My Dad used to call him "100k", a reference to his weekly salary. At the time, he earned more than Salah. He turned down West Ham because they offered him a lower salary.

[@mesicek7]

@@MajorMumwett It is true though. He rejected West ham because Forest offered him way more money. He earned almost 2 times as much in 1 year at forest as he would at WHU in 2 years.

[@MajorMumwett]

@@mesicek7 sorry, but that is absolutely wrong. Lingard was actually only on £80k basic at forest, the rest was offered in the form of appearance bonuses, which he didn't earn. You have no idea what he was offered at West ham. You also fail to recognise that there was a year in between his west ham loan and joining forest. He sat on the bench during that season and barely made a sub appearance. West ham delayed making an offer for him so he started talking to other clubs. Nottingham is also a lot closer to his home than London.

[@mesicek7]

@@MajorMumwett Because he was a free transfer he got a big signing on fee. Remember when everyone were reporting how much Sanchez was earning at utd? 500k a week? It was because of the signing on fee which was calculated into the basic salary. No club will pay millions up front. His base salary at Forest was 120k + signing on fee which was never revealed but i'm almost certain it was at least 1m which comes to around 21k a week more. so he was earning close to 140k a week. He was their most paid player at the time.

[@MajorMumwett]

@@mesicek7 well according to multiple scources, including forest, his wage was £80k per week. He would have earned the equivalent of £200k if he'd met all the criteria, which he failed to do. Anyway, my general feelings about Lingard was that he was never that great and I don't really care what he did after united. He is entitled to try and earn as much as he can. I don't understand why he got (and still gets)so much abuse. He had a decent career, but has struggled with mental issues and unfortunately for him, his united career happened to be in the post-fergie era when united are a mess.

[@gosharan]

The Lingard case is a perfect example of poor representation and lack of seriousness: 1. Poor representation: Lingard's agent / brother manages him or atleast used to during his last years at United. When he came back from his super successful West Ham loan, United were ready to sanction a sale. There were suitors too - West Ham were interested among other PL clubs and I believe Lingard was ready to go back. His minders however, kept telling him he was undervalued i.e. needed to be paid more (like over 100k a week) and potentially deserved Champions League football. That seems a bit much for someone who just had a good 4-month spell (you need consistency). The agent also went on record saying that with 1-yr left on his contract "they held all the chips". That is quite ridiculous - so much talent out there and you don't hold chips when you've had the stop-start career Lingard has. So, they squandered that opportunity and he sat on the bench. Even in Jan, they wanted United to send him on loan / release him so they could get a better pay day from a club not having to pay transfer fees. Why would United agree to these demands - and they ended up keeping him after the Greenwood news. 6-months on, he was a free agent and there were a lot of suitors - but his value had diminished since he'd been a benchwarmer for a year. Again, his representation over valued him - turned down multi-year contracts from good clubs because they wanted crazy money. They would get crazy money (>100k a week) ONLY from Forest and it was a one year. Why would you sign a one-year deal as a 30yr-old when you have clubs like Newcastle, Fulham offering multi-year contracts. Yes, lower pay but more stable clubs (remember Forest were just promoted and signed ~15 players that summer). Again - bad representation. Clearly more money turned out to be less money in the long-term - he is now without a contract. 2. Lack of seriousness: Players cannot choose to turn up when they want to. It's about consistency and working hard all the time. You can't work hard for a few months and live off that. He's been late to training, faked minor injuries and his time on social media is shockingly high - nope, not some PR company doing social stuff, Lingard himself spends a lot of time on KZbin and IG. Maybe being friends with the wrong folks - Pogba, Sancho etc., impacted him, but as a serious footballer, you got to be 'ON' all the time. De Bruyne, Fernandes - players he was compared to during his West Ham spell - compare their seriousness for football to Lingard. Have you seen them post prank videos with teammates. Lingard also annoyed United pushing for them to give him some KZbin exclusivity for content - again, another sign of non-seriousness from a footballing standpoint. a lot of talent, I really wish he had channeled it better or atleast had the right minders to advise to focus on what's important. I am hearing Rashford has similar minders not giving him the best advise. Sad!

[@FeeFii001]

I know right. I keep drawing parallels to him and Andreas Pereira, guy recognized he is of little value to his brand if he stayed at United. Went to Brazil, got his form back and choose Fulham with the lower wages but the guaranteed of a long-term stability. Today, he is doing okay for himself career wise

[@MGWA6891]

Took a gamble and lost. It was inevitable, though. A player having to go out on loan and then joining a team that would be fighting for their seat at the top table is always going to be a disaster. He was never going to be able to produce his best football with that calibre of player around him. That's why he only has himself to blame, took the short term payday instead of playing the long game. If he signed permanent for West Ham and had an okay season clubs would still be willing to take a punt on him. 🤡

[@sususegar]

Just to add a slight correction, The Athletic reported that Forest actually offered him a 2-year deal with maybe slightly lower wages. He/They didn't want it, probably thinking that he could shine as a "big fish in a small pond" at Forest for a season then zip off for a bigger deal elsewhere. He wasn't even thinking about any possibility of making a return to the England squad, let alone the World Cup. If he did, he would've made the logical choice of going to West Ham. There was even an attempt at positioning himself as a "mental health victim" after Dele Alli came out bawling before Gary Neville, it did work to an extent for a short period of time as some people in the media including pundits and journalists suddenly became very careful when commenting about a waste like Lingard.

[@jackdominiak445]

I’d say I noticed the trend with Ozil (though his happened while at a club) and a few others. They are players with ability but at a high price point. The price (wages etc) is one only the biggest teams will pay or a small or medium team would only pay for a player they are absolutely sure would perform and raise their level. The need to keep big players with huge contracts usually leads to such contracts and if performances dip or injury sets in or manager/ play style change, you have a big player with a big contract or a free agent with significant demands.

Overhyped, overpaid with an underwhelming attitude.. Had two career highlights: a excellent spell for Utd before the 2018 World Cup which got him in the Mondial squad and played very well during a short loan period at West Ham in 2021. Apart from this mediocrity has characterized his performances. Totally failed at Forest and not wanted in Saudi or at West Ham for a second spell tells the story. He is a close friend of Rashford; that explains the rest.

[@iDUNKbiscuits]

The lad was a lifelong United fan who wanted to chance to go back and be a part of his boyhood club again It was said that Solksjaer told him he would feature in the first team at United after impressing at West Ham & they didn't want to sell him to a team they saw as a "rival" at the time either so him going back to United wasn't strange at all. He joined Forest over West Ham when his contract expired for money. They offered a bigger salary and massive bonuses as mentioned which West Ham simply weren't willing to match given his form has been notoriously inconsistent

[@BitsOfBen]

You know your career is messed up when Tifo football makes a video about you! 😂

[@UsernameAmos]

He joined FC Seoul of K League 1

[@HassanKhan-rk2hu]

When Lingard did ehat he did fkr West Ham, United wanted him for another year, the Ronaldo year. The attack was too stacked for him to fit anywhere and he just never played. United ruined his momentum not once, but twice. I thought I was going to see a beast at Nottingham, but what happened, happened.

[@mateo1726]

He needs to go to MLS. He would be an incredible addition to any team.

[@donaldrussell9406]

Lingard to Luton has an interesting ring in my mind

[@derosabike]

Sad waste of talent really, especially when you consider Andrés Townsends situation where he fought back from a terrible ACL without a club and has worked so hard. Townsend seems to really appreciate Luton Town, which with great respect is a step down from his former employers although still top flight. I doubt that AT was ever on the same level of salary though.

[@gbjb6606]

now he is coming to Korea and to my beloved club fc seoul. as a Korean i'm still shocked and confused haha. i mean to Fc seoul? really?

[@randomguy5404]

Money talks

[@EmpireOfTheBarnacle]

Hope the young fella bounces back, got a lot of potential

[@AVFCAM]

It’s a good point, I think footballers followed the lead of those that went before them, you needed another contract as your wages wouldn’t keep you forever…as the wages, even in the earlier PL days, while higher than average, weren’t life changing…they’re now realising that they can just sit back and wait…they don’t NEED to work for a few years…they know there will always be the MLS, the Saudi league and even desperate promoted clubs who need a big name

[@stephendenis3855]

bro trying to get that Miami move

[@F--B]

Lingard's stock has always been artificially inflated, as with others who made their name at MUFC.

[@ash4733]

He’s still young, give him some time to grow and in a few years he will be in his prime 😊

[@5minutesto12am6]

Jose Mourinho said something along the lines of ... See where United's former players play, if they play. Man was right all along about our decline. Football heritage.

[@hanifanuar8720]

he has the balls to ask for more than the saudi clubs offered him, so that’s a loss for him

[@Loto-c5e]

Once zlatan said: if you get ronldo's goal he will be someone like lingard but if you get messi's goal he will be someone like xavi, modric, kdb...(:

[@cagada245]

Gio dos Santos is also a player that hasn’t had a club in like 2 years, a Mexico GOAT

[@Mpb17-Music-]

I can’t believe de gea is not playing when his the best keeper in the world 😤

[@eltontonge4186]

Appreciated his tenure at united

[@IgazenTalksWrestling]

Sometimes when I’m being offered a job that I don’t like but also don’t want to personally decline, I just ask for a price so ridiculous that even the Saudis would laugh at. I’m sure that for a man as rich as Lingard, he’ll do the same thing.

[@wilsonmpesha904]

He's heading to Korea now. Wow.

[@kelvinmoombe4358]

Still waiting for the Video about how good Zidane, Beckam, Kaka, Van Persy were!

[@seb2750]

Man, I forgot all about Lord Lingardinho until this video. Where is he at now, I dont even know.

[@calahoon22]

Much the same what happened to players that drift like him....ego and stubbornness with some injuries involved

[@Khigha87]

Come on Everton! Do this deal! You need a creator when Doucoure isn't available! Dyche do this deal!!!

[@PSV_PSG]

Won’t Dele be back soon? I heard he’ll be back in a few weeks not sure if this is true but I think he will come back and shine for Everton

[@JelloShots-wg6tz]

Its not a big deal. There are 1.5 Million youth footballers in UK. How many of them can claim to have played for one of the biggest clubs in the world AND scored the winner in an FA Cup Final? He has had a good career.

[@matej9368]

Nah he should return to Europe

[@iansargent196]

Him and Dele should do a podcast and have Mourinho as the first guest. It'd break the internet.

[@panchopuskas1]

He's now seen as toxic. Managers don't want players who are not 100% committed.....Manchester United are a prime example of what happens when you buy bad. Lingard will never play for a top club again and is hanging on to see if he can get a nice little earner for doing FA in Saudiland or the USA where defenders are not too sharp and expectation not too high.....

[@duruakuebuka9148]

Where's the Greenwood video

[@kykeon]

He saw ultimate end of the football and walk away from it.

[@rakipmacka8559]

Still time to learn for lingard. He is still young

[@LeoJay]

I see a pattern here, a spoiled arrogant and overrated English player gets lazy after getting a big contract, Lingard, Dele Alli and Sancho all fit this category.
