Useful player for ETH because....he runs around a lot! It's high time we become way more ruthless as a club, especially if we want to get back to competing for the biggest prizes. We've indulged players like Lingard, Jones etc. for way too long with very little contribution (and this is without the toxicity some bring), and yet there are still fans who think we should extend because he can be "useful". I know we can't do a mass rebuild in one summer but it's high time these guys who've had their chances - leave.

I can picture the scene now.

Players going into the toilets at Carrington and Lingard has employed a looky looky man to sell his shit cologne, hoodies, accessories etc to his unsuspecting teammates

Imagine being at Manchester United all your playing life, a full international, nearly Thirty years of age, and allowing yourself - nay, needing, - to be placed under Mark Noble’s wing. Good fecking grief.
Very clear indicator of how his mental age is genuinely about 10 years younger than his actual.

No self-respecting 29 year old international footballer goes from Manchester United to West Ham and ends up "taken under someone's wing". Christ the thought alone should be mortifying.

It'd be like Darren Fletcher going on loan to Blackpool and being taken under Charlie Adam's wing.

Very surprised this guy got 51 pages on this thread. For perspective, Ronaldo has scored more goals than him this season than he has scored in his entire Utd career. Another twat i can't wait to see got rid of.

Surprisingly, Juventus are in for him.
Not really, Juve are always in for any free transfer

End up paying huge wages and signing on fee and not doing much.

They've had loads over the last few years.

Not even like it was his first time playing for another team as he had been on loan before

While showing none of the professionalism and dedication that has characterised Noble’s career.

Completely agree, should have taken WestHams offer last summer he did well there and they are much more suited to his level

One of our stupider decisions not selling last summer when his stock was as high as it could be.

We've made so.many.of.those.mistakes.

What was the point of keeping Pogba after he publicly expressed desire to leave in 2019? Why didn't we get a few millions for Romero instead of letting him scratch his balls in Argentina for a whole year and leave on a free? Why did we extend Jones' and Bailly's contracts? Why are we in a situation, where our no. 2 GK is earning around a £100k a week?

Bye bye Blingard... thanks for the memories (I think there were two!). Seriously, I thought he might have a long career at United and I think he might find reasonable success elsewhere if he makes a good choice (West ham would be the obvious one). Many players who leave OT fade into obscurity (Keith Gillespie); I think Jesse won't

Enough to make you weep some of this stuff.
Even extending Bruno looks a bit unnecessary.

He’s blagged a wage long enough and probably had bad influence on certain players!
You think an attacking player who once spent a year without making goal or assist and still being treated like a superstar by the club and media will not bring bad influence on certain players, especially the young ones?? wink wink.

Because they looked nice on balance sheet. the club was run by woodward and his banker friends, all they cared about was to keep the value of this club as high as ever (monetary-wise).

So a international and superstar player who played for Utd for 22 years was taken under the wing of a player who is five years his senior and who has had a remarkable career at a jojo West ham team. Jesse hope he never changes.

Woodward and his croonies should be imprisoned for such criminal incompetence and negligence.

Baffling. Lingard is clearly a problem in the dressing room and has a poor attitude, not to mention him posting pics of him in a West ham kit, and his brother ranting about the state of our club. Yet you'd beg him to stay simply because he's better than Donny van Beek. Thank god football fans have no control of the club is all I can say
We don't know if he is better than DVB. Lingard has been around for ages while DVB had just one season under a manager who never played him.
ETH may know how to get the best out DVB.

Deserves a whole thread this, arguably the biggest problem in our club this past ten years.

Ole wasn't good enough in the end, but he was also saddled with unshiftable dog shit on obscene contracts which turned the dressing room sour.

The nutters online all put the contracts for Jones, etc. down to Ole but it was a club policy put in place by Woodward/Matt Judge (as revealed in a recent Athletic article)

It would seem that young Jesse has a very inflated opinion of how good he is & what he should be earning. It will be very interesting to see which club decides to roll the dice on him. He is the type of player Everton would normally splash the cash on but that ship may have sailed.
