Transfer Rumour Jesse Lingard

In all honesty, we probably cant afford not to be in for someone like Lingard given our budget and circumstances.

If you look about there is a trend, we're in for anyone who is a value free, Eriksen, Lingard, Tarowoski.

I wonder if his agent is using us to push a move elsewhere or we could be trying to push someone (Eriksen?) Into making a decision?

Think we have to be in for these players for the next couple of years tbh mate, we can’t ignore the value frees. From his point of view he has a couple of better footballing options, WHU, Spurs, & Newcastle went hard him in Jan. The only selling point for us is location if he wants to stay in the North West and maybe he might be drawn by the manager.

Id be surprised to get him or Eriksen to be honest.

Im at the point now were I’ve accepted Everton are going to be a leaky ship until BMD with very tight scope to spend. The Lingards of this world are going to be enablers.
 
We’ve only just avoided being relegated. We should stop the pretence that we’re going to attract top players.

Lingard did well at a team who are currently well outperforming us.

Yeah let’s give him a big fat £150k a week contract because of an impressive half a season at West Ham. As if this squad needs another football mercenary looking for his last big pay cheque.

He’d get £100k at most.

And we were in that position because we had players who came here solely for the money and nothing else.

Coming to their last big contract, cast off from a big side after failing to impress. The odd flash of potential here and there

Sounds a bit familiar all this
 
not sure if mentioned already but it seemed Moyes played him mostly in a central role behind Antonio. Not sure if he played there much for United.
so that would mean any of Lingard/Gallager/Erikssen as the central attacking midfielder and another winger to replace Richy ?

I also cant see him ending up on 150k a week either mate wherever he goes.

Just because thats what he's on at Utd doesn't mean he'll get it elsewhere.

I think he'll end up on about 100k a week. Considering Gomes is on around that if we could boot Andre for actual cash and replace him with Lingz then its a decent swap ultimately.

As you say until BMD arrives the budget is tight. Spending £25 millions on a player on 70k a week might not be possible when we need a good 4-5 signings.

A couple of points.

1) We seem to be focussing on frees. In a lot of ways that makes sense.

2) I was told in January, if Lampard came, Lingard, Alli & RLC would want to follow him. Didnt pay much notice to it, but beginning to make some sense.

3) This strategy is a million miles away from young, hungry players. I'm not saying its bad, but it's more mixed messages.
