Wow. I bet he and the hired help he can afford must be at breaking point having to attend a parent’s evening twice a year whilst holding down a job that demands three hours a day of his time. Yes, obviously he doesn’t have the same financial pressures but the very fact that he has taken the kids in shows that he takes his family responsibilities seriously. You only have to see how he was with his mum during the World Cup to recognise this. He has had a really bad year on the pitch performing nowhere near the level expected of him but at least he has come out openly and said that. Contrast this with the like of Pogba who is happy to take his pay cheque, get pissed up at his brother’s wedding then sign off sick for another month. Having said that I don’t believe in a million years that the Mirror’s source is inside the club. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His mother has an illness which means that he's had to take in and care for his 14 and 11 yr old younger siblings (he has to go to parent evenings, etc). His grandfather's been diagnosed with prostate cancer. And he's the father of a 1 year old. He's said the worrying has effected his mental health. I think if we had a player in his prediciment and rival fans were mocking him on their forum we might be quite annoyed. But by all means mock the journalist who came up with this story. All the more reason to avoid him like the plague. He’s too busy with his family and his Jlingz brand to concentrate on football. That said, we are victims of lazy journalism and our success. I can’t see anyone crucial leaving this window so I’m not buying that bullshit story. Edited 5 January 2020 by Mickey O'Neil 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Md9 Posted 5 January 2020 Share Posted 5 January 2020 The fact that Utd apparently value lingard at £40 mil is funny. Attacking player with 0 goals and assists and doesn’t even get in the first team all the time now. Obviously has personal problems which can’t be helped so his mind wouldn’t 100% on being here. Even with him being valued at 40 mil that’s a total of 85 mil for someone we would want a min of 100 mill for 😂😂 They would be better offering villa that for greilish 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kyleolly Posted 5 January 2020 Share Posted 5 January 2020 I think Brendan would make Lingard feel wanted and coach a decent winger out of him but I wouldn’t be prepared to lose maddison to see if this was the case 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His Grandad who's the biggest influence on his career has cancer and could be dying for all we know.

But that wasn’t really my point. I suspect many people reading this have done something similar and are still expected to maintain their performance levels at work regardless of circumstances. 🤷♂️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corky Posted 5 January 2020 Share Posted 5 January 2020 There is just nothing appealing about that. We lose a player for at least £20 million than we could get in a bidding game, we gain a player who is no better than him and probably wouldn't want to join and it disrupts the squad at this stage of the season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't particularly like the bloke or rate him and wouldn't want him as a player here but, for me, that's where it stops. Against such terrible life problems, football is piss all as are any macho and any financially jealous musings. I genuinely hope things go a little better for the lad and his family this coming year. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hackneyfox Posted 5 January 2020 Share Posted 5 January 2020 4 hours ago, Fox92 said: We sold them a defender, and not even a World Class defender, for £80m. Maddison is a creative midfielder, and probably England's best creative player now, so we shouldn't accept anything less than £80m. Well I agree with all that apart from the last bit. If we’ve sold them Maguire for £80m then by what logic would we only want £80m for a better player who is more important to the way we play than Maguire was. Glad you’re not doing Rudkins job.

Edingleyfox Posted 5 January 2020 Share Posted 5 January 2020 Lingard looked a decent player in that Charity Shield match against us in 2016 but for some reason has not progressed as might have been expected. A valuation of £40 million now is way too high for a player who is not a regular first team player and has not scored this season. I am not sure he would be a regular for us and we would lose our main playmaker so it would be madness In any event I'm sure Maddison is happy here and if we get a Champions League spot I think he will stay for at least another season Unless there is something more believable agree close thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

st albans fox Posted 5 January 2020 Share Posted 5 January 2020 It’s a bit of a poor show from yanited to leak this to a journo on whatever level it’s intended. Their player is having a tough time from all perspectives and considering yesterday’s mental health messages from the game, it stacks up v poorly for me.

st albans fox Posted 5 January 2020 Share Posted 5 January 2020 Also, we have two games per week through jan (apart from between soton and Burnley) so Brendan has plenty of pressers to keep banging home the message ......not that the click bait press want to listen ....
