Why would Fergie give him the job if he was an idiot? He wouldn't have lasted at Everton for ten years if he was
There's an enormous difference between a duff signing and giving a player you've been working with for almost a year a new five year deal. Which you know full well.
Why because it couldn't be true and that is because... Mourinho is picking Lingard . You think Lingard is a good player, there's nothing more nonsensical than that.
I've not cited a single stat and you're breathtakingly arrogant to think you speak for all fans. You're also talking shit, as you always are on this subject so there's no use discussing with you. I'm out.
Bye
So we are reduced to the manager who has won countless trophies vs random internet punters who think they know more about football than him. Interesting.
Agreed. He's just a convenient scapegoat by some who are broadly frustrated by our lack of goal production in the final third. Ultimately, its a complete team effort and we haven't demonstrated the confidence or killer instinct to put teams away. Once we sort that out, we will be nearly impossible to beat.
Agree with this.
We need players like Lingard, local lads who love the club, and accepts to be a squad player.
Still he is nowhere near similar. He also has a similar hairstyle Raoul. Doesn't mean you compare them. That's a bit like saying James Cordon is like Brad Pitt because they have the same haircut when in reality the rest of him proves the haircut irrelevant.
For one I dislike the term "haters" sounds pathetic, I don't hate him, i don't think he is good enough for Man Utd and is part of the problem not the solution.
Probably the worst and least accurate analogy in the CAF's history. It's perfectly acceptable to compare the two players without suggesting both are on the same level.
This decent shot myth needs to die off, he's scored a handful of decent goals, it doesn't make him Carlos.Has a decent shot on him, creates chances at the same ratio to Mata and Micki. Not going to find a common ground with you, so better leave it at that.
We haven't been outplayed with those 2 midfielders in the team so whats the problem?
Haters work because that's what it is pure hatred and totally irrational hatred as well of a very decent squad player playing for the club he loves and who has scored two cup final goals so far before he even hits 100 games
This is pathetic, he's not hated , he is a poor player, end of - if he was a good player he wouldn't be criticised - turning up once in a blue moon is not enough although apparently it is for some.
It's a immature phrase, again absolutely no evidence of anyone saying let's have a team of super stars, we all know it's a squad game. Lingard isn't good enough for the squad, players like lingard hold us back, there is plenty of justification just watch 90% of his games where he does nothing, I doubt he'd improve palace let alone play for united
How have Liverpool excelled? It's going to be another empty season for them, they are so inconsistent, ferguson had better players to call upon, Nani for example was a squad player and is twice the player lingard is. Same goes for Park and Solkjaer as examples, yes we had squad players but they were effective and didn't bring the level of our game down as much as he does
Lol so the comparison is pointless in the first place?
It can be an aesthetic comparison or in that case a mental comparison, their approach to pressing and moving is similar.
These sort of comparisons need to stop. I get what you are trying to say mate but Neville and Fletcher were far superior players to Lingard. Nev was one of the best right backs in europe at one point, will Lingard ever be one of the best in his position? What is his position?
There are only 3 or 4 of these rabid haters here. What they lack in reason they more than make up for it by spending unlimited energy and time. And bile too, of course.
Ok, it's funny.
No the first comparison was valid.
Doesn't mean Jose doesn't make mistakes, which he does quite often. I crucified him a few years back over on a Chelsea site for his handling of KDB and laid into the Mourinhonistas who had been taken in by Jose's demagoguery.
Not me so not everyone and i doubt too many others seriously care what one player is getting paid by their club bar the few here that apparently can't sleep at night so furious are they that United rate a player they hate
And they will sit happily on the bench without complaining !!! Great logic
You should care because player salaries affect the prices that are charged for tickets, merchandise, tv etc.
Again you're talking nonsense, some of us lived through 26 years of no titles , just an occasional cup win - Lingard wouldn't have got in the side then either - maybe we're all a bit spoilt but we're not Wigan Athletic.
Just playground stuff, Lingard as always is an easy target, even though is actually contributing more than alot of our players just now, and has achieved something many of our so called 'future stars' (Jaunuzaj, Wilson, Powell, Depay, Morrison, etc) hasn't, and actually worked his arse off, made the best of what he's got, and carved out a place in the squad, no mean feat, and well done to him.
Actually most of the people in the match thread you speak of always have an answer as to why it happened. It's usually Lingard or Fellaini's fault.
Shelvey gets 60k and he plays in the championship. Lingard gets 75k.
