Alberto2005 Posted December 31, 2024 Share Posted December 31, 2024 I think it's probably a good time to sell considering we've got Miley to come in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'd need to replace Longstaff if he goes tbf, but it'll be with another hybrid type 1 that can play RCM and RWF Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 Really interesting that he isn't starting this game. That RCM position had always been his. Is the writing on the wall? Could he be sold? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alberto2005 Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 I think we'd be fine without him till the end of the season, Miley is more than capable of playing the role. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I’m glad that Howe finally has done something with our midfield that gives us more playing depth between midfield and attack instead of a pretty flat three that he insisted on for quite a while. Has also helped us defensively. Along with Tonali of course. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could also be helped by Hall supporting Gordon meaning the LCM doesn't need to support the winger as much. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 I really hate digging the lad out but he's clearly not got the correct mentality for an elite level player. This is the game where he needs to boss the midfield, dictate the play and really stamp his authority, yet he looks afraid of his own shadow. We can all point to his ability but his general outlook and attitude is so negative. When Miley is the one who looks to have the maturity, it says everything IMO. Honestly, it's time for him to leave. I cant stand looking at his face when the crowd groans at him. It's all just a bit sad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GEFAFWISP Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 I'd forgive some of his technical (or mainly speed of thought/awareness) misgivings if he wasn't so soft in the challenge and playing scared, that's the killer and he's looked appalling against a League Two team because of it.

toontownman Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Miley has grown into this game. Surprised Munda wasn't given a chance today given the noises we have heard this year about him being close to breaking through. Either longstaff or willock are starting to look expandable. However, If we manage to get into Europe we are still a year or two short of having enough home grown players to keep a full squad aren't we? I'd assumed we would keep Longstaff just for the quota. He has suitors though with Everton strongly linked. Someone has to go to appease psr. Still think it's mad if we aren't cashing in on dubs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’re not cashing in on him, Al Shabab would basically buy out the last 5.5 months of his contract- it’s trivial from a PSR perspective. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
