We have Buendia, Traore, Coutinho on loan, Carney, Ashley Young, (& I'll throw out Ghazi & Trez because they did play for us this season) who have all played in the position where Lingard plays. Especially with the wages he wants & when we have been public about wanting to recruit Coutinho on a permanent transfer. Where would Lingard fit in? Especially if we play with 2 up top 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think he has ever looked great when I saw him 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 It looks like a player, who was often a thorn in our side when we played against him during our time in the Championship, will be on the move this summer following another good season with Millwall. He's 28 now, becomes a free agent next month and we were linked with him in the past, but would anyone look at Jed Wallace now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laughable Chimp Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 I'd take Lingard of a free tbh. I know he's a popular to hate player, but he was very good when he was at West Ham. He should be good enough for a mid-table side like us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deeps Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 Wijnaldum is a massive upgrade no matter how you look at it. He’s not the first and won’t be the last player to fail at the oil machine across the pond. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodders0223 Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 (edited) Lingard would be a good pick up on a free if he wasn't an absolute bellend. I think he can play in a variety of positions. High energy unlike...others we have. But again. Absolute whopper. Edited May 8, 2022 by rodders0223 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klopp wanted him to stay and they offered him contracts. He wanted a new challenge. Like who do we think we are, our fans turning their noses up and elite players who have won the lot. Only Villa fans are this bad No mate. I've watched him a fair few times and especially in the Euros a year ago I thought his legs were going. He's ridiculously slow. Wijnaldum looks like an old 30 year old today It was highlighted at the time and no shock he's been an absolute bust at PSG. Sheva at Chelsea vibes where you could just see a player had lost all acceleration and spring and it was going to be a long season Heavy heavy legs Edited May 8, 2022 by rodders0223 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be an option if Coutinho decides not to join though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not saying he’s responsible for the apparent nightmare that is Man United’s dressing room but he’s been involved in enough leaks and manager feuds. A team shouldn’t have too many players with their own clothing lines or rapping careers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steero113 Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 DM is where we all know the money needs to be spent. We are utterly stocked with 8's and 10's. We've seen this season that once a decent performance is put in (early season Nakamba and latterly Tim/Chambers) at 6 then our midfielders are actually able to perform properly. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
