Lush Vlad Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 (edited) 6th choice or not. We play 3 CM’s. So 1-2 injuries or suspensions and he’d be starting games if we’re in Europe and stay in cups. He’s shown he’s not really the sort to just play here and there or come on and impact a game. Plus he is also only really suited to a certain style and against certain opposition. It sounds incredibly harsh to type it out. But we’ve moved past players like Longstaff IMO. At least we should have, if we want to progress to that next level. I hate all the PSR stuff and don’t fully understand it. But it’s also the last window to get any money for him, he gets us pure profit and he turns 28 in October. Not sure why anyone would want him to stay other than sentimentality and because he’s a local lad. Unlike Burn, who has gone from strength to strength. It feels a bit like Longstaff has regressed/we’ve progressed and he’s stayed the same. Edited April 6 by Lush Vlad Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
St1pe Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 I think the only way I’d consider keeping him is if we’re going big in the summer so we’re restricted by PSR and we only qualify for the conference league. There’ll be loads of shit games in that and we’ll need bodies for it. We need a RW, CB, Striker and maybe even a full back of Trippier doesn’t stay. It could be hard to upgrade Longstaff if we go hard on the other positions. Europa League or Champions League then he’s got to be upgraded also or we’ll suffer.

Newcastle Fan Posted Wednesday at 20:40 Share Posted Wednesday at 20:40 The instant drop in quality when he comes on tells you all you need to know really, love him as a person and a servant for our club but with Miley stepping up i think his time here is coming to an end.

Yorkie Posted Wednesday at 22:00 Share Posted Wednesday at 22:00 We all know it but I think tonight might have been the ultimate evidence of how we've moved on from the likes of Longstaff, and he really needs to move on for the good of his career. After watching Tonali and Bruno move the ball around the pitch with style and quality, to Longy failing to get the ball out of his feet comfortably, was such a contrast. It would be really cool to see him go abroad to a slower paced league. There's still a career for him in a top division, he just has to be a regular starter. And his place in the NUFC history books is assured; he contributed a lot between 22-24. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted Wednesday at 22:05 Share Posted Wednesday at 22:05 He's pap, always has been, but I respect how hard he's worked during a really grim time for the club. I think his career has already peaked with playing in the PL really, but Yorkie is right that he could maybe find more comfort playing in a slower league away from the limelight.

Jonas Posted Wednesday at 22:10 Share Posted Wednesday at 22:10 No pleasure in saying it but looks completely out his depth. Looks like McClen in there now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted Wednesday at 22:10 Share Posted Wednesday at 22:10 I've always been a big defender of Sean but I do think he's reaching a natural endgame here. Perfect time to move on this summer, I still think he'd be a great addition for a bottom-half side and could establish himself in one of those teams.

Some of the shite that gets hoyed at him is unnecessary. 5 nil up and he's getting flack. I still think he will come good though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danh1 Posted Wednesday at 22:18 Share Posted Wednesday at 22:18 Only negative for me tonight was Longstaff and Wilson coming on over Miley and Osula/Neave. It isn’t as if either are going to bring us in a decent fee in the summer and they’ve done nothing to suggest they have a role to play between now and May. Sean should be coming on in the 95th minute against Everton in May to say goodbye and that’s that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeletor Posted Wednesday at 22:21 Share Posted Wednesday at 22:21 Think his confidence is completely shot now and probably won't get it back with the people who love to jump on every mistake he makes as though its something personal he did to them. Hopefully he gets a good move in the summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nufcjmc Posted Wednesday at 22:29 Share Posted Wednesday at 22:29 It's an issue when most what he does is sub par its not about not seeing the good it's the lack of it present. To be fair I appreciated the pass out to the wing but other than that it was alot of mistimed,misplaced akward moments on the ball. He's seen his boyhood club lift a trophy and he contributed to it. Hope he moves on as we as a team already have. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexf Posted Thursday at 00:03 Share Posted Thursday at 00:03 It's been a similar story the other times he has come in recently but he failed to control the ball 3-4 time s before finally getting it and making a successful pass. Also wasn't a total surprise to see when they nearly scored at the end that it was him who slipped. He is just not good at coming on from the bench it seems. Not trying to knock him, but don't really understand the logic of him or Wilson coming in ahead of the young lads, their careers are coming to an end here and we need to give minutes to the future potential stars.

cubaricho Posted Thursday at 04:56 Share Posted Thursday at 04:56 I think Sean is a classic case of needing a run of games. He comes good two or three full matches in. Sub appearances aren’t his move. He’s a decent squad player but I fear he’ll be moved on soon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd agree with this, however I still think we should be bringing on Milley and Osalu rather than Longstaff and Wilson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
