It is not a surprise they've ditched him, what a waste of time. To be fair to him, they signed him and then a couple of dozen of other players. Their recruitment was an absolute mess last season and they're fortunate that their lavish spending wasn't punished with relegation.

No, we were well clear of the relegation places.

I hope that's the case and hopefully he can maintain the form he showed from January onwards. He was fantastic for West Ham, far better than I'd have expected from him based on the previous 5 years of form. I've nothing against the guy at all and I was more than happy to be put in my place. A...

I have absolutely no problem at all saying congratulations to him. He's been extremely impressive at West Ham, scoring goals and creating them as well. I think Sky said that since his debut, nobody has scored more in the Premier League than he has which is a remarkable stat. He's in the form of...

I would say West Ham are a more functional team than us. I honestly don't see much difference in quality between the teams but there is a huge difference in the ability to generate positive results. We might look nice and be statistically wonderful but they're actually functional in terms of...

I'm sure you wouldn't have posted had the penalty been pushed to safety rather than straight back to him for a tap in. He's certainly a lucky player, not something we have at the moment.

Correct. Because who would he replace? Would you prefer him to Trossard or Mac Allister? Never for me. No matter how many times he plays against a goalkeeper determined to make Maty Ryan look imposing, you won't find me believing he's worth getting near our team. I will say he's playing a lot...

Delighted he's gone to someone other than us, but disappointed he didn't end up at West Brom. That would have guaranteed their relegation. All the best to West Ham for the rest of the season!

Scouting is one thing. How do we think the scouts who suggested we sign our flops feel? That they were wrong? That the manager didn't effectively use the player? I would argue Leicester were disappointed by him, Derby were disappointed by him, Birmingham were disappointed by him and here he was...

Not at all, I have no opinion on the man personally. I'm talking as someone who has taken the time to watch him play and consider whether he's a good player or not. He isn't. He's lucky to have been born in Manchester and picked up by Manchester United, otherwise he wouldn't have had a career...

At what point will you accept he's every bit as bad as a lot of us think he is? When he has failed to nail down a place in Nice's team? When he hasn't scored or assisted by the end of the season? When?

I hope he makes a permanent move to France so we never have to hear about him again. Rubbish footballer who has dined out on an FA Cup final screamer against Palace and dancing Alan. That's it. He's been overrated all his career.

Have you watched him play recently? He's totally lost any idea of what his game is. He reminds me a lot of David Bentley. He had an idea what it was he did, but once it's gone it's very hard to get back. Lingard didn't even give a hint of being a footballer last season and hasn't for a couple of...
