Love the lad to bits, but I really don’t want to see him in a Newcastle shirt again. He’s simply not good enough, but what he’s lacking in ability, he’s not even trying 90% of the time.

He just needs a fresh start at another club. Was completely baffled by those who claimed that £15m or whatever wouldn't be enough and we should demand more for him? He's just not very good at football unfortunately, he'll graft all day if he's fit and his attitude is spot on but he offers so little these days. Just take the best offer in the summer, shake him by the hand and wish him the best. He doesn't deserve abuse but I'm not going to blindly applaud consistent really, really poor play either

There's a lot of hyperbole in here as usual but even as someone very forgiving I'm kinda losing the will with him. I can't think of the last time he played and wasn't pretty shit. He was awful against Bromley and not much (still a bit) better tonight. That extra half second he needs really stands out when you're watching Tonali and Bruno week in week out.

 

That said - and I know this is a cliché - but we do need a squad, so I'm not desperate to sell him. We play with three midfielders, which means you need six to choose from if you intend to go deep in all comps. If he wants a move and/or it's appealing from a PSR perspective, then fair enough, but no Longstaff means our key players getting flogged more than they ought to.

These are the games we need him for, so it's really disappointing he doesn't perform in them, when he really should be above the level of the opposition.

 

Doesn't bode well for us going forward at all if we keep him.

Like a few yesterday got better as the game wore on. Long term he I still think we need a squad so happy for him to be around, but we know where he is in the pecking order.
