He's only an England international because the manager is an idiot.
Is Lingard as good as gone? | Contract extended by one year
- Thread starter Red00012
- Start date
I actually can't believe lingard is still around. Never ever rated him, I dont know what is his role. When Alex first started him, I thought he could be our new no. 7, sort of right midfield/winger. Had a great pre-season and got injure then didn't see him again for 1 whole season. How is he ever be in our XI?! Alex always has 1-2 such players in his squad. Fletcher is another. Just weird.
QFT
I see a move to a club like Brighton happening or someone like Fulham, I think Jese has a lot to offer a club, has some great ability but I think he needs a fresh start elsewhere.
I had forgotten all about Jesse
which is good
which is good
I don't know why he is still at the club
Fair play to Ole because he's making it abundantly clear to the Board that there is no point keeping players as 'assets' because he just won't play them.
The likes of Rojo, Jones and Lingard have been totally frozen out, so it's a clear message to the Board - accept an offer or pay them to do nothing

Even Ronaldo’s hand on head touch didn’t do the trick.
Harsh judgement. Someone like James or Williams probably aren’t PL standard, and they actually get a bit of game time for us, Lingard could easily be a starter for a midtable team & would be a star player for a side like Fulham, Burnley, Sheffield etc. He’s definitely PL standard, just nowhere near United standard.
He’s earned all of his England caps solely because he’s a United player though, that I agree on.
He's free to leave at the end of the season but may leave early if he wants to actually play, someone mentioned Brighton, that's a good call, I throw him at Inter Milan,
I bet conte is hyper salivating right now
No. He was genuinely good when he was getting England appearances and also when he got the new contract.
Rojo and Jones are the only questionable contract renewals recently.
This reminds me of that Kevin Durant movie where he touches a random fan and their abilities are swapped. Come to think of it that's what's happening in this pic too. Ronaldo became unstoppable after this while Jesse has been cursed ever since.Even Ronaldo’s hand on head touch didn’t do the trick.
If he wants the same wages then he's better off going to Turkey or China. No British club will play him anywhere near what he's currently on.
What the actual feck?
> Extend deal to get a transfer fee
> No one is willing to pay fee + match wages
> Player stays for the duration of the contract then leaves for free
Just let him go ffs

Not surprised the club want to trigger his optional year they do it with every player after all. The bean counters think it increases the value of a player and it does but only if the player is A, any good and B, another club actually want to buy them. And as we found out with Darmian that isn't always the case.
If that happens, then this club truly never learns.
Doesnt make any sense, therefore we will do it.Rotten if true.
Either someone on the inside is dipping or its a complex money-laundering scam
This. We never learn from our mistakes.
You say that but I'm sure the likes of Mark Noble are on about 60k so you'd be surprised what the mug punter teams in this league are capable of!
Maintain his value obviously
He looks like Troopz in this photo
If it's a single optional year then it's no real issue at all.
If it's a Jonesy style 4-5 year job then it is utterly ludicrous.
The paper they quoted said we're planning on triggering the year extension in his contract. Which is pointless anyway, the amount we'll lose on wages in that year will negate any value received in a fee.
It'll just be an extra year.
If it was for 4-5 i'd be very surprised given how Solskjaer's frozen him out and i'd also give up all hope.
Idiotic to take up the option. Just cut our losses and carry on, as a proper football club should in this situation.
Oh feck no. Jeez. We are pathetic
For fecks sake... When will we learn. There is NO preserving value in a player that has no value. You just end up spunking millions on their wages. Better off letting him go on a free. Nobody will pay much for him. Just sell to the first bidder.
That's another 4,8 mill in wages but if we can sell him for 5 then we got Lingard for another year incase we need him and we'll break even financially. So doesn't seem that crazy.
I could see why it's so hard to find a buyer for him. There are worse players in the league than Lingard and Jones but only a few of them are meme legends. In the case of Lingard if you are the buyer, how would you announce his transfer? bringing a meme legend (not in a Zlatan way but in a shit player's way) into your club.. maybe it's not worth it. Why not find foreign players that have the same ability as Lingard instead? less salary, less memes, more chance to resell the player should he fail. Memes could ruin your career and limit your options, it happened.

Why do this? I am absolutely certain that in the background they have been trying to offload him and there has just been no takers. Taking up wages and a squad position.
It's just proof of what people were saying all along, he's nowhere near good enough for any half decent team. He's probably deluded himself into thinking he belongs in a side with title aspirations in one of the major leagues, which is why he hired Raiola as his agent, but the reality is that even the relegation candidates dont want him because of his salary demands.
Yes
living up to our tag nowadays, a joke top clubNaah, won't happen. We're going to offer him a new deal before contract runs out.
PSG are ruthless enough to sack a successful manager while we offer a player a new contract who hasn’t kicked a ball this season.
Someone at the club needs fecking with a sharp stick for these decisions

Its hard to see how this is good business. Whats he got, 2 goals since his purple patch at the end of the 2018? 3 maybe? He then went on to do nothing of any worth in any other area of the pitch. So much so that Ole has given him a sniff of first team football all season. Why would you extend his contract even a week never mind a year? Maybe I could see it if there was demand for him, but there isnt. No one has ever come in for jlingz. And even if they did, no one is giving him 100k for what he brings to the table currently.
So much for being tough and getting rid of the deadwood.

The story did come from the Mail so I'd take it with a pinch of salt.
He really hasn't been a successful manager, that's why they're sacking him. He's done the bare minimum expected of a PSG manager.
