Popular Post c1982 Posted July 21, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted July 21, 2021 This is the kind of signing I DO NOT want - he did well at West Ham but we’d be spending (wasting in my opinion) a big fee and wages on someone who has no resale and isn’t great. I’m fine with Townsend on a free and I’m fine with taking a chance on Gray for such a low fee but this, to me, is a prime example of what’s got us into this mess e.g same bracket as Walcott, Bolasie, Sigurdsson, Tosun.

markjazzbassist Posted July 21, 2021 Report Share Posted July 21, 2021 Did well for west ham but that was with a manager he has a relationship with. I don’t see this being a good idea for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well put. Plus I can see him becoming the player he was at United. A useless nothing player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hafnia Posted July 21, 2021 Report Share Posted July 21, 2021 Good player. Loads of ability. Inconsistent but if Rafa can get the most from him then yeah. What's the fee? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shukes Posted July 21, 2021 Report Share Posted July 21, 2021 He has just had a great season for West Ham and is the main reason they did so well last season. But we’re Everton, we’ll still turn our noses up because he isn't a young next big thing. He may not be a great player, but he is a very good player. See I feel our options are: 1: But an expensive risk and blow pretty much our budget on one player that could be great 2: use our budget to strengthen in several positions, without managing to find that Marquee signing. Question is, which would be the most beneficial for the club? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chicagoblue Posted July 21, 2021 Report Share Posted July 21, 2021 Would 100% depend on the fee. But, if the fee were low he'd be going back to West Ham, so this is a non-starter. Sibdane 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But on the other hand, you could be right and he may turn back into his Man U form. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question is, which would be the most beneficial for the club? I think it is a little bit of a case that if we got him then we would be buying him at the wrong end of the market. Lingard has been out of form for a while, he has a good 6 months and now his price and his wages will go back to reflect his value at his peak. He could be a good signing or he could be a dud but whatever he would be signed towards the top of his value rather than where he should realistically be.

Shukes Posted July 21, 2021 Report Share Posted July 21, 2021 Very good point Bailey. It would be dependant on the price as with anyone. Paying top dollar for a player at his peak is what we have done over the last few years. Bailey 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fosse Captain Posted June 3, 2022 Report Share Posted June 3, 2022 Not sure it’s the type of player we need. I know he’s ‘free’ so probably one of the reasons he’s linked. Prefer to see Alli in the team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c1982 Posted June 3, 2022 Report Share Posted June 3, 2022 If the emphasis is on youth and we’re able to shift a few of the ‘older’ players like Gomes, Mina, Keane, Rondon, Townsend - then I wouldn’t be totally against this. Having Lingard and Tarkowski on ‘frees’ can help younger players - even in the same position settle in and develop. I’m sure we had the same idea when we signed Delph to ‘help’ Gbamin - that didn’t work but the idea was there!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoo 2.0 Posted June 3, 2022 Report Share Posted June 3, 2022 I'd rather have a Chang in a plastic cup than sign Jesse Lingard. StevO and Romey 1878 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palfy Posted June 3, 2022 Report Share Posted June 3, 2022 He’s a difficult player to workout, was cast into the wilderness at Utd then goes to West Ham and is given the opportunity to show what he still has in his locker, and elevated himself to the steal of the season imo, wasn’t allowed to sign or stay on loan Utd saw and remembered what they had been missing, forced him to return with promises of opportunities but they didn’t materialise. Utd's problems with management recruitment have been as bad or if not worse than our own and some players end up being victims of an unstable regime, this is how I see it with him proof being give him to a decent manager in a stable club and he can perform immediately, something we haven’t seen from Alli would I have here yes I would, would I swop him for Alli yes I would.

Bailey Posted June 3, 2022 Report Share Posted June 3, 2022 The big issue for me would be his wages. He showed at West Ham that he can be a useful player in the right situation but do we want to spunk another £100k a week on a player who might play well for a bit but also might decide he has had enough and sulk around the club. I want us to move away from these type of players, not sign more of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
