What a clown. He’s really stolen a living and still wants more.
Shame to see a promising young player like that go to a nothing league
At this point, just take what you can for a season or two. He's already lost half a season's income wondering around US, London and Saudi on trials.
He probably saw the attendance of their last two games and thought against it.
Dancing infront of 690 fans is going to look a bit silly. ๐
Get j lingz back at OT. He's missed.
I dont get why thats funny, tryna say Lingard deserves same pay as Hendo?
Could do a job for us on the right...
Jesse Lingard has been left in transfer limbo with Saudi Arabian club Al-Ettifaq now minded not to sign him following a trial at the club.
Lingard has been training with the Saudi outfit but they are unable to complete his signing due to the foreign players' rule in the nation. Two of the club’s non-Saudi players would have to be released by January to accommodate the former England international in their squad – an unlikely scenario, coupled with the player’s financial demands which are above what the club are prepared to offer.
Last month, West Ham boss David Moyes explained that the former Manchester United midfielder was training with the club and struck an upbeat tone that suggested the 30-year-old would be offered a short-term contract by the club.
However, Lingard ended his spell using the East London club’s facilities to begin training at the Saudi Pro League side with a view to completing a transfer. That now appears to be unlikely due to their player quota, coupled with the player’s demands.
Al-Ettifaq are managed by Steven Gerrard and have overseen significant spending this year including the arrivals of Jordan Henderson, Moussa Dembele, Georginio Wijnaldum and Demarai Gray, among others. It is unlikely any of those players would be allowed to move at this juncture.
Lingard played for the club in a friendly earlier this month and took just four minutes to find the back of the net. Domestic rules state that Saudi Pro League clubs can only have a maximum of eight foreign players in their matchday squad – but they already have 10, before the possibility of incorporating Lingard.
It continues the transfer limbo for Lingard, who has been without a club since leaving Nottingham Forest at the end of last season as a free agent. He had trained with two MLS clubs, alongside the Hammers and Al-Ettifaq, with none taking up the option to make a transfer.

That’s clearly nonsense. He wouldn’t have gone out there in the first place if the quota was the issue.

Maybe the club throught they could off load the players and bring him in. What's the point of taking him over when you're at the limit in the quota anyway? Even if wages weren't an issue, they couldn't sign him anyway.
