Lingard Is Not Good Enough To Play For Barcelona – Paul Parker

Jesse Lingard wanted to get back to Manchester United to see Cristiano Ronaldo in real life, Paul Parker has said. He recently revealed that the England forward needs to cut out showboating from his game, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, he saw the reports linking Lingard to Barcelona days ago, and he immediately knew it was not true because he is just not good enough to play at that level right now.

Parker added that if Everton buys him eventually, he expects them to have a clause to easily terminate the contract whenever they want.

His words, “It´s a gamble for any club to take Jesse Lingard. He is not good enough to play for Barcelona, everyone knows that. He has let himself down with the West Ham situation. I think he wanted to get back to Man United just to see Ronaldo in real life. He decided to act disrespectful to Nottingham Forest as well. He virtually went there just to chill and he never proved himself.

If Everton decides to buy him, I expect them to have a clause where they can terminate the contract if he doesn’t live up to the expectations. Everton is not an easy club and he really needs to prove to the fans that he is there for the right reasons and not for showboating. He needs to stop everything that he usually does. Ashley Young might help him in terms of calming him down. He is a good role model and maybe he should have been his agent during the summer when he tried to get the move to Saudi Arabia with all the money, which didn’t turn out well.”

WOW.
