According to someone on the Swansea forum he'll be loaned back to them next season.

I was worried this wasn't going to happen, come onnnn lad!
So Sky are talking bollocks. I am shocked, no one could've seen this coming. It truly is a mystery why newspapers/sport journos get away with so much shit.
We have Rashford, Martial and Sanchez all on the left?! He's not a right winger, unlike some thought early on.
He's Welsh...
Chill guys
Imagine front 3 of James - Rashford - Lingard. 1000 minutes without scoring a goal would be a normal occurrence 
He's better than Chong by some distance.
Yes, a player who scored 4 goals in the championship 
They. Are. Scared.
They. Are. Scared.
Yeah exactly. We should only sign high profile expensive players with minimum 50 international caps.
So my concern is that we'll be spending 15m on a winger that hasn't really lit up the Championship. He relies heavily on pace by the knocking the ball forward and trying to beat his man which is very reminiscent of Valencia. However, this guy can use both feet. He looks more than a Full back than a winger to me. I think when he comes against the likes of Van Dijk and other top CBs, he'll be nullified pretty easily. Also in games where teams sit back and we need to break them down, I don't see him being effective either.
What's up with Sky? A few years back, a deal announced by Sky was as good as done. Now, even they are totally unreliable. Journalist standards have dropped a lot.
Except Mata is unlikely to be an option next season. His options will probably be Lingard/James/Chong/Greenwood. Maybe Dybala too if you can call him a winger.
For all the idiots who keep questioning his goal scoring record please remember that we have Jesse lingard whose goals scoring is the same . And people believe his movement is the second coming of Jesus
Different role surely. Zaha would want to be playing each week
Maybe we should sign players that can go in our first team too. Maybe we will after tying up this one. Maybe we won't.
Let's look to last year and see how we followed up a youth signing
A 15m player? I'm excited. Thought we could only buy expensive flops.

We set the bar very very low if we look to sign players better than Jesse
There are about 100 better players in Championship alone.I heard about him just couple of days ago but I know that if we end up buying him for 15M, he is an overrated pace merchant and we will be overpaying. If anyone else buys, then he is next big thing and it will be deal of century for that club.
But crapper than Mane and Salah by an even greater distance. Go figure.
What about Mane?
He was a player i wanted at United so I cant laugh about him - but I never expected him to be as good as he turned out
This is the kind of signing I want to see us making. Young, talented, British and doesn't even cost much.
Also if he's a success then Leeds fans will be furious.
Also if he's a success then Leeds fans will be furious.
And there is no one at OT capable of denying him that
He at least has pace. Jesse lingard has beard which resembles my pubes
Why don't we wait and see what happens first?So it begins
And younger.
I recall when Liverpool spent £36m on Mane that a large portion of this forum couldn't get over it and didn't think he was good enough, and were happier that we got Martial.
It's almost as if you can't tell at the age of 21 what a player's ceiling is, or something.
Mo Salah at 21 was a flop at Chelsea
Mane had just signed for Red Bull after a fairly average season at Metz
You cant really compare Dan James at 21 to Salah and Mane at 27-28
So it's a nonstory then.
I'd rather have Brooks.
Don't worry guys, SSN got this!
Don't know anything about this guy but cheap enough that there isn't much risk to us signing him.
No one actually thinks highly of Lingard except for Sports Channel Pundits. And I don't think we should be getting a player just because Lingard has set the bar really low. For the RW, we should be going all out for Pepe. This is such a no brainer. If the Right footed winger is not someone who hugs the touchline, we should go with an inverted winger and depend on our new RB to provide the width.
Yeah because both of them will be in similar price range. These type of posts are fairly useless.
I was annoyed at Bale - I was destroyed with Ramsey. I had just seen Ramsey in a Wales U18 game a few weeks before, and I have hardly seen any player dominate a game as much as he did. When i saw him in that game, I expected him to be a lot better than he turned out.
I bet the people in here moaning about us signing that guy are the same ones who fume over us not getting players like Robertson and Alli.
I recall opposite. Mane was massively sought after and sections of the caf were still worried about us going for Mkhitaryan instead (it wasn't about Martial. Mane was a RW prospect from Southampton).
Anyway we hoped Mkhi would be better than Mane and he wasn't. A bit like the Depay vs Firminho thing in years before.
And a lot younger and not coming here to be either of those. How old were those 2 when they became how good they are? 25? 26?
If you think a 15m kid from the championship is coming in to be our saviour then more fool you.
I'm happy with this potential signing, however just because we have Lingard in our team it doesn't mean that we should all be happy with anyone that has a better scoring record than Lingard, moreover it's not exactly difficult to find such player
He's being signed as a prospect you lunatic.
The post "I'd rather have Brooks" sums it up nicely here.
He had three goals in the previous Championship season and was signed by Bournemouth for a similar price and yet most people would be happy to spend 40-45m(including me) just after one season.
