Chellaston Ram Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 Apparently Lingaard is going to be on 200k per week, that’s more than our entire wage bill each week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambitious Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 Fair play for sticking their neck on the line and going for it. I genuinely mean that as more promoted teams should go for it. Lingard deserves a lot of credit too, because he’s managed to turn one good season into one of, if not THE, largest contract outside the top 6 in Premier League history. bimmerman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bris Vegas Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 I think Jesse Lingard is actually an inspiration. I mean, he is a seriously average footballer. If he came through Bournemouth’s academy he would have probably warranted a £20m move at Aston Villa at some point and then just settled there. Like Tyrone Mings. But instead, he came through Man Utd’s academy and thus that was enough to earn him some 30 England caps. Moreover, he managed to score the winner in an FA Cup final. And off the back of a decent half season spell at West Ham, he is arguably going to become the highest paid player ever outside a top six club. He has done amazing for himself given his relatively mediocre ability. TigerTedd and cstand 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’re going to be loaded with a 30-year-old mediocre player on over £120,000 a week next season in the Championship (assuming they put in a relegation clause). An unsellable asset on inflated wages. This sort of deal is up there with the Ikechi Anya deal. Edited July 21, 2022 by Bris Vegas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPRamFan Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 They're taking a chance on his half a season form for West Ham when he was class. Hopefully they get the lazy TikTok inspired Lingard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smart move from Forest though, won’t be stuck with him on relegation. Let’s hope he keeps fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JfR Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 This Lingard deal reminds me a lot of the Blackman deal we had, only at least Blackman's good run of form was in the season we signed him. RadioactiveWaste 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gee SCREAMER !! Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 That's 10.5 million in wages for a year. Is some of that dependent on them staying up, if not, that is is not just pure insanity on there part but makes me feel rather ill. About 9 years salary for the average office worker in a week . I honestly used to get distressed at the 15 k a week wages in the championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alram Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 the times say hes on 80 rising to 121 i am more disapointed its a 1 year deal so they wouldnt be lumbered with him for years if he flopped Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unsurprisingly, I imagine this deal has been structured to temper expectations, but a one year deal with an outlay of potentially £10m is commercially retarded. It protects them if they go down, sure, but you use a huge portion of your capital on essentially a player with no resale value. Lingard probably should’ve held out for a long term deal too, because unless he lights it up he will be past 30 and nowhere close to earning what he could’ve got from West Ham long term. Daft, short-term mentality - but maybe he projects himself to do well and earn more at a bigger club next time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bimmerman Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 You know what...like the fact they're going for it and giving it a go. Fair play to them. Still a horrible bunch of Gibson Morris Bamfords but credit where credits due Red_Dawn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

De22Ram Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 So if all in its cost them 10mill roughly, depends on how the season goes and there budget! If he stays injury free, hits form, keeps them up, sells a shed loads of shirts, increases ticket sales, attracts other decent players then its not a bad bit of business for 10mill free transfer all in! However if theyve blown there budget on him n he unsettles the team who are on less wages, gets injured or doesnt perform its a massive looooooooooool! Its a gamble thats for sure lol!
