselves too much to do to stay up. It’s just silly speculation but I have the feeling like we need 4 new players, improve 4 positions, to have a good chance of staying up. And we are 100% relegated as the squad is now.

Well beyond our current, but I mean if we signed some very good players its hardly too much to achieve. We don’t need 1.33 points to stay up we will only need to get 1 point more than the bottom 3 ….or the same but a better goal difference I can see 3 teams with low points this season - going down Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaqen Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Might be daft but I think he could have the biggest impact out of all the potential signings. We desperately lack a goal threat and someone to link the midfield and attack. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Think he'd prefer to go to West Ham all things being equal, but we can probably offer him and Man U bigger money, so he might just be persuaded. I have no problem with that, he seems like a good professional, if he comes here I reckon he'd give it everything. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stottie Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Just for those commenting on our 2M bid, it appears to have flushed out the 3.5M price, which itself sounds acceptable. As a caution, Lingard at West Ham outperformed xG to a greater extent than Willock did last season. However, if you watch the his highlights on YT, the non-tap ins are pretty much all powerful strikes that keepers failed to keep out or were in the corner anyway. He can run with the ball and definitely put his foot through it, which sound enough for goals against the fourteen or fifteen teams who will soon have increasingly little to play for. The romantic in me says its probably Lingard's last chance at a WC next year, and he needs a move to get playing time and exposure. Whether that matters to him that is another matter altogether.
