Lingard and Keane extend their stay

[KFS]

#lcfc have today extended the loan spells of #mufc duo Jesse Lingard and Michael Keane. See the full story at http://www.lcfc.com.

Thoughts?

[dpjfox]

how long for?

[Fox92]

how long for?

The links broken on the OS for me? But the headline states a month.

[longy]

WHY!?

[Simo86]

Keane maybe, but I wouldn't have kept Lingard. Seems very lightweight.

[whitlock]

I reckon i have more to offer than Lingard and im fat.

[foxesfan1989]

Wow people have seen Lingard for around 60mins in total and already have him down as awful? Give the lad a chance, probably only got him as cover anyway so no need to panic. Keane is clearly a good player from what I have seen too, just needs to stay injury free 'til Jan and he will be a good squad member.

[Captain...]

Cover until Jan, we are probably not paying much for their wages otherwise I don't think either have warranted an extension in terms of what they've shown on the pitch.

Any news on Keane's injury?

[Unabomber]

Good, our squad is very small.

Are you actually surprised about this?

[indierich06]

WHY!?

Why not? Gives us some cover and extra bodies till January, it's not costing us anything except perhaps a bit of money in wages... What's the problem?

[dominicmsb]

Squad players who are not demanding to play for the first team are good in my eyes. Squad game football is.

[Corky]

Gives us extra options and the possibility of extending their stay further.

[Harry - LCFC]

I don't mind them being here but I don't want either of them to play unless we need it. Lindgard is without doubt a lesser player than Waghorn and Nugent and I'm sure most people would agree when I say that Vardy and Futacs are also more effective than him.

We've barely seen Keane but I'd still prefer Whitbread, SSL or Moore to play at CB.

[bmt]

Good move, cheap cover.

Urgh

[Ric Flair]

Makes sense. SSL is still not fit and if Knockaert get's punished for his arrest by Pearson than Lingard might get more playing time in the next few weeks anyway.

[ealingfox]

Why not?

How far off is SSL by the way?

[oadby_fox723]

How can we sign these players on loan, when the loan window has closed? Or is they key word "extend" seeing as they were already here before...?

[ealingfox]

Must admit I'd forgotten they (well Lingard seeing as Keane went back) were still here.

[kingfox]

Decent, need depth in the squad and more options so extending is understandable.

Knockaert is a big player for us, so hopefully he doesn't get dropped or pushed out the side altogether.

St Ledger might not be back by Christmas, so still a long way to go.

[Isopen]

Such is Lingard's impact that it took my 75 mins of the Derby game to work out who wasn't on the bench from the previous fixture given that Nugent was

[Dan]

I bet the same people complaining at the extension of Lingard are the same who moan about us having a small squad.

The demand for instant success is absolutely killing football in this country.

[cc_star]

Good news, both young lads, could be potential January signings and grow into the sort of quality that Drinkwater & the rest have become.

[Bettsj2]

This is a disgrace. Why not put our own youngsters on the bench? I am truly outraged and will not be going again until something is done.
