Not too sure why we need Lingard?
We have Bowen, Yarmelenko, and even Antonio and Masuaku who can play on the wing. We sell A true professional in Snodgrass to opt for a falling midfielder who has a troubled past.
Mmm. I hope that they know what they are doing.

Same here. AM is not what we need.

A powerful CM like Kral and an out and out goal scorer are far more important for the squad.

But it does seem like we’re playing chicken with MU over the Lingard loan fee.

2.) 28 Jan 2021 10:48:59
i think we should let Moyes decide who he wants to bring in. We all know we need a striker but Yarmelenko can and has filled that roll when needed but we also know Noble is not as good as he was he's ok seeing out a game as a sub, Lingard would be a decent signing depending on his cost. Moyes is building an exciting side which we have all been waitingfor. i though Moyes made a big mistake signing Dawson Moyes saw something that a lot of us didnt, if Moyes want Lingard let's get behind him and see where our train is taking us too.

I thought dawson was a terrible idea couldn't understand why as a club we entertained that one but boy am I glad to have been wrong
I wished we had left band name till end of season and signed dawson
Joy as has done us well with players in so if he wants Jesse then we should trust him I personally think Jesse is a confidence player so Moyers will work his magic with him.

Now reading DM now linked with Josh. Maja at Bordeaux🤣He played under DM at Sunderland, my goodness are the journalists now linking him with anybody and everybody that he has coached?
Seems a DM type, not a prolific scorer but very pacey, aggressive and a real grafter apparently! He’s English, 22, London born! ⚒⚒⚒.

5.) 28 Jan 2021 17:46:50
Not sure i get the Lingard deal either. Only way it makes sense is if Moyes cannot get his top striker target this window and wants to keep/ play Yarmo as his backup to Antonio until the summer. Jesse is therefore seen more to replace Yarmo's position than anything else.
Personally, i'd 100% prefer us to go for a CM, even over a striker. I see this position as more of an issue/ risk for us. Yarmo or Odubeko COULD step in for Antonio (although not as good), but nobody we have can get anywhere close to Rice and Soucek ATM, and our backup is Nobes. We should not have sold Josh Cullen IMO, seems to be doing well under Vincent Kompany in Belgium.
Dawson and our DF is doing well ATM, good siging, but i think this is more down to having sorted the CM and some decent organisation. If we lose one CM then this could all come apart, much like Liverpool did when they lost Virgil.

i did see a news post relating to napoli looking to pay 24 mill for fornals could be BS this was 2 days ago ain't seen any posts since then don't know if the story has legs but most of serie a teams complaining of being skint.

7.) 28 Jan 2021 21:02:20
Be really disappointed if we lose Fornals for Lingard, we ain’t gaining anything, how long to get Lingard up to match fitness for a start? ⚒⚒⚒.

8.) 28 Jan 2021 22:14:16
Fornals has been a marmite player for many on here. Nobody has doubted his work rate or engine, but several have expressed concern about his end product and his pace.

For me, he’s done enough. Moyse might rotate and put him on the bench from time to time, especially if the Benrahma/ Lingard news is true (though there’s nothing in the WHUFC website about either) .

I’ve rarely seen a player work so hard and it’s infectious for the team.

9.) 28 Jan 2021 23:37:54
For me Fornals starts every game, with him Rice n Soucek in the middle we look decent. Plus the man never stops running for the team. He was captain of Spain U21s and will be in their full squad sooner or later. It would be madness to replace him. He does miss chances, but at least he’s there busting a gut to get there. We had a £45m forward who couldn’t be arsed to get there. Fornals/ Rice/ Soucek/ Benrahma/ Bowen is a midfield many Premier League teams would love.

10.) 29 Jan 2021 08:11:16
I love this site for all our varying comments as to how we see certain players, such complete opposite opinions at times, suppose all sites are the same!
It must surely work that the bigger the squad the more beneficial it will be, knowing DM’s choice of players as we have already seen, also he restricted on his budget obviously for signings!
He’s not going to sign another lazy H player that’s for sure, he’s a canny disciplined experienced Jock that will not tolerate slackers or those with no team ethic. Whatever is his choice will do for me, we should know by now all players will have their inadequacies, if they didn’t they wouldn’t be playing for our club⚒Simple! ⚒⚒⚒.

11.) 29 Jan 2021 11:42:21
Not so sure it would be that easy to list either Rice or Soucek inadequacies this season!

12.) 29 Jan 2021 20:28:11
Or Ogbonnas and Coufals!

That Napoli/ fornals story was run last jan I think its just a lazy repeat story.

Fornals is a steady player he doesn't give the ball away cheaply I like his decision making on when to try play a killer pass and when to come back and retain the ball. Guillem Balague said he was in the mold of a Barcelona type player and u can see that. Moyes has massively improved him off the ball though! He just need to work on his shooting which I'm sure he will be as he's getting lots of chances took his goal really well against Doncaster!

13.) 29 Jan 2021 22:06:11
I think Moyes should be given benefit of the doubt. Who knows a striker deal may include a swap with Lansing or Yarmalenko so was waiting till we got Lingard in to do it? Who knows.

14.) 30 Jan 2021 00:28:29
Obviously Lanzini have to turn off my auto correct or read my post first.

15.) 30 Jan 2021 22:23:07
For me lingard is a direct replacement from 2 either yarmolenko or lanzini and going on his edge I'd out yarmolenko who has to be the slowest wide player I've seen for many a year and there's no guessing lingard might be a Wilshire and not premier league quality anymore we shall see?

We are now trying to build a squad with players that have almost been left on the shelf.
The season ahead is going to be tough and we need to decide a solid eleven a Nd subs who are up for the fight.
I am worried that Declan will go and the cash we receive will be spent unwisely yet again.
If we are to get relegated then let's go down with a team built for a new future and not some player signed as a last resort and fill their pension fund.

15 Sep 2020 18:53:25
Interesting to see if the first eleven this evening will show any passion or effort to take to the Arsenal game.
You would expect a reaction but let's see.
It does however mean that most won't be playing on Saturday!

1.) 15 Sep 2020 20:19:03
Josh Cullen looks to me to be the guy to replace rice if rice replaces noble. Or just let him replace noble, yeah yeah I know it’s only Charlton but he’s looked good in the middle.

07 Sep 2020 16:51:18
First post for the season.
I have read quite a few positive but mainly negative comments leading up to the beginning of the season.
My opion for what it's worth is that our first 11 players are not that bad.
Given that Anderson didn't really figure in the team towards the end of last season anyway Bowen, Soucek, Yarmalenko, Antonio Snodgrass, Ogbonna, Diop, Fabianski and Rice are not that badder team to build around and add to.
Add some youth players coming through, we just need Haller to improve and two solid excellent full backs with pace.
Noble is at the end of his great career and has been short of pace for sometime.
We need another Soucek type player to keep the midfield strong for a full game and not 45 minutes or sometimes less,
How many times did we relinquish a lead last season because we were not fit or ran out of steam.
I hope we can sign a couple of commited players who take pride in pulling on the shirt and hope we can sell Anderson to at least recoup some of the silly money on a player that is not up for it!

1.) 07 Sep 2020 17:38:58
I think our fitness coaches need looking at as there is no need to be less fitter than the top teams ability yes fitness no its like the ANTONIO situation getting arrested for pranging his supercar at early hours of the morning there has to be a level of respect and proffesionalism towards the club who pay big money in wages and that's the least the club and fans deserve. COYI.

17 Jul 2020 06:21:03
Massive day for the club.
A win against Watford should secure Premier League status for next season.
Don't blow it lads and let's put Watford to the sword.
COYI.

21 Jun 2020 12:21:31
Anderson should not be anywhere near a claret and blue shirt.
No change in the attitude or nil effort even after 3 months rest.
Need to change attitude of holding on for a point to be at least try and be more positive even if we do loose anyway.
Worried for last 8 games remaining.
I don't believe Moyes will save us this time!

1.) 22 Jun 2020 08:02:42
Stevemudd, Agree on both comments, what reasons can you possibly give for signings from abroad that have cost £10’s of millions that make hardly any contributions to a game, then continue to play them, what message does that send do other squad players that are available for selection? I can only think DM is under pressure to play them because of the enormous fees and wages that are paid, plus hoping to show case them for transfer, it if the latter is the case, can’t see any Premiership club willing to take him on, the same apples to Haller! May have prospered with their previous clubs but not cracking it in the Premiership, offload both if possible! Snodgrass should be in the team imo if fit, he at least grafts, Wilshere is hopeless and to much of a lightweight even if supposedly fit, he ain’t up for a battle, defenders and midfield would target him, he would hardly last 30 minutes! I agree with Markwhu who says play Yarmelenko. We are now in a desperate position and it needs desperate decisions regarding selection! I can see other teams in similar trouble but look to have goal scorers in their side!

2.) 23 Jun 2020 23:26:59
You no what CHELMS hiya by the way mate, the problem is they do not care enough like we do for WEST HAM in fact they couldn't care about WEST HAM as the likes of LANZINI, ANDERSON, FORNALS, HALLER, are going to get a new club when we are relegated make no mistake about that ANDERSON and LANZINI are putting an ounce of effort for the cause not a bit the only 2 or 3 I would say played well was RICE, BOWEN, ANTONIO in fits and starts.

SOUCEK look as fit as my mother-in-law you can imagine all gums and bums BALBUENA who I had high Hope's for isn't good enough and if a good bid comes in for DIOP then we should bite there arm off CRESSWELL ain't premier league standard IMO and I'm 50-50 on Frederick's but if NOBLES there next season when we are in the championship.

I won't be going so I hope and pray we get out of this because I cannot stand my misses all day saturday moaning and groaning at my daughters all day so come on you multi millionaires start earning you fortunes or are they really hiding. COYI.

At least we didn't buy Mangela!
Wow you can't give him away.
Most teams have a few bad signings. We just seem to have a few more than everyone else.
