Was listening to the latest episode of The Totally Football Show, it was suggested that we're looking into the possibility of taking Jesse Lingard on loan for the whole of next season.

Can't find anything concrete about it online, but it was brought up by Daniel Storey, who as far as I know isn't a particularly gossipy journalist, so it could have legs.

If Potter could get him back to the level he was playing at before/during the 2018 World Cup it'd be a great signing, that's a big IF though...

There's a lot of repeats on TV & Radio at the moment. Are you sure this is not a repeat from a few years ago?

He certainly needs to re-locate his mojo!

1. Wages.
2. Where does he fit?
3. Seems a decent lad but massively overrated.

I'm out.

No it's definitely current, it was brought up while they were discussing the game tomorrow. Around the 47 minute mark for anyone interested

Me too, not a fan, however if Potter sees him as his type of player I’m not averse

I listened to this this morning and was surprised as hadn't seen anything about it online. As you point out he's not the sort to just make up a random rumour so does seem odd.

3. Maybe a few years ago but I'd struggle to find anyone who rates him nowadays!

Don't quite see the logic of this. We're not short of wide midfield options of similar quality.

All that said - his career appears to have stalled massively so this could be just what he needs, and I trust Potter's judgement.

While Potter is/was known for taking good care of talented players who lost the plot a bit, I guess the thought of it makes sense... yet no. 28 years old, no better than anyone currently in the squad and without any doubt expensive as ****... no thanks.

What is his best/favourite position these days? I always thought of him as basically an out and out winger, which doesn't really seem to fit in with the Potter way. Also, coming from ManU, wages might be a problem, especially if we've got any players on 'highest wage earner' contracts (I hope we haven't, but expect we have).

Be more interested in young Gomes, TBH.

Good piece on him here >>> https://www.independent.co.uk/sport...ich-fa-cup-ole-gunnar-solskjaer-a9589826.html

Out of contract next Summer, so it seems unlikely that he'd be loaned anywhere next season, as he'll be walking away from Old Trafford at the end of that. You'd think he'd be moved on in the upcoming window given his contactual position.

27 years of age, over 20 England caps, over 100 appearances for a top 6 side - what's not to like when your pushing for a top 10 PL slot.

He's on over £100k pw at United. I'm sure he will have to drop a bit if he leaves United but can't see him dropping 40+%.

Could you imagine all the Brighton based Manure fans commenting on how good he is, if he scored for us

I didn't think he was good enough the first time he played for us and I'm unconvinced he's improved at all
