I took the Lingard ones as sarcastic reactions to the Pogba suggestions.
More worryingly, I think some of the Pogba suggestions were genuine.

I dislike Pogba and thought he was more crap and frustrating and a distraction than the brilliant player he was billed to be but I have a feeling he'd be really good as the left 10 close to goal. Doesn't have to get back beyond the halfway line. He's got a good bust of pace, can hold a player off and draw fowls. He's got a good cross and pass on him too. Ugh I can't believe I'm saying this. He'll probaly just get injured straight away again anyway. I also kind of miss Jeppers the nutter wherever he's gone. If Pogba comes back he'll appear again. Now we have Doracle in the Rashford thread...
re: Pogba, I think Casemiro and Eriksen showed how short term thinking creates a bigger problem than it solves. Even with the best will and work ethic, the body gives out.
It’s the exact type of deal SJR wanted to keep away from and I hope he remains of the same mindset.

I get your point, but I would not put Eriksen and Casemiro in the same bracket. Eriksen was on a free transfer, shorter contract, with a view to being a bench option, with a decent salary given that there was no fee for him. Casemiro, on the other hand, managed to fool most of us with his first season, we paid 70m for him and gave a him salary where he is now almost nontransferable, and he was the answer to our midfield imbalance. His legs went overnight.
He'd be on a free and normalish wages now and he's past his prime so he'd be back with his tail between his legs hooefully with something to prove. I can't believe I'm saying it but he's perfect for a forward role in this system. He can hold the ball up so well and he's creative
Yes let's sign the previously highly injury prone player that hasn't played football foe the last year to play in a position he has never played before. That will work
I'd not take Pogba even if he offered to play for free. That's how wrong he is for our team.
There have been no links for a possible Pogba transfer. I think this might require a separate thread for anyone who wants to discuss Pogba's past performances as it's definitely not transfer related.
His artistic ability when it comes to our feathered friends aside, I still put more weight on the side of all the negatives and don't think we should go anywhere near signing him as he returns from his drugs ban.
Same. That ship sailed long even before he left.

PLEASE STOP TALKING ABOUT RANDOM PLAYERS, EVERYONE. This is a thread for tweets and initial discussion about those tweets. Thanks.

This shoud support our case to ask more money for Garna. In a world where Tel goes for 60m€, any deal for Garna should be closer to 80m€ if not more.
And Duran going for reportedly £65m - which is about 80m in euros. Shouldn't be failing to receive for Garnacho any less than Villa received for him.
Absolutely. Bare minimum he should be leaving for to any club is €80m. If its Chelsea, bare minimum should be €100m.
Yeah but Saudi's have to pay over the odds just like we do
Bayern got him for 30m, he's been average there and then they double their money, only bayern.
Dorgu saw the, ‘Another 48hrs,’ thing in the contract so is abiding with that.
This rules us out, I would imagine
Kvaratskhelia went for about that didn't he?
The prices in this window are crazy.
Mind you. I've got 45 quid in my wallet tonight and even that is too much for Rashford

It's mad how everyone rules us out so quickly.
"Tel wants to wait and make a decision" Which is referring to the below:
Yet the very second something positive something comes out about Man Utd we have to question it
We don't have £50m.
Not necessarily; right now, Tel won't make a decision until he gets all of the options. So far, Spurs are the furthest ahead as they've come to a verbal (i.e. broad) agreement on the fee for a permanent transfer. This doesn't necessarily mean that Tel wants to join Spurs permanently. He might still want to remain at Bayern Munich next season should they guarantee him more minutes. That's all he wants at the end of the day: regular playing time.
If Spurs can guarantee him that regular playing time, and Bayern Munich say that they won't ever be able to give him that in the near future, then Tel will likely go to Spurs. Otherwise, he can still join United should Bayern promise more playing time next season or United put in a purchase option that they can trigger should Tel be successful.
If he says he only wants us it doesn't matter. Might get better able to go loan plus option if that's the case.
Spurs could offer 60 but means nothing unless the player agrees to move there.
We could do loan with option to buy. Gives all parties flexibility.
We’re shit but not Spurs shit, so I think we could get him on loan ahead of them easily.
we don't but like others have said we can do a loan
Good that he clarified that Thursday and Friday aren’t the weekend, so not he days he will have his medical.
Would have been confusing otherwise!
Pogba won’t be coming back. First, it will take him time to get match fit. He’s hasn’t played in a year and a half after already being injured for much of his ‘playing year’. Our season ends in May. So I think we can stop this nonsense in its tracks
He could be an ‚inspirational‘ presence in the dressing room.
We don’t need backing dancers. We need footballers who are fit and professional
Seriously??
Have we learned nothing from Sanchez, Pogba, DiMaria, Ronaldo, Cavani, Varane, Casemiro etc….
How many players are going to be "the problem" in the dressing room until we realise maybe we have just been shit
I think if he does come, it will be a courtesy by the club to let him train to get fitness for a move to a club.
"Why did we play badly today, Rueben?"
"Well, there was a lot of focus on mastering the latest tiktok challenge this week during training"
We don’t even owe him that. He and his agent made a mug of this club twice. We shouldn’t touch him with a 100ft barge pole.

Just training with us would upset the team mojo
