Exactly the attitude to have let our football do the talking.
To be fair footballers are paid too much and I don't think that belief has ever gone away it's just that folk got bored of making the argument considering it wasn't going to change. Jesse Lingard joining a newly promoted side earning 4x the average annual salary in a single week is frankly ridiculous.
Let them keep talking nonsense on their irrelevant radio show. It just shows how desperate they are when their only content is to latch onto a story like this, add their own narrative and milk it for days on end
Meanwhile the supposed selfish, greedy and unprofessional player took time out of his day to show his face to the U11s
Even took his own selfie, how modest and down to earth is this man?
That made me chuckle.
TBF this is propaganda.Let them keep talking nonsense on their irrelevant radio show. It just shows how desperate they are when their only content is to latch onto a story like this, add their own narrative and milk it for days on end

I believe Darren Fletcher was doing something with him for Football Focus
Exactly there is a lot of PR here stop making footballers out to be angels they are just as calculated as the media. All this stuff like Lingard's, in my opinion self absorbed reveal video after he signed is all white noise to me. All I care about is his actual personality where his professionalism and training is concerned and the best source I have for that is Stuart Pearce who is proper good bloke that is the closest thing to football professionalism that I know of and he said Lingard is a cracking lad, always goes to training with the right attitude and is a top professional. Thats what I care about and that'll do for me not the social media PR that "Jlingz" pumps out that comes across as self absorbed. I am far more interested in the boring day to day Lingard and he is professional by all accounts so bring him on. Cant wait to see his stupid celebration after he scores his 10th of the season
It is literally media day. Where they take all the pictures for the Prem graphics, do all their own images for gifs etc and do interviews.
Not surprised. A lot of talk about how the signing of Lingard would upset the changing room because of his wages, but I'd imagine the squad (mostly made up of young lads who have never played in the Premier League before) are excited to work with an England International who has played (and scored) in major cup finals for Manchester United.
But Richard Keys said Joe and the boys would hate him and he clearly knows better than the actual squad.
I was literally suggesting it was shallow, mediated content.
Not a personal pop, but jeez we're a fickle bunch aren't we? On the one hand we are taking a pop at the media arm of the club for not doing enough and that they need to up their game and then we complain when they use opportunities to publicise the club and the structure and even the environment/DNA of the club...
Actually, I wasn't having a pop at JL
I would take everything you see in/on the media with a pinch of salt.
On the other hand he looks pretty genuine doing these things. He doesn't fake a persona he isn't.
If you're getting on-board the Baudrillard train, you need to start dropping the word 'simulacra' into your response.
