To be fair it reads like we have already like with BDB triggered our end of a 1 year extension but next sentence he says talks ongoing about a new "long term deal" offering him another 3 years say may help get a better fee but we know  no one is queuing up to sign him for any fee. 

Don't believe for one minute it’s about getting a good fee, purely because we wouldn’t get one.

 

Genuinely think Howe rates him highly.

We can't allow a 26 (tomorrow 27 year old, happy birthday Sean) regular to walk for nothing. Even getting £10-15m would be important and if not, he has a role as a homegrown 5th-7th choice CM in any case.

7th choice CM? How many teams have 7? [emoji38]

We had 7 last season (Bruno, Joelinton, Tonali, Willock, Longstaff, Anderson and Miley) and Longstaff had to play basically every match. Ideally that would be a role for some kid from the academy but that won't happen for a while.

Say what you want about Steve Bruce, at least he knew Longstaff wasn’t good enough. 

He played a big part of us finishing 4th. He shouldn't be in the starting 11 but to say he isn't good enough is a load of rubbish.

Getting £10-15m would be good, but it's more likely he'll just stay here until we give him another new contract. He doesn't want to leave, and Howe gives him plenty of time on the pitch.

Not good enough for a possession game, but he was a consistently good performer in the press we used before.

It’s interesting to me, I don’t dislike Longstaff and often finds the stick he gets unfair. 
 

I have seen a lot of comments praising his performance last night, I don’t recall anything of note standing out in a positive way. 
 

the below clip did stand out at the time in a bad way, that’s so poor defensively from Longstaff imo, he should be following Felix into the box.

im not saying he had a bad game overall but I don’t recall anything amazing.

He was decent, he arrived in the right place at the right time a few times, mainly to collect a loose ball where someone else had made a mistake or a press.
 

Made a few mistakes as well. 
 

I’m trying not to fixate on his mistakes and try to see more of the things people say he does.

It looked even worse from the camera behind them. What's he even doing?

You don't notice him much because on the ball he doesn't do much, his main value is closing down space. Last night when you have Tonali, Willock and Joelinton also sprinting to press hard, it can make difficult to play your way through it and Chelsea got caught several times early on and we scored our first goal because of it. Although that was more due to Tonali and Joelinton rather than Sean specifically, but he plays his part in the press.

Not this again :lol: Absolutely pointless stat. Subbed off when losing in 2 of those games and we got a draw and a win. Our two best performances this season came when he didn’t start. Results just didn’t quite go our way. 

 

I mean all the lies, bots and racism on Twitter is bad. But the football accounts tweeting out meaningless stats is right up there with the worst of that hellsite :lol:
