It seems more and more likely that this is going to happen. Jesse's keen to come and the clubs are haggling over the loan fee, reportedly. There's also a claim that if we get him we'll no longer pursue a new striker.
This baffles me. Who does he replace in our 1st XI? And more importantly, who plays up front if Antonio twangs his hamstring again?
Is Mipo some kind of wunderkind that we'll unleash if he does?
I'm not getting the logic to this one.

I reckon he will use Yarmolenko as the back up striker instead of using him as a winger.
Lingard can play in a number of positions, 6 month loan with a point to prove and an eye on an England place at the euros could be a masterstroke.

I reckon Lingard would be a good signing but we should also try for the Dog Eater as backup striker. That would be good enough for me in a January Window

I must admit to being against this but I now trust Moyes to get the best out him. I was also against Dawson but what a success that is turning out to be.

Done deal. Expect an announcement soon. The normal loan with an option bollocks. Ironically, he won't be able to play in the FA cup tie, but maybe he's cup-tied?
Benny's loan option has been exercised so love him or hate him he's now ours. I love him, personally.
A new striker is possible but no longer a priority.
I'm not ITK but the above comes from a very good source.

Exactamundo with 4Nails, Bowen and/or Lingard, and Lanzini playing off of him. Soucek is our goal machine

Moyes has turned Arnautovic and Antonio into decent strikers
Coukd he be thinking he could do the same with Lingard?

He tends to go for a unit up front, Arnautovic, Antonio, Lukaku, Yakubu ... all big strong lumps
Lingard doesn’t fit that mould
It’s an interesting one for sure but you have to trust the Moyesiah on what he’s done so far

There will be an agreement that he won’t be able to play against Man U.

You can’t play against your team as a loan anyway..
It doesn’t matter, atleast it means some players can rest/rotate around the cup game

Get Lingard and Chan in, along with making Benni permanent, its a good January window for me.

I like forward to being proven wrong, as in the 15 odd games I've ever seen him play on TV, I've been amazed that he plays for a premiership team.

He can offer decent cover for Bowen, Fornals, Benrahma and maybe even Antonio. He has scored in his last three cup finals, so has d s one degree of composure in front of goal in big matches.
I imagine his prime job will be filling in for Bowen instead of Yarmolenko doing so, as he would work harder tracking back; Yarmolenko more likely to cover centre forward.
At worst, he’s a good utility player. Snodgrass’s replacement.

Makes me laugh when people say he can offer cover, of course he can offer cover, the question is is he any good or not. If not I'll get me boots out and 'offer cover''
