Jesse Lingard Yes/No?

[Spursex]

It seems that speculation is rising amongst a few circles that Jesse Lingard will be put up for sale if Manu secure a deal for Jadon Sancho.

So should we do a deal for what was one of England's brightest prospects and should be coming to an age where he's at his best?

 

[Thfctditd]

No way. Just the thought of him and Alli as our attacking options is overly depressing, why add to our problems

I really hope they don't get Sancho.

There certainly wouldn't be any point in having both Lingard and Alli at the Club, too similar. Both seem to have gone stale at their current Clubs, whereby they probably would both benefit from a move. Lingard could do well making a fresh start with us, he has proven ability.

If not this window they'll get him at the next. Dortmund can't hold onto him, they can't pay want he wants and probably deserves, Manure can.

As others have pointed out, we already have our very own Jesse Lingard.

 

[cummings]

On a free? Maybe.

 

[Nick Real Deal]

Voted no.

 

[rackny]

Resurrect a deal for Dybala. Reports say that Juve arr feeling the financial pinch and that he could be available as Pirlo looks to raise funds to shape his own squad.

Lingaard struggled for game time at United. He isnt what we need

 

[Walthamstow wanderer]

No definitely not , Never have rated him . Not what we need .

 

[stupops]

Get rid of Lamela and I would say yes.
No better.
No worse.
I think same position.
Sorts another homegrown option out.

We have quite a few Jessies!

 

[Real Deal]

Nope, we don't need another bang average player here.

he's far from bang average - I grant you he's had a bad year, but bang average he is not, whether we like it or not watch this space...

I am waiting for the reports that 'Harry is looking at a house in Alderley Edge' to start circulating!

 

[meee93]

A player who has repeatedly shown that he fails to live up to expectation far far too often, not just this year, but for many years. No thanks.

Would prefer to take a gamble on someone who maybe is unknown but with potential to play at a higher level.

 

[Matic]

The price will be over-inflated because he's English. I've personally never understood the fuss with Lindgard. What would even bring to our team?

 

[Real Deal]

I'm not the only one who thinks it. His stats are tripe.

Another egotistical average player earning more than he should.

 

[USAFSPURS]

Damn...guess I am one of the few that wouldn't mind him on the squad...

 

[muttley]

Seen him live for England a fair few times. The one word you can't use to describe him is "average" but I wouldn't call him "great" either. His game is about running and he does a load of unselfish work for the tam and can drive the team forward. Some great touches but lacks finesse at times. Our best player in the Croatia semi-final. Ran further than any player on the pitch and never gave up.

Where I object though is his age. He's 28 next b'day (December) and we should just have a clear policy of staying away from this group. He will have to adapt his game in these next 2 years anyway as you can't keep pounding around the pitch in that way.

I say stick to buying the younger players and let Jose mould them.
