Jesse Lingard

[Craven Wine]

Arguably epitomizes the expectation level of the team for the season end, high hopes but not brilliant! Disappointing...

 

[Mellotron]

Very very talented. Complete lightweight.

 

[Rich Suvner]

Always moving into space, wanting the ball and makes good runs that we never pick out. Think he is a promising player. Not man Utd quality though.

 

[countryman]

I hope we sign him. I don't think he is going to be good enough for Man U but he is good enough for us and is only going to improve.

Always moving into space

Really? Whenever I've seen him he moves towards the player who has the ball.

I've a good view from WSU and think I've seen more in the way of movement and clever runs from him than most. Lots of energy not always matched by product.

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has likened Jesse Lingard to French legend Jean Tigana.

Fergie warns Lingard will be a late bloomer for the club.

He said: "Jesse Lingard is going to be some player, too. He is 19, came through our youth system and is built like Jean Tigana was for France.

"But he never got into the limelight there until he was about 24, and I think that will be the same with Lingard.

"He will become a player when he's 22 or so. As an attacking midfielder he has got a really good talent. I think he will be a player we have high hopes for, definitely.

 

[Questions]

I genuinely hope that we don't sign him.

Conversely Lingard could actually be far too good for us and will excel when he is playing with better players who will ping the ball around quickly in tight spaces. Maybe not though.

I like what Linguard brings to the team. Energy and carrying the ball forward. On many occasions this has been what's missing. What with Buckley injured and Lua stuck on the bench. Dare I say we play better when we have those positive players. Also can't wait for cms and ulloa to start together and have a more attacking team on the pitch. Linguard is all part of this. As for Andrews well he .... right off. Crofts was a big miss.

Huge amounts of potential, could be very good. We should try and sign him if possible. But at this stage of his career, not really cut out for games like these. It will take time, look at Will Hughes, been around for a while and was fantastic last night. Mentally you wonder what Lingard's got up there though, jumping on KLL's back after he scored the consolation was just bizarre, as if he thinks the only think that matters is the individual and not the team.
