Incoming? Midfielder?

[Flatulent_Bob]

I'm sorry but what am I missing? How has he ever demonstrated that he's a level above what we have?

We have Lunny. Are you seriously suggesting you'd rather have Lunny over Lingard?

 

[bromtom]

'JLingz' despite spending more time in adverts than on a football pitch, is a decent footballer that's been buried under his own ego and the pressure of playing for the worst version Manchester United since for the best part of 30 years.

I've no doubt he'd do well with us, however he's probably on £150k a week so it's not happening.

Don’t understand why no PL team wants to sign Radja Naingolan. He is made for the PL. Inter wants to sell him and he has a valuation of 12 mio eur. That should be no problem for PL teams for a world class midfielder who is not only defensively strong but also scores a few goals each season.

I'd imagine his age and reputation off the pitch don't help.

 

[Snowflake]

How many England caps do our current midfield have between them?

....but they have a number of international caps between them

 

[Greg.]

Anyway, we're going for a midfield of:

Buendia Berge Roca

I wish

They have scored the same amount of prem goals in the past 2 seasons, only John has played 25 less games. Oh, and Jesse is on £100,000 a week for that tremendous output. So yeah, probably would tbh, considering we are comparing their merit in the RCM role for their attacking output.

JR7 for us - 8 goals in 91 games.
Lingard since JR7 joined us - 22 goals in 82 games.

What's more important, their form 5 years ago, or their performance in the past 2 years? And does the fact that Lingard is on £100k a week mean nothing to you? This isn't FIFA mate.

It's 3 seasons pal, and I've thrown Lunny a bone as 2 of them for him was in the Championship.

.....apart from me specifically mentioning it as a key point as to why this deal won't happen in post 23?

 

[Boxer Blade]

As a footballer I'd definitely have him but to balance it out he's called Jessie

I am specifically talking about since we were promoted, which is my entire point.

Ah, so just last season where Lunny turned up for half of it and you're compared to Lingards worst season in a struggling side.
You aren't looking for a fair comparison of who is the better player and just want to load the figures in your favor then I can't take you seriously.

I'll go back to my original post, Lingard is clearly the superior player and we'd be perfect for each other, but we know what Man Utd are like on wages and loans.

As are you, by stretching the sample back to a time where the numbers suit your argument more lol. Be consistent mate!

So Lingard didn't ask for that money? They just offered it to him? Interesting.

I used a 3 season sample for fairness, you want to use 1 where Jesse was injured, and at time where his club were struggling and it's come to light he had his own mental health issues due to some pretty nasty abuse. Loftus-Cheek score fewer goals last season, would you claim he is also inferior to Lunny too?
I've genuinely no idea what you are on about with him asking for money. I'm simply saying we can't afford him, but the notion that he's not a better player right now, at every level than Lunny is for the birds. It's nonsense.

You're saying that he would be perfect for us, I'm saying that someone who at best has been mediocre expects £100k a week would not be 'perfect' for Wilder. If you cannot comprehend that, it's your problem.

 

[Flatulent_Bob]

5 seasons for Man Utd averaging over 40 games a season and picking up 24 England Caps.
Aye - he'd be bang average compared to Lunny. FFS!

We can't afford him, and there'll be bigger more established sides in for him than us anyway but that logic of yours is astounding.

 

[LondonBlade89]

He’d probably do well for us in the RCM role but we’d need to pay way more in wages than we’d be comfortable doing. It’s a non-starter not worth discussing, IMO.

[FriethBlade]

Well if Carlsberg did transfer wiindows........

Heads would roll

 

[Bladesdoc]

Odds have shortened on Brooks.

 

[FTPE]

Is he available on loan do we know?
If he is we are in the running.

Loan to buy would be my guess, then use the money Bournemouth owe us plus the sell on to reduce the fee in a years time

 

[nickwr37]

£1 on and let's review the odds. Would be great IMO if we can bag a loan. Good mates with Rammy so......You never know what's next with us on this rollercoaster

 

[Flatulent_Bob]

Why is everyone acting so stupid?

Wilder makes a totally throwaway comment about an ex-player who we can’t afford and suddenly twitter and shit wannabe media make up an interest.

This entirely baseless rumour is then shared and pushed around online, until further rumours circulate. Based on this horseshit people pay money with bookies, driving down the odds, which further feeds the rumours.

Within the next week this will hit an online paper, and we may even get Nicko claiming knowledge.
All whipping this into a frenzy for the next couple of weeks, and all without any basis in reality, but it will generate clicks and interest.

It's the rumour mill. Powder up all those tweets, cut it with some sky bet odds, roll up an Alan Nixon article and get snorting.

 

[Upton_Blade]

I really can't quite believe the Grunter level of deludamol in this thread. Lingard has played regularly for one of the biggest teams in the world and performed well for his country at a major tournament and yet he's not good enough for us? Jesus wept!

Poor defensively, over inflated wages, no better output then midfielders we already have. The man has also become a laughing stock due to his average performances yet over the top off field persona. A good season 3-4 years ago and a goal against Panama does not make him a potential upgrade for us IMHO.

 

[Le Cynique]

And to counter the Lundstram vs Lingard argument: why not neither?

The funniest bit is when people cite the odds, as if it's some kind of indication of the deal being more/less likely
