Cronky Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 It's a bit early to claim that he's a "wunder kid". The more people build him up now the further the fall is if he doesn't get to the level so many people are hoping/anticipating. It looks like he will be a solid addition to our squad potentially for years to come, but whether it's as a key player, squad player or back-up player depends on how he improves and how consistent he is going forward. For all we know this could just be a purple patch. It's been 7 games. Be excited and enjoy the ride but I hope people don't put unnecessary pressure on him. To be honest, he looks like a key player already. He's strengthened the defence and helped to give us a proper counter-attacking game. We're not just hoofing it forward.

Happinesstan Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 Longstaff will be the first 100M English player in the next few years. Sterling and Kane staying put in the meantime? Spurs and Man City will be holding out for £200M, Ashley will accept the first offer he gets. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 Nothing about him reminds me of Carrick. Not that he wasn't an immense player in his own right. He's just a different midfielder with a different style of play. Longstaff is more attack minded and would score/assist many more than Carrick did if he went on and fulfilled his potential. Longstaff will be the first 100M English player in the next few years. So we are suggesting Carrick didn’t reach his potential? The £100m is a mad statement at this point. 7 starts.

triggs Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 The way he moves and his size is similar to Carrick. Hope he doesn't end up playing really deep as he has great technique on his shots Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

themanupstairs Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 His song selection is pretty rubbish like, we need to work on it. We were short-staffed, Now we're long-staffed (To sit down, shut up/play up Pompey) We trained him at John Spence To batter your defence Sean Longstaff Woooaahhh Sean Longstaff Woooaahhh I need some Longstaff baby this evenin I want some Longstaff baby tonight Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not what I meant. I just think he's more attack minded than Carrick was. Not suggesting he's better or even close to him yet. If he were to reach that level though, he would be scoring and assisting more simply because he's a more attack minded player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calm on the ball, good decisions, good passer and a good shot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevo Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 He was the best centre midfielder on the pitch away to Chelsea, Spurs and at home to Man City, Huddersfield, Burnley (Haven't seen his other few games). I'd say it is worth getting carried away. To see a footballer who has virtually no experience of the top flight dominate some of the best footballers in the league if not the world is a rare sight. He stood out like a sore thumb against Huddersfield and Burnley, streets ahead of what they have. He oozes class and his composure is something I haven't seen for Newcastle for a very, very long time. The way he just pushes players off the ball and gets out of sticky situations then puts us on the front foot is beautiful. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
morla84 Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 Not sure why there's such an obsession with trying to say which former player he's gonna be like? Let him be his own player. Likes to win the ball back, makes himself available for the ball, good range of passing, great stamina, doesn't panic and got a decent cross and shot on him.
