Lingard to Forrest @ 180k a week? are they mad? If you want to stay in the league you want grafters, skill is needed to but you want your players to be fully on board. Lingard strikes me as the polar opposite of that. Lingard is not exactly skilful, more a pest who gets about when he is arsed. Run rings around him a couple of times early on and his head drops. He will probably have a few good first games then drop off a cliff like he did at West Ham.
Genuinly surprised at this deal if it happens, such a risk for a club that is going to need every player fully focussed for the entire season. Just checked Forrest forums and generally they are onboard with it. In that case lads i am almost certain you are going to pay for this misplaced optimism. He will be busy choreographing a tiktok video with his 10 hired dancers whilst the rest of your team are hammering out tactics.
