Odear Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 I wonder if we might see him stay. A lot has changed. He was probably reluctant to bring his family up here because he was last choice.. not so much now. Unless he genuinely wants out of the club.. but you wouldn’t know that way he’s been playing. Respect to the lad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonny1403 Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 He's dead wood. Let him go. Never going to be PL standard Doesn't change the fact that our midfield is dross and we desperately need 5-6 new players of PL standard.

samptime29 Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Hope we get a decent fee for him, at 23 £8-£10m would be a steal for a mid-lower Premier team. I think we will. He's been committed and looking like a very solid midfielder ATM. If we can get a fee in that region, happy to say thanks and good luck. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shearergol Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Preferred the one saying he should be sacked. Can I claim that one? To be fair to him, his attitude is much much better now than his first couple of games back in the team, where he was shirking challenges. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Was it Cardiff? On at HT, terrribke performance and sent off. Didn’t want to be here. I was done with the lad. But In this recent run he’s been fantastic. As many goals and assists as Shelvey managed all of last season. The B2B role suits him much more. Despite his need for a break ever 70 minutes he has a fantastic engine. With him and Longstaff in the side with minimal games in their legs. We are much more dynamic compared to other teams in midfield. Of course they are way better but Liverpool have shown how a hard working, mobile, strong midfield that can get the ball forward at pace can succeed even with a lack of guile.

DJ_NUFC Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 He does want to leave, so we can't sabotage his move by setting too high an asking price. 8-10m sounds about right, I'd be delighted. Honoured, even. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lush Vlad Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 He was worse than usual on the ball tonight. But if it wasn't for him being so wasteful, he'd be up there in the MOTM conversation, IMO. He does all the nitty-gritty stuff so well. Good in the air, covers a lot of ground and he's quite fast with that long stride. Was pressing high up, getting stuck in and just breaking play up all over. Compliments Longstaff, who is far more leggy and slow. But obviously miles better in possession. Where has this pairing come from?! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newcastle Fan Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 All that talk is about Longstaff but he also deserves a lot of credit, works his socks off and fights for everything, no matter what happens after this season ends he has been a great servant for this club.

Disco Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 Second highest pass accuracy tonight. Won second most headers. Covered an insane amount of ground and a couple of vital interceptions as they broke into the box. Man of the match for me albeit a close run thing.

Not surprised if he had ran the furthest of any of our players and the headers stat doesn't surprise me. The passing one does, mind. I thought he was really wasteful and gave it away when there were good options on. Just with a slack pass or touch. Maybe it was just a spell in the game where everyone was sloppy. As before that, he was unreal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 Think he actually properly tackles more than any other player I've seen. Like actually going to ground and getting a leg in. If the ref isn't too pedantic it can work great. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 He and Longstaff have added so much dynamism in midfield. We can actually press high up the pitch. Get midfielders in the box. Good work. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lush Vlad Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 True that. I’m still a big fan of Shelvey. But he’s not the most mobile or disciplined. Ki is just painfully slow and Diame is always up and down. But he’s pretty erratic. Still can’t believe how this stumbled upon pairing is working so well.

Yorkie Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 Dunno where this player has come from; it's going to be a pity to see him go because his development has, all of a sudden, had a massive peak when it never really seemed likely. Guess he just needed a run of games alongside a very good, very dependable partner. Will be a very useful player for someone next season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leek Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 If Schar hadnt of hit that rocket then he'd of been my MOTM tonight. Won headers, won tackles, pressed well and covered the pitch. Hes never looked like having such a run of performances in him but hes been brilliant this year, he must of copied Mo's new year resolution from last year.

TRon Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 He and Longstaff have added so much dynamism in midfield. We can actually press high up the pitch. Get midfielders in the box. Good work. Very true. He's young as well, when his head is right, he's a very valuable midfielder. At least if he still wants to leave at the end of the season we should get a fair value fee. Someone will be getting a very decent midfielder. Him and Longstaff aren't one dimensional like a lot of our midfielders tend to be, they can both get up and down the pitch and press the ball, then do a bit with it. Genuine box to boxers.
