I dont get it. I saw a video by Tifo football that talked about it and they made the argument that he has enough money that he doesn't have to play for a club he doesn't want to. The problem is that if you're not wanted by the clubs you want to play for, the only way to change that is by playing well at other clubs.
"For what is a man, what has he got
Yeah he's tailor made for the MLS. Surprised he hasn't signed there personally.
Could be something to do with not getting an actual offer I presume .
Not really. He’s waited to see if he was going to get a larger contract. He trained at West Ham and in Saudi. He obviously hasn’t then got one. He’s now sacked his agent and will now likely lower his demands and actually find a club. We’re not talking several years of unemployment, he only left forest in the summer. I mean players and managers are known to not just accept anything just to be attached to a club. This isn’t anything groundbreaking. I mean do you think Lingard wasn’t getting offers in the summer or something?
Dude, let it go man.
I actaully went and had a look. Didn;t he used to have his own clothing line?jlingz.com is selling chicken now
I dropped by Flannels and all they had was Stone Island, Hugo Boss all that shit. Can't get Jesse's designs anywhere.
Pretty sure the brand failed. Before it closed they had huge sales on everything. The current site is probably not his, someone probably bought the domain and is using it to promote their actual website.
'Jesse' used to be homophobic shorthand for feminine man and it's still hard for 70somethings to get past that, and that was the demographic he was aiming for.
Aye, I managed to pick up two j-Lingz t shirts for £3 each. Decent quality and good fit.

I live in America and catch a few MLS games here and there, the quality is not good compared to the top European leagues. It's hard for me to believe that a guy like Lingard who is not that old, is somewhat of a recognizable name thanks to his United ties and is about the level required for that league wouldn't get an offer, probably has more to do with his wage demands.
I'm not twisted or irrational that Herrera (a good but not great player) left. I just think he's full of shit.
According to him he wanted to stay, and your assumption that he is full of shit is just that, an assumption based on 0 evidence one way or the other. Well apart from the evidence of Herrera himself directly contradicting it, the club running multiple other players contracts down at the same time, etc.
I don’t think Pogba should be put in the same category as Sancho, Lingard or Martial. He actually won a few league titles, won a World Cup, played in UCL final and Euros final. He had made it at the very top level, just that didn’t maintain his level.
And now you're a RedCafe poster, proof that you can be anything if you work hard enough
Well, you know the old saying.He's not dispelling the myth that we're rags
You're right, he won a world cup and scored in the final, but I think you could have put an average player in that juve side and they'd have still won the leagues. In terms of ability, which pogba had much more of, the level of squandering is similar. Mostly though, attitude and character wise, I think these players typify the failings after ferguson. That lingard video from the bus v west ham away still bothers me, as do all the stupid training ground videos that people sometimes think dont matter- but they do. These guys were a huge part in the falling standards at united and if pogba had a real pair of balls he'd have used his talent and personality to lead a team, not prance about like an idiot for most of his time here
On the bus against West ham, he just recorded a video where he stuck his tongue out as far as I know. That's about it. I don't think that's how his career declined. I think he underperformed and miserable middle-aged guys are blaming his social media because its something they dislike anyway.
Bargain innit. And when you're bored of them you can donate it to a charity or summat, I'm sure kids will appreciate it they love JLingz.
De Gea made over 100 million on his salary only. He also made money from ads, endorsements, etc. He probably has considerably more than 10 million.
Possibly, I was verging on the lower end. But, take out tax, take out living expenses, his home, cars, money to friends, family and charity, its possible. Some players earn shit loads and go completely broke. If he has less than £10m left I'd think he's been reckless. If he's been sensible could well be much higher.
Well yeah....
Sorry but he was literally screaming then lying in the aisle saying mummy over and over. Joking or not it was embarrassing behavior and that he thought it suitable to share tells you where his head is at. Its not just middle age guys either, most guys I know detested the way he presented himself on social media. It wasn't even that he used social media its how he acted on it. Of course we got absolutely bullied at that west ham game. I remember Carrick sitting calmly on the bus probably thinking what the feck happened to the 2008 squad
Well it's based on the evidence that he turned down a contract offer and left, he could have stayed if he wanted to. So there's that I suppose.
Which is ironic as you've literally just made up a little narrative that I hate Herrera.
You’re in for a shock! There’s a few on here who seemingly have an intense dislike for Herrera - to my surprise as well. Seemed a good professional, always spoke well - wanted to stay but the contract offer was late and PSG offered more money which we rightfully didn’t match.
So there's a connection between Lingards behaviour on Instagram and us losing to West Ham? I could believe that if only our players acted daft on social media.
Yes, there is. You're setting up a false equivalence here I think. Im talking about a descent into a dressing room that lacked any leadership, to the point that Lingard, Pogba and a couple of other morons were ascendant, and the stuff we saw at West Ham (youve weirdly ignored that your original claim about what happened was understating it hugely. This just feels like moving goalposts, or contrarianism for the sake of it) was so unchecked that it existed with Lingard also a) tweeting during a munich anniversary, b) tweeting his logo with a message about the manchester bombing, and c) releasing a holiday video so crass that it earned a reprimand from solskjaer. This is before we even venture near the typical PL footballer nonsense of dressing room dancing, haircuts, or the beans videos. If you think that exists to that extent in other PL dressing rooms, I'd like to know where- again Im talking about the extent, not isolated examples - because I believe in any half decent dressing room, even our current one, Lingard would have been kept in line way way more.
