Weren't we linked to Carlo ancelotti? How did that work out?...We aren’t getting Lingard, much in the same way we aren’t getting James, Coutinho, Bale, Gabriel, Soares or anyone else we’ve been linked with

You seriously think we are going to convince Bale to to take a £3-400k a week pay cut to come here? Or Coutinho to leave Barcelona for us over a United, Chelsea, City etc?
I love Jags but 2008 was the peak of Vidic and Ferdinand and Terry were still great too. So best in the league is probably a bit of hyperbole although he was quite good for a spell. But he was never the dominant defender who pushes a team up to the next level.Jags was the best defender in the league before his knee injury.
I would be over the moon to find another CH as good as he was in 2008.

No but it’s nice to dream lol and I can see James Rodriguez joiningYou seriously think we are going to convince Bale to to take a £3-400k a week pay cut to come here? Or Coutinho to leave Barcelona for us over a United, Chelsea, City etc?
Right but City stepping in for Lescott and not Jagielka further suggests Jags probably wasn't the best CB in the league.At that time, Ferdinand and Vidic were rightly acclaimed as the best centre back pairing in the league. Second best were Jagielka and Lescott.., well until Man City stepped in for Lescott.

I'm not saying Jagielka wasn't a great player for us. But I don't think he was ever the best in the league and I would like for us to aim a bit higher for someone who can really shut down a team and not just be solid when everyone else around him is also solid.
You’re being pretty selective with your argument there. What exactly makes Gabriel or Soares so unrealistic?You seriously think we are going to convince Bale to to take a £3-400k a week pay cut to come here? Or Coutinho to leave Barcelona for us over a United, Chelsea, City etc?

I actually thought he was doing pretty well at Bayern but they gave up on him it seems.No good club will be looking at Coutinho, hes a truly horrific player.
