According to someone on the Swansea forum he'll be loaned back to them next season.
We have Rashford, Martial and Sanchez all on the left?! He's not a right winger, unlike some thought early on.The biggest risk with this is that once again we're left without an established player in a position. Hopefully he's not this years Dalot and in 6months time people aren't telling me "What can Ole do his only options are Mata and James and he's not ready"
He's Welsh...I have doubt on this kinds of signing. Would be a non story if he's not English
He's better than Chong by some distance.How about we don’t spend it.
Offers what? Speed? If that’s the case just play Chong. Just reminds me of all the crap Fergie was buying at then of his reign like Nick Powell.
Yeah exactly. We should only sign high profile expensive players with minimum 50 international caps.How about we don’t spend it.

Which player can guarantee immediate impact? Falcao? Sanchez? You will never know wether a player will make immediate impact or not. Not even messi.
You can't say this with any certainty.
So my concern is that we'll be spending 15m on a winger that hasn't really lit up the Championship. He relies heavily on pace by the knocking the ball forward and trying to beat his man which is very reminiscent of Valencia. However, this guy can use both feet. He looks more than a Full back than a winger to me. I think when he comes against the likes of Van Dijk and other top CBs, he'll be nullified pretty easily. Also in games where teams sit back and we need to break them down, I don't see him being effective either.We signed enough players hoping for immediate impact, and have failed every time miserably. You need to have a solid foundation for players to come and make an immediate impact and if you haven't noticed, our foundations have crumbled in the last 7 years
P.S. Not relevant to this specific signing, but I prefer we much rather build for long term
Except Mata is unlikely to be an option next season. His options will probably be Lingard/James/Chong/Greenwood. Maybe Dybala too if you can call him a winger.The biggest risk with this is that once again we're left without an established player in a position. Hopefully he's not this years Dalot and in 6months time people aren't telling me "What can Ole do his only options are Mata and James and he's not ready"
Different role surely. Zaha would want to be playing each weekJames? So why not Zaha ?
Maybe we should sign players that can go in our first team too. Maybe we will after tying up this one. Maybe we won't.They signed those two to go direct into the first team.
We set the bar very very low if we look to sign players better than Jesse There are about 100 better players in Championship alone.For all the idiots who keep questioning his goal scoring record please remember that we have Jesse lingard whose goals scoring is the same . And people believe his movement is the second coming of Jesus
But crapper than Mane and Salah by an even greater distance. Go figure.He's better than Chong by some distance.
He was a player i wanted at United so I cant laugh about him - but I never expected him to be as good as he turned outWhat about Mane?
And there is no one at OT capable of denying him thatDifferent role surely. Zaha would want to be playing each week
He at least has pace. Jesse lingard has beard which resembles my pubesI heard about him just couple of days ago but I know that if we end up buying him for 15M, he is an overrated pace merchant and we will be overpaying. If anyone else buys, then he is next big thing and it will be deal of century for that club.
Why don't we wait and see what happens first?So it begins . Improve the first team we say. First signing. More squad players.
And younger.But crapper than Mane and Salah by an even greater distance. Go figure.
Mo Salah at 21 was a flop at ChelseaBut crapper than Mane and Salah by an even greater distance. Go figure.
So it's a nonstory then.I have doubt on this kinds of signing. Would be a non story if he's not English
No one actually thinks highly of Lingard except for Sports Channel Pundits. And I don't think we should be getting a player just because Lingard has set the bar really low. For the RW, we should be going all out for Pepe. This is such a no brainer. If the Right footed winger is not someone who hugs the touchline, we should go with an inverted winger and depend on our new RB to provide the width.For all the idiots who keep questioning his goal scoring record please remember that we have Jesse lingard whose goals scoring is the same . And people believe his movement is the second coming of Jesus
Yeah because both of them will be in similar price range. These type of posts are fairly useless.I'd rather have Brooks.
I was annoyed at Bale - I was destroyed with Ramsey. I had just seen Ramsey in a Wales U18 game a few weeks before, and I have hardly seen any player dominate a game as much as he did. When i saw him in that game, I expected him to be a lot better than he turned out.Exactly, I remember how pissed off fans were that we missed out on Bale and Ramsey too.
I recall opposite. Mane was massively sought after and sections of the caf were still worried about us going for Mkhitaryan instead (it wasn't about Martial. Mane was a RW prospect from Southampton).And younger.
I recall when Liverpool spent £36m on Mane that a large portion of this forum couldn't get over it and didn't think he was good enough, and were happier that we got Martial.
It's almost as if you can't tell at the age of 21 what a player's ceiling is, or something.
And a lot younger and not coming here to be either of those. How old were those 2 when they became how good they are? 25? 26?But crapper than Mane and Salah by an even greater distance. Go figure.
I'm happy with this potential signing, however just because we have Lingard in our team it doesn't mean that we should all be happy with anyone that has a better scoring record than Lingard, moreover it's not exactly difficult to find such playerFor all the idiots who keep questioning his goal scoring record please remember that we have Jesse lingard whose goals scoring is the same . And people believe his movement is the second coming of Jesus
He's being signed as a prospect you lunatic.But crapper than Mane and Salah by an even greater distance. Go figure.
The post "I'd rather have Brooks" sums it up nicely here.I bet the people in here moaning about us signing that guy are the same ones who fume over us not getting players like Robertson and Alli.
