Transfer Rumour Jesse Lingard

[DL100]

Mad the way James Rodriguez wasn’t good enough for us, but Jesse Lingard is

Who said Rodriguez wasnt good enough? He didn’t want to be here

God, remember Gibson? We won nearly every game he played for us, but in reality he played about 50 games in 5 years or something, didn't he?

All I remember was the goal against City and then him becoming an absolute booze hound culminating in him knocking a cyclist over in his Nissan GTR

 

[DualityNSNO]

Then he got bladdered and mowed someone down

He had a vendetta against cyclists, but realistically - I can't blame him for that.

The drinking was bad though, sad to see.

A lot of people, and let’s not have this argument again. We know which odious pig wanted him out

Not saying you dont try. But this notion they are all out there and just need signing.

 

[GMan1878]

High Risk even for free. If he flops/doesn't play and Dele does the same this season we will be a complete laughing stock..... Oh wait, we already are. The only players we want should be CLEARLY hungry to play, he isn't ??

Didn't want to play for the tubby waiter.

Along with joe parkinson a career that could have been so much better. Both knew how to win a midfield battle.
Gibson was just as much drink though. Proper pisshead.

Not easy but need to change direction. For example Mykolenko seems promising and good business, but paying high wages to cast offs which may not work out and have no sell on is just a drain on resources which are clearly limited

Best part of £80m in fees there.

I’ll take Lingard on £100k a week thanks.

 

[BlueStevie35]

29 is not 33.

Nobody has any idea what the wages would be either. I’ve seen people in here being negative and quoting 200k a week with zero evidence.

He was on £75k at United so he’ll almost certainly want a massive increase on that

Even around £100k is an awful lot for a club in our situation. He's going to have been on a good wage at United.

I think its a big risk.

He cost far too much for a club in our financial position. Nothing to do with ability.

Moving him on was probably the only thing Benitez got right.

Agreed mate I pointed it out earlier, as I see the value free trend the club are actively cultivating, that tells me a lot.

Really mate, 1 out 3 (so far) interesting,

I’m coming to the understanding that we might not be able to pick an approach or strategy and just reboot with young talent exclusively, im seeing red flags in a lot the club is doing in terms of approach, to make me think, we’re going to just manage and limp along with a broken wing until we hit BMD.

The frees are part of that IMO. Wel have the odd signing, but I see the Tarowoskis, Lingards filling the transition void of our limited finances, regulation problems and need to cut losses and push capital toward BMD. Think we will use the loan market to.

We have scope I think to spend 10-20 mill on players this summer (in my opinion) or rather scope in regulation - so not saying we won’t sign a/couple young hungry one or a Dennis or whoever.

Whatever the rational it feels a thing. You sense the club know its losing a fair bit of wages and not fees, so it can replace the wages, hopefully with upgrades more easily.

As you say, it's a sticking plaster than can allow you to maintain position in the league. Its probably better than spending big money in similar players.

You also have to factor in amortisation. Like Lingard at say 6m a year, they may feel is a reasonable deal.

The strategy has benefits, but it's not what we were sold on in terms of strategy. It also makes it harder to sell on players, which is an important part of the needed strategy.

But honestly, 2 domestic loans 1/2 overseas loans and some frees allows us to kit the team out quite effectively for little cost.

 

[Jager24]

If we buy this fella I'm truly done with Everton. He's like 30 and played about 20 good games in his career...shocking player.
