Makes sense just like in Jones case
Is Lingard as good as gone? | Contract extended by one year
- Thread starter Red00012
- Start date
So, we as per usual extend contract on stupid wages only for the reason we 'could' get more for him.
Then wonder why no one wants to buy Utd 'cast offs' because their offer is too low.

Always worth a punt with a young player .
I can’t imagine this being true unless Lingard is taking a massive pay cut. We’ve been trying to loan him/sell him for a year, he even hired Raiola to try and get a move abroad. Unless the deal is to retain a fee for him and still agree to sell him at the first opportunity?
What the hell are you talking about? He probably devoted the time he was spending playing video games to looking after his business. It had no effect on his football. His family problems and his subsequent loss of confidence on the pitch just had a snowball effect that he hasn't recovered from. The JLingz brand does not/did not let the club down.
I still like him for when Lukaku stood waiting to celebrate with him against Arsenal, and he just ran straight past him to do some weird dance.
Since every clubs are running on fume, I don't see cash offer. So might be something like loan for 6 months, cash for X million if we stay in EPL.
You think we'll be relegated?
That's a really good point. Once you sign him, there's no way but down in terms of reveal-videos on teh tik-tok. Serious consideration.
Look at how well these pointless contract extensions worked out for us with Jones and (to a lesser degree) Matic. United never fecking learn.
Oh redcafe, never change.
Deep down, Woodward will always want to Woodward, even if it looks like he's not Woodwarding due to all the recent youth signings. (although in theory this could be a shot-across-the-bow to any clubs wanting to sign him 'on a free' this summer. This could be the club trying to do Lingard's camp 'a favor' in return for them promising a move away this summer.)
Glass half-full. Me likey.

Why he's getting an extension? Hell, he doesn't even make the bench in most games. Makes zero sense, what the feck?
Lingard is staying. Those who want to cry, please do so now.
The only explanation that makes sense to me is that our admin are doing a favour / looking after a player that has come through the ranks. I suspect they have told him that he could leave but he hasn’t been able to find a club. Rather than being released and having no club (while having dodgy fitness and no match practise), they are going to let tim stick around and release him when a club comes around.
In order to do what exactly? His services as a footballer are no longer needed - we have much better squad players and talented youngsters to play his role. Lingard brings zero additional value to the team
The old Lingard is actually a decent squad option for us to have, and he was showing glimpses of that in his more recent games.
I hope this contract signifies that he’s actually dedicating himself to his football again, rather than the other bullshit he’s synonymous with.

Bonus if he’s a local lad.
Maybe he adds some kind of marketing value in terms of younger fans? And when I say younger, I mean children that love YouTube etc
We are all know why Lingard is getting one, it’s to maintain his value so we can get few pounds, it’s for money not football reason. This is down to Ed or the board decision not Ole. Ole’s decision is football reason, when it’s about money, there is only one person being responsible.
This is where the club has changed since Sir Alex left and Ed got promoted, they now think money alone can make player happy. If we can sell, fine, but clearly the reason why Lingard didn’t leave the club last summer because no clubs want to pay the money. Why the board thinks it’s not the same thing as wasting money to keep paying wages for players who don’t play football and gamble that there will be club who wants to pay the money? I never understand this.

Good thing we are keeping these promising youngsters under our wing.
I predict he will have his break through in a couple of years

I'm sure there's a reason for the earring while training.
God he boils my piss.
Am I too old at 40 or is this just acceptable these days
I noticed after the Everton game that he came onto the field with Ole to congratulate the players. Then while getting off, Ole and him were being very pally with each other, smiling and giggling. Finally Ole gave him a pat on the head before sending him his way. I was really surprised about why Lingard looked to happy when he didn’t even get a sniff? Now I know what was cooking.
You really hit the jackpot as a player at mufc
sorry I meant the borrowing club
He is unsellable
I'm sure if you look you'll see other players with earrings while training too.
I wouldn't have it.
It must be more an accountancy thing rather than a genuine belief that anyone is suddenly going to storm in with a decent offer. If they were really keen they'd be tapping him up behind the scenes and saying don't sign on and we'll give you even sillier wages when you're a free agent.
They probably still have Jones on the books worth 20m and Lingard could go on as similar.
Then there's probably some sort of knock on that the real financial bods use to leverage against something or other.
We need to start looking at some of the issues affecting our players and giving them a break.
I've been hearing and reading about his family situation with his mother and siblings and he deserves kudos for taking care of his sister and brother whilst his mum has been receiving treatment.
Ole has also recently come out and said that covid has affected Lingards training and game time. He hasn't had the virus but has had to isolate a few times because of his "bubbles". I'm assuming this is linked with his family situation.
So let's give the lad a break and hope he can sort himself out and come back to be a useful and integral part of the team.

It's not always that simple. Fans tend to just look at one side, usually the negative.
Like I said above Jesse has had family issues and it's worth taking those into consideration.
Similarly the Raiola issue had a story to it too. One of the stories was that Jesse was going to be used as part of a deal to get Madison from Leicester. His hiring Raiola was to get a deal abroad.
He has since parted company with Raiola and any negotiations will be by his representatives who are his family.
Found lingard's redcafe account.
Ole is handling this well. He knows Lingard is no where near good enough and he has phased him out gently, without disrupting the team harmony or spirit.
What he says publicly, or to the players, is diplomatic and with purpose. Ultimately, he can see things clearly, which is why Lingard is not even on the bench these days.

You mean you've fallen for the PR put out by his team. The lad can employ 3 people full time easily to make his siblings cornflakes. Don't be so gullible.
Struggling to think what we might actually need him for???
I think we should return back to a simpler way ie when no one is bigger then the club. If Lingard can't step up then he can move to a less demanding club
Called this months ago
if Matic can get 3 more years after about 10 good performances in the last 2 seasons and Jones can get a new deal then Jesse was a certainty to be renewed. Yet another curious decision. How are we going to sell him after a renewal when he’s already on too much to sell?

Welcome Lingard like a new signing. He, Jones and Rojo will be just like the three amigos in the new year.
Other bullshit, like taking care of his younger siblings and dealing with his mother's mental illness.
