Makes no sense. Did he think he would roll up for pre-season and suddenly become a starter. Surely the signing of Sancho and Ronaldo will further limit his opportunities.So he wants more playing time yet had the chance to move this year for more playing time but didn’t do so.
Especially with all these kids coming through added to the fact that the likes of Andreas are still to come back from loan. We should be letting Jesse, Jones, Axel/Bailly, Matic and Juan go.
See I can’t understand posts like this it benefits no one for JLingz to sit on the bench and pick up a paycheque not even him, he’s going to cost the club however amount of millions in wages plus whatever selling on fee he has and adds another year to his own stumbling career, totally pointless. It looks to me Jesse only is interested in a big signing on fee to end his career.
He is the one who rejected westham
Apparently turned down westham.
Even if that was the case, so be it. It's our club that decides to hand out contracts like absolute madmen so why shouldn't he fulfil his. I'm pretty indifferent about it. The only thing that would annoy me a tad is if we renew him again.
Yes, he turned down West Ham, West Ham isn't the only club in the world. It's not just this instance it's a problem we've had for a long time and there have been no signs of that changing. If Jesse played for Chelsea he'd be on his way to Roma for 35 Million. We're gonna let him go for free. If people don't see this as a recurring problem idk what to say. It's not sustainable to let our players go for free and expect the club to spend 100+ mill every summer. Chelsea just broke their transfer fee record but still ended up with a negative net spend and people will say Chelsea are ruining football.
Eugh, not another. This narrative is just nonsense. Complete nonsense. He doesn’t have a brand if he doesn’t play football does he? He doesn’t make the England squad if he doesn’t play football does he? If you know anything about our players you couldn’t say that lingard has given up on football
Why is it strange? Does every loanee join the club they played for briefly on loan? I must have missed that rule
I’d be very surprised if there wasn’t some kind of pre agreement with West Ham and he’ll sign at the end of the season. If I’m correct he’s a massive twat..
That’s nonsense he’s trying to milk whatever out of his brand as possible. If he was serious about football he’d be trying for a move years ago but no he happy to sit on the bench at United he’s even done it this summer again, what are you watching exactly?
Because he wants to play at the club he loves for as long as he can? fecking hell, the state on this place on times.
By not signing a contract? Your reasoning doesn’t add up at all..
You need to stop reading internet myths and read some facts
He wants to stay at the club he loves but probably knows it’s his last season. Really not rocket science.
Chelsea literally had a hard time getting rid of Zouma because he only wanted to stay in London. Players can only be sold to where they want to go.
I’m not reading any myths, mate.
It's an accounting thing. It's better to keep the asset on our books instead of writing off a loss.
If he knows it’s his last season why didn’t he leave in the summer?
Of course we could not have spent another 75 million. But if we had sold VdB (who I rate, but Ole does not) as well that brings us down to 50m. Perhaps sell Fred for 25m and that brings us down to a new net 25m spend to bring in Rice (overrated IMO, but is unquestionably is an upgrade on Fred) which would have been worth it to address the hole at CDM.
See I have nothing wrong with this if that’s the case we need to have squad players as well as first teamers but to not sign a contract just doesn’t add up..
Well you’re spouting the same nonsense that other idiots have been saying and you’re usually an ok poster so it seems you’ve been brainwashed to not think for yourself somewhere
What??
I had to laugh when I saw the report that Lingard had rejected a contract, he has played United like a fiddle.
Don’t speak sense. Apparently there’s an unwritten rule that players that aren’t in current vogue MUST leave so we can get another shiny thing
So to reject a contract with the reason you want first team football is laughable when you had the chance to move for it. Can't stand players like this, money is important than playing time. The fact he is picked by England when not starting games for his club and someone like Greenwood isn't is more of a joke.
But he has rejected the contract offer saying he wants first team football so the above is not the case.
Except he doesn't seem to be fine with sitting on the bench every week, at least according to recent reports?
I don't blame him for doing that, he must have seen what they did to Bailly and thought "I'm not getting into that situation". For Utd to offer him a new contract assurances must have been given to him that he will be part of the first team.I had to laugh when I saw the report that Lingard had rejected a contract, he has played United like a fiddle.
All so predictable too...
