He is a #10 who doesn't have a Premier League goal or assist for nearly a year and 7 months and is on 100,000 per week. How does that make him "an attractive player for many, many clubs." How many clubs in the bottom half are paying out 100,000 per week? No one is paying these prices for a guy who will give you a good work rate. I wouldn't be surprised if players like Grealish and Zaha are making less than Lingard. A lot of people are throwing around Everton's name - who does he replace in that starting 11? They are not paying 30-40 million and 100,000 per week for a squad player. No way in hell. We will get 15 million for Lingard and Woodward should run to the bank and cash that check before the manager of Lingard's new team actually sees him in practice and learns that his only quality on the practice pitch being is being "bubbly."
Is Lingard as good as gone? | Contract extended by one year
- Thread starter Red00012
- Start date
Not good enough to be anything but 7th choice for any of the 3 roles behind the Striker.
Not a chance in a million years.
On his wage, we'll have to heavily reduce his price to sell. Maybe 10m, or 15m if we pull a flanker.
Purely speculating here but I reckon Ole has given him a bit of a talk. Be a part of this vital run in, play your heart out for this club one last time and put yourself in the shop window.
Think he'll play a role for us over the next few games.

Bloody hope not, he's had more than enough chances
That's the spirit, any advance on 50m?
A Brucie bonus?
Well yeah, but i'd be surprised if clubs like Arsenal, Tottenham, Everton, Newcastle and newly promoted Leeds are not interested, and if we play them off against each other, and use the press to our advantage we'll get a damn sight more than a few of the wags in here think we will, that's for sure.
Time will tell.
Hardly demanding now was I? if you don't want to play along fine.
Yeah and in one hit, none of this installments nonsense.
2 M per goal it should be!
If you hang on stats you won't think he's worth much, but remember, form is temporary, class is permanent
Only another Premier league will take him e.g. West Ham, Leeds and etc. If Cleverly and Welback is still in the Premier league than Jessie will find a home but at lower wages.
I think that’s the thing you’re trying to “play” and not serious
Now I know you’re wumming
He has a far better injury record than Welbeck, if I were Watford I would get rid of Danny and bring Jesse in.
The £37-45M that Class of 63 is saying isn't actually 'that' exaggerated, if it weren't for his wages. Either we're going to have to drop our asking price significantly so that the buying club can pay him similarly (either as a weekly wage or as a one-off signing bonus), or Lingard is going to have to be happy to sign for a low wage for us to get a good price. I guess it depends on how desperate he is to leave for game time, and how desperate we will be to sell him to put that money (both transfer fee and the wage saving) towards other players. We'll probably meet somewhere in the middle and we'll get more than some in here are expecting but obviously lower than a couple of others think.
It's the same issue we're going to have to shift most of the players people want to sell. We pay our squad players far too much, more than what many teams even in the premier league pay their best players.

The difference is that Welbeck is a good player when fit. He’d be a very good sub for us currently given his ability on the break and the fact he can play any of the three forward positions. Jesse hasn’t looked like a premiership footballer for two seasons unfortunately.
Also, no one is paying more than £10 million for Lingard. He doesn’t have enough end product or recent form to justify any more than that.

No need for that, i've obviously got a higher opinion of the lad than you and your chums, an opinion shared by most in the game by the way.
It's absolute nonsense that's what it is Lingard has one year on his contract with option of another year which we can activate assuming he is on 100000 a week which is hard to believe , If any team would be foolish enough to rate him as 40m talent with a year on his contract they should not have any problems paying his wages nor Lingard should have any problem taking slight pay cut if it comes to that because of new contract length but the truth is we would be Lucky to get anywhere between 10-15 m at best for him.
I do not understand the grief he gets from fans. Jess very good player, he’s not a goal scorer or even an assister but he’s a very good player and just doesn’t suit playing in a dominant team. In games where counter attacking is key he’s one of the most important players. I like him and would prefer him to stay but I think from a playing perspective he would play every week in a foreign team or mid table prem team.
Ha ha, if he is still there. I think he'd do well up there (Jesse)
name checks out
They'd love him up in NewCastle.
Finally someone speaking a bit of sense.
We wouldn't get 40m but if he was on a lower wage I could definitely see 30m. A 27yo England international (borderline first choice/squad player) who has generally been decent at Utd and has two years left on his contract. Has struggled for the last 12-18 months but plenty of teams in the league would fancy him getting over that and being a good player for them. With the amount of money in the league these days it could have been on (although the pandemic obviously might change things).
That's a weird pitch... Play your heart out for us so you can market yourself for the next team
Nah, gone is better.
Welbeck is never a good player. He is a striker who scores every 5.5 matches , and has pretty mediocre gameplay.
He's not the best player United have but that one goal to win us the FA Cup mean he leaves a bigger footprint in the club's history than most people who've played for the club.
I read welbeck's name and in me head I see the 1 on 1 against Real. The dumb feck chip he tried as if we were 5-0 up against Burnley
This x million. That game resulted in a huge scar in my soul.
Which proves Lingard is not class.. His entire career has shown that he can't deliver on a steady basis and that his standard level of play isn't good enough. When he's on form he's a decent player but the problem is and has always been that he's on form for about 4-5 games once every 6-18 months.
Happy wumming good sir you had me for a couple posts
He’ll be forgotten about a week after he leaves like cleverly
Seems logical to me.That's a weird pitch... Play your heart out for us so you can market yourself for the next team
United fan. Grew up in Manchester. Knowing yourself you're heading off.
I think giving your all for the club for one last run in while also working towards the best possible move elsewhere makes sense.
To each their own.
That was Bayern wasn't it? I seem to remember it was Neuer he was nonchalantly trying to chip.
Who?
So he runs fast in counter attacks is about his only attribute?
Doesn't score.
Doesn't assist.
Cant play in dominant teams.
The days of United carrying the likes of him are over.
