I'd sell him, Rafa has made Diame, Hayden and Longstaff now look really good in that position. I'm confident Rafa can make any average centre half or centre mid look like a 20m+ player.
Next year under Hughes I don't think Longstaff will do much.
Any bookies got odds on if he goes, who is next to replace him?
Raconteur getting evens on this is like a new account bonus. I'd say 1/20 he stays, 1/3 Mark Hughes is manager next year.
Loans aren't a bad idea as long as the plan is to sign the player if they are good, not just recycling loan players and like Sunderland a few years back.
