Lingaard is probably delusional enough to think he would get first team football at an elite european club. Its not his level. Agree with other posters should have asked sensible money for him aka £15mil and got a few clubs on the hook. Give him some options and maybe get a bidding war going.

Ole is to blame as well, for some reason he wants a bloated squad, which reduces the finances to bring in the quality midfielder we all know we need. Lingaard isn't going to be a first team regular at utd. He must know that himself. Do a Phil Neville and move on to a club where you will pretty much play all of the time.
I don't think he wants a bloated squad, and it's always possible that positive statements about a player is because he knows he'll have to work with the player. With James out, he does not in my view have an excessive number of players in the attacking positions - certainly not if you assume that Mata won't see much game time. But he did come out clearer than that on wanting to keep Lingard, or at least that was how it was reported. It's just hard to see that this will work out well in the longer term compared to selling him now for less than 30 million, even if he does re-sign. But maybe he'll prove me wrong, I hope so.

So Lingard goes to West Ham for free and we pay £70m+ for Rice....
Lingard won't go to West Ham if he's leaving on a free I don't think..

I think some top clubs will take a chance on him, hoping he can show his WH form last season

He should join Arsenal on a free and fancy his chances of starting ahead of that lot.

The board doesn't realize that they give West ham more and more "Weapons" to extort us and "squeeze that orange" until the last drop

Rice isn't flashy or some amazing player, but he'll give us an actual platform to control the game off of. I can't think of a better option, despite everyone claiming they don't want him.

Nampalys Mendy's agent Yacin Ayad on the potential transfer:
The two clubs are OK and Nampalys also for a loan. But the player must arrive in Dakar in the next few hours. It is therefore a race against time which promises to make him arrive in Istanbul before 23:59 tomorrow evening and the end of the Turkish transfer window.

Why didn't you move on then in the summer? This makes no sense.
He wanted to be on a free to maximize his return. Very unfair on the club but it is what it is.
The problem is with Southgate who keeps calling him up for internationals.

There were plenty of reports that we wanted 30m, lowered it to 25m towards the end. West Ham wanted to pay 18m.

And even if he didnt want to go to West Ham, its his choice..

He has done nothing wrong. I have no idea how he's getting the blame here..
I like him but I dont see how he is getting regular minutes here.. If he stays on as a squad player.. I'm fine with that.. if he leaves, hope he gets a good club..
Good post. I shouldn’t even have to point that out

Ole seems pretty good at convincing fringe players they will play. Both Jesse and Donny are going to have an unfortunate reality this season I think. I'd like to see Donny especially given a chance as a 6 this season; a run of games I mean rather than 1 game starting then 8 on the bench.
I’d like to see that too, I think he’s got the skill set

If you can call Andorra an international. With Sancho, Greenwood, Foden, Bellingham all maturing, there’s no chance he gets in the WC squad

Wait… what? Why would Chelsea do that? No wonder Rüdiger feels underpaid
From what I remember, Liverpool were interested.. and had a release clause.. Chelsea probably had to pay him more to get him when it looked for a long time that he was Liverpool bound.

That is true, the fee for Leipzig was set. But still! He earns on Lewandowski‚s level and is at best half the player.

There's almost zero chance of that happening. Haaland is all but certain to leave next summer, Witsel's contract ends as well and since their contracts would expire the following summer Akanji and Guerreiro might have to be sold, too, if they don't want to extend. With so many starters (potentially) leaving on other positions I doubt Dortmund would be much inclined to let go of the ones they don't need to sell.

Agreed, I think Bellingham will sign a new deal this year on better terms and won‘t want to move himself for at least the next couple of seasons.
