Transfer Rumour Jesse Lingard

There’s a difference between rating him and thinking he’s better than some of the current players we have. It’s a very very low bar.
He is, but he's not worth £100k a week or more for a side in our position I don't think, which is what his reps will be demanding.
 

JL was really good at West Ham, and Moyes wanted him full time didn’t he? Say what you like about DM but he generally knows how to spot a good player. For free he’s worth a punt

We’ve not agreed to any wages yet.

That said though the lack of a transfer fee changes the dynamics of any deal. 100k over 2 years with no transfer fee is an approx 10 mill outlay. We’d have to be paying absolute buttons in wages to get under that for a player after paying any sort of transfer fee for them
 
Anything more substantial than social media rumours?
It's been one of those interesting ones where every outlet, including even the BBC have gone with the exact same story, so obviously either his side or ours have circulated the story to journalists. The question is which and why? Lingard's side to try to drum up other interest? Us to put pressure on other targets?
 
There are lots and lots and lots, literally hundreds of players in the world that are better than the players we have.

There’s also a difference between saying that maybe we could have found a better option for Everton than Jesse Lingard and

‘If we sign Lingard that might honestly be me done you know’
