Hearing noises that he is coming in on a short term end of the season contract to cover for kudos, Bowen and Paquetá
Probably makes sense but will ruffle feathers.

I read only the other day that he had offered himself out to Barcelona?
It'll right up Moyes's street snivelling and grilling for this waste of space.

Yes in our hour of need cometh the saviour
Just like Justin Fashanu, Ted mcDougall, David Kelly, Derek Hales, John Radford and countless other deals.

Busted flush who, whilst on a high with us put his efforts, energy and focus into leveraging wages (With Manchester B and with Forest) not expanding on that purple patch of Football.
The results and impact on his football and personal life were very predictable.
A busted flush who would bring a complexity and toxicity to the dressing room we dont need.
Rather keep Ings

Axctually I think the one thing we could definitely rely on him for would be to be good in the dressing room.
To be honest I think they all get the cynical money-based moves - enough of them do it - they liked him before so I reckon they would again.

By paying out for him to have accomodation and travel whilst he trained with us we were running the rule over him (buying knowledge if you will)
Clearly the knowledge we gained showed that we should not invest any more time or effort into him.

As MPI said, I think I'd prefer Ings to stay instead.
And Ings is good for the dressing room, so Lingards apparent role is already taken.

Pros:
- Dressing room, apparently
- Moyes has shown he's able to get the best out of him
- If he can get some of his undoubted previous talent back, he can be a very potent player again
- He's eaten, or should have eaten, a fair amount of humble pie of late, which should do for any billy big bollocks inclination that may be lurking within
Cons:
- May be past it, particularly if he's not able to rediscover his best form
- Money-first attitude has not endeared him to fans
- Could be more expensive than he's worth

Pointless. Any players who come in will have to be match fit and ready to play straight away with the injuries we've got
Lingard will be a month at least off it

Fuck that.
But Jesus Christ could our injury crisis have come at more of a bad time and if you wanted to cherry pick the worst possible few players to lose?

His purple patch started and ended while he was with us. He’s now finished as a top-level footballer. It was brilliant at the time though. Some great football.

Lingard seemed too bond most with Rice who has long since departed so being changing room clown is not so much a necessity anymore now we dont need toys for boy wonder to play with.
Moyes had more than enough time to assess him in the summer and said 'no thanks'. In no way should we row back on that decision.

I'd say this was the best time it could happen, seeing as the window is open and we can buy players.

Considering no-one has paid him any interest and he couldn't even find a club in Saudi Arabia, he should bite our hand off for even a fraction of what he's been asking for.
We'll see if he actually has any intention of being a professional footballer or is happy farting around on instagram.

Scott_d at this point I'd want him to pay us just to put him in the shop window plus he'd be using our facilities a bit like paying a gym membership!!!
