I agree with this.
People commenting that Ole told him in a private convo that he was staying.... well that was "private" then wasn't it?
Secondly, Moyes will say that to save face with West Ham because firstly they were not offering anywhere near £20m to sign him but signed Vlasic for £25m and secondly, Ole will not say, nah we don't want him, take him. I mean most signings we make, the manager wants to keep the player, that doesn't mean we don't sign them.
Finally, evidence shows that Jesse was not going to start or get games. However well he did, sometimes as a player you have to realise yourself that you will not get ahead of Bruno, Rashford, Greenwood. Then we signed Sancho and Ronaldo.
I mean it is entirely on Lingard. Why should we let him go on loan without a good fee to keep Newcastle up?
The club need to think about themselves not Jesse. He is going to go on a free, he isn't thinking oh I want the club to get a fee for me, so why should the club care ?
