Jesse Lingard

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?

Seconded.
That wasn't underrating him btw, I like Jesse, it's just that this reminded me on his last loan. It was awfull prediction, mind you.
It's more an example of how you have to be patient with youngsters if you think they have the technical attributes, but not the physical. I'd be surprised if many other Premiership clubs would have kept him on at 18.
He plays in a competitive position so it will be a struggle for him as we have Adnan and Kagawa who are similar players, and still have Young, Nani, Zaha, Valencia etc for the wings as well.
Surely highlights must have uploaded up by now?
I wasn't being mean, yours was the first post I saw when I clicked on the thread, already knowing he'd scored four today.That wasn't underrating him btw, I like Jesse, it's just that this reminded me on his last loan. It was awfull prediction, mind you.
Sounds like his pre-season form has followed him to Birmingham, eh? Talk about putting down a marker.
Possibly because there would have be a ready made foreign import.
I wish clubs especially the big ones would start to look at their youth in a more positive way
It's also 6 in a week if you take the 2 for the u21s

Can't say anything even if you are, I am laughing to myself too, I am just covering my ass now.
I am really delighted for Jesse.
Is the loan window still open in a month? Maybe prem teams could wake up and sign him up on loan
Kids not bad.
I would imagine that he'd be there until Jan, and then Utd may reassess.
I'd have said the same. I hate the idiots laughing at you.
Can't wait for the highlights. Must feel 10 feet tall right now.
Not for Prem teams, no. The loan window will reopen with the transfer window.
But its a 1 month loan, which means if the window is open and he gets a better offer from the premier league, he could take it
He's not bothered. He's taking it well and fair play to him.
without doubt it's not going to be easy for him but I really believe I him and think he will become a squad player. I wouldn't.mind the likes of young moving on at the end of the season to make space for him.
If he's settled there id keep him there. Better him to get regular football than go to a PL team midway through the season and not get the same chances.
Loan spells are so touch-and-go and risky. By producing this performance, Lingard has ensured that he'll get a decent chance to make a go of his Birmingham loan. You want to abandon that surety and take the even greater risk of hoping that a PL team will play him? Loans have much more to do with getting a player consistent game time in a senior team than the status of the team they're playing for.
Plus you hardly encourage teams to seriously consider taking United kids on loan if the second they have a good game you start to look for alternative suitors. Lee Clark has so far dealt with Jesse's loan spell exactly how we always hope managers will - and they so rarely do these days - and it would be pretty disrespectful to pull him after a month just because we reckon we might be able to sneak him into a slightly better club.
Nope, PL teams can't sign anyone on loan now. We can extend his loan till December end and then send him to loan in Jan to a PL club if they inquire during this period. but unless it is a team which will suit his game and will give him game time, it won't be bad for letting him continue where he is. No point sending him to fecking Sunderland just because it is PL team. If Southampton or even West Brom comes calling, and can promise him regular games, then Moyes might think.
well done lad!!
I must admit, I was a tad surprised that Moyes didn't give him a chance or two after pre-season. He was one of our best performing players on the tour.
Still, seems to have continued the good form.

Thanks, but tbf, looking it now, it's funny, no doubt about that, but that's what you get when making predictions, sometimes you fail, sometimes you guess right.
The loan window is football league only
I know he's not, and most of us realise how absurd this is. Replying him with one green smiley is just being a bad sport.
Game wasnt live on tv anywhere according to the reliable liveonsat.com.
.
does sky news show the championship goals after 6pm? I think they do.
and drop who?
Got bags of goals in him this lad hasn't he?
a season away on loan will do him good. He will be in the squad for sure next season...pushing Wellbeck.
Exactly. A loan spell was obviously the right choice, and credit to Moyes (and whoever else was involved) for seemingly choosing the right one. I have to say I found Clark's comments before the match really encouraging, he obviously genuinely rated the lad and trusted United's very high opinion of him.
Young
How would Zaha, Nani, Januzaj, Welbeck, Kagawa etc get any game time if Moyes was giving matches to Lingard as well?
Our squad is simply too big. The loan move is better for everyone concerned.
Damn, thats a shame.
my word, what a debut! 4 goals, and taken off on 70mins!
Great stuff!
Was taken of with a "tight-leg" apparently whatever that means
