Transfer Rumour Jesse Lingard

[kenada_blue]

This might be the best post in the thread. How do I nominate someone for a Pulitzer?!?

And I honestly don't blame him for doing so.

We just shouldn't be encouraging his behaviour.

Everything about him screams terrible signing so I'm convinced we were in for him.

An American and Saudi Team apparently

I'd legit buy a hundred official J-Lingz branded hats and eat every single one of them if this was anywhere even close to being true. I could see WH wanting him for ~150k but they can afford it and offer top-end football. No way a likely/possible relegation team is offering what must surely be 5x their top earner for a lad who'll be 30 this season.

Well he meeting the Forest chairmen in London so if he goes there they have offered more than West Ham's 140

Or a longer deal..

16 good games at West Ham during a career spanning ten years does NOT warrant a payday of £150k, £180k or 200k per week.

Seems like a fairly firm set of facts to me.

Will see how he performs next season I guess

I fully expect a united type performance from this lad, ie happy to collect the big bucks, with no preseason and no shop window to have to put himself in (his west ham stint).

I'm hearing Forest have offered him 200 grand a week, dangerous territory, if they get relegated these high wages could cripple them especially if they don't have relegation clauses in their contracts

Daily Fail reported a 2 year deal on 180k a week. And that the reason its.broken down with WHU is that his agent wants millions as a fee.

Surely Forest will need a relegation clause in that contract!

Everton arent real mate, its a figment of all our imaginations.

If Everton is a figment of your imagination I'd hate to see what other things you've managed to dream up!!!

Agents shouldn't get anything from free transfer deals.

For a two year deal they could probably get away with it. They would bank on him being able to get them back up in the second year if the worst happened. Obviously you couldn't do that for 5+ players.

They probably could get away with it for a season in the Championship, that doesnt make it a good idea though.

Football is madness these days.

If Forest are going to pay him £180k pw they ain’t going to be a top flight club for long.

Ridiculous isn't it.

"signing on fee" which will be image rights, sponsorships etc to be associated with the club. Daft.
