[Offers] Jessie Lingard

[Cowfold Seagull]

In what universe does "not good enough for Forest" equal "good enough for the Albion"?

I guess it must make perfect sense in La La Land, on the planet Zog.

 

[crodonilson]

Can't see him getting a PL deal, think he will be off abroad somewhere.

Love JLingz, an absolute class act who has bought joy to all football fans, think you're right his appetite for the game seems a bit lost and he needs a new challenge. Think he will go to Turkey personally.

See ‘Danny Welbeck’.

 

[Icy Gull]

See ‘Danny Welbeck’.

Who ever suggested he wasn't good enough, he was a serial sicknote until we rebuilt him but he was always quality when fit on what I saw of him. Lingard looked f***ing useless in the bits I saw of him last season, if RDZ wants him then fair enough....

They may have the only clubs who can afford his wages, there or the MLS, even Saudi or China maybe if it's one last really lucartive contract he is looking for.

See post #425.

He is an excellent footballer but his mental health may mean that his career can't be resurrected.

Not a lot of people (including yourself) appear to know that

Don't worry, he won't.

Well yes, you asked ‘what universe’ - the universe where RDZ believes he can unlock former potential. He may not of course, but it’s not out of the realms of possibility. Welbeck is a great come good story for us.

 

[ConfusedGloryHunter]

Don't worry, he won't.

Maybe coming here as a squad player competing for a place whilst RDZ SollyMarchifies him back to top form is just the tonic for him.

I don't think China does those lucrative contracts anymore. The era of silly spending in the Chinese Super League has pretty much ended.

I wouldn't bet against him going to the MLS, either LA or Miami more for the sun and stars than for anything football related.

Chinese Super League losing its lustre ahead of new campaign

Against a backdrop of club closures and continuing COVID-19 restrictions, the Chinese Super League returns on Friday with the competition struggling for relevance after losing the star power that once had it threaten to disrupt the global game.

On what evidence?

I think there is a talent in there and our set up would hopefully unlock it

 

[dejavuatbtn]

I don’t think he would pass the no dickheads test.

Not true at all. Watford fans thought he was hopeless his last season with them.

What’s he done to make you say that?

 

[Icy Gull]

Not true at all. Watford fans thought he was hopeless his last season with them.

Everything about that club was, when Welbeck was there, and is pretty hopeless in fairness and I doubt they had good things to say about many in that relegation season.

Obviously some on here really rate Lingard, I don't and don't expect us to show any interest in him at all. Happy to be wrong (actually I won't be happy I'll just accept that the club know much better than me )

He struck me as a dickhead when he was here on loan, and still does

 

[Doc Lynam]

J Dog such a wasted talent.

When he finds himself in a happy environment, like at West Ham when he shot them to their highest ever finish with 9 goals in 16 games he can be unplayable. The difficulty is clearly that the circumstances for that happy environment are quite specific. He has also shone on and off for MU and England.

I don’t think we’ll go in for him, but if there was an environment in the PL that could nurture and provide that happy place for him, it is probably us.

 

[Pavilionaire]

Has been released by Forest

Next season I wouldn't be surprised to see him and Dele Alli terrorising the nightclubs of Leeds Utd.

 

[Worried Man Blues]

Turkey I reckon.

A bit unfair
