They had almost identical stats
It would, at this stage any sort of fee for a player who clearly isn't in the managers plans would be a decent fee and £10-15m would be quite good.
I remember the same optimism surrounding the fees we would receive for Darmian, £25-35m+ yet he ended up leaving for less than £2m.
Same with Lingard I honestly don't know where these ideas come from that we're going to get £25m+ for a 28 year old, with less than a year left on his contract, who's a decent/good player but wildly inconsistent. And that's without even mentioning Covid.
He's only worth what buying clubs are willing to pay. And to be honest it's very arguable he's been worth anything north of £20m for years.Had we sold him in 2018 at 25 after his standout season for United then yeah £25-35m would have been the asking price. But since then I'm not so sure.
Well if he leaves for a fee of around £15m now vs leaving for nothing next year then the club would be £20m+ better off including his wages. Even for a club like United £20m is a significant amount of money.

All 3 of those players are 5 years younger than Lingard, almost certainly were on less wages maybe around half in some cases and probably had more years on their contracts left.
I’m surprised there has not been much interest in him. You’d think a club like Villa could use him after losing Grealish. Maybe even Leceister.
There was talk of Villa being interested, not sure how reliable it was though. Hopefully West Ham will buy him for £20 m +
What about Ings, same age and contract situation went for 25mil. Ings is even more injury prone. 20mil + for me is fair. Anything under that I'd say no.
This will be very unpopular but I'm not against keeping him as a back up to Bruno, the amount of football they'll played and the amount with Qatar coming will create so many injures.
Jesse disappoints not just on the pitch, also off it 
th
The kind of backup who doesnt create or score?
Anyone think he'll run his contract down or leave on the cheap(er) side in January?
Selling him is our only chance of being able to make one more signing this window
What do you mean disappeared again?
I can’t say this enough. They.are.skint

Goalscorers ALWAYS go for more in the market
By the inability to move to another club
So the players fault? Strange take on it
It appears so, even though it was a bit tongue in cheek.
Don’t understand how it’s the players fault

Needs to take a leaf out of Harry's book, obviously.
I’m confused even more now
I wasn't entirely serious...
I’m confused what you meant in the first place
I'm assuming Escobar means he should go.on strike to force a move. Not sure how it helps in this case as you also need a buyer.
Oh I see.
well the biggest issue is that West Ham are skint as are other teams. Hell even we made 2 signings based on pay later foundation’s
Then we have him coming back in good form asking what his chances at United are, nothing wrong there from his POV
So coming back to @Escobar point i don’t see how it’s the lads fault. I get people are frustrated but it’s not the players fault
I just worry about ole picking Lingard and him playing for us yesterday.
I actually liked the player whilst he was here but feels like his time is up and should be used for transfer benefits.
Did not feel good seeing him.
I wonder if it shows that United are either not interested in Declan Rice (& used Lingard to drop prices down) or that West Ham have still overvalued him.

Maybe one last throw of the dice and putting him in the shop window to generate some interest, in an effort to try to get him shifted.
Somewhat surprised that he hasn’t secured a move so far. His performances certainly proved he would be a great signing for a mid table club.
It is obvious that he is staying or do what Real Madrid did to James, which is let him leave for free to get his wage off the book.
Yet about to buy Zouma for 20 odd million….
Probably done in payments spread out over years
Isn't that the norm? Leicester asking for Harry's full fee upfront was a pretty significant aspect of the deal if I recall correctly.
So just like most transfers so nothing unusual, unlike complete transfer fee paid upfront which are rare.
Pretty sure United would be up for instalments as it‘s obvious we need a sale or 2
I am surprised Aston Villa haven’t gone for him after selling Grealish. Both for first team and for squad purposes, even if signing Buendia and Bailey. Lingard - Buendia - Bailey is pretty good, and all can swap positions. Watkins and Ings in front of them, Traore, Ramsey et al in reserve. I did not think Lingard would be good enough for a team like Villa six months ago, but his stint at West Ham showed me otherwise. Fair play to him, I seldom have to admit stuff like that.
Villa can also afford Lingard, whatever he would cost between 20-40 million. Lingard however, for some utterly bizarre reason, would think he is too good for Villa and that’s his career summarized to be fair.

Why can we not do a deal like 10-15 mil guaranteed fee plus 5 mil add-on if West Ham reach Europe, etc.
We should really sell him this transfer window.
We should really sell him this transfer window.
We cannot do that deal because at the end of the day he can only be sold for what people are willing to pay and at this late stage of the window it is fairly clear nobody is offering that sort of money. In this situation we really have very limited leverage, looking at transfers around Europe a lot of decent players are moving for fairly minimal fees and a ton of loan deals are happening also. We have to sell as a loan does us no good so we have limited options and any clubs interested know that and will try and deal for as little as they can. I don't see any sort of future for Jesse here and so we will probably end up selling him on deadline day for whatever we can get as any kind of fee plus saving on his wages is better than running his contract down as an unused squad member.
Guess that's why they're not bidding for lingard then
This is supposed to be our Lingard money. Everything that can go wrong is definitely going wrong. After all the goals he gave them this is how they reward him?
How have West Ham found £30m for Zouma but they couldn't find £25m for Jessie? They're hoping to get him on a free aren't they? Something shady happening here
