Carlito Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Longstaff has been a breath of fresh air so far. Puts himself about nicely. Hopefully Rafa keeps him around (if Rafa stays). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontenacity Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Would be nice to be able to praise one of our players without shitting on another. Shelvey is one of our highest quality players ffs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toontownman Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Matters not when Tielemans walks through the door Thursday. I mean obviously he walks through the door then out the other one when he realises he is completely in the wrong fucking club. My bad. Longstaff is a huge bonus for us, with Ki and Shelvey hopefully fit within the next couple of weeks, Diame back to speed and hopefully Samaris for Hayden things definitely look better. Hopefully Sangare gets the chance to train more often with the first team too, potential there and with a few bairns tbf. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest chopey Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 I wonder if the emergence of Longstaff will convince Ashley to spend a few quid on the acade....eerrrhhhh, I know I know. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hows about we keep a good player, and also bring another in, instead of replacing, just a thought like. Is Shelvey the type of player who is happy to be a squad player? I don't think so, he's been a bit lackadaisical in the few outings he's had as sub. It will be interesting to see if he gets his place back when he's fit.

Guest Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 If we were to get someone of Tielemans profile I’d happily see him leave. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozy Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Shelvey's an attacking sub only, not the man to bring on to protect a result as he's unfortunately proved time and time again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

FWIW I'd also advocate doing it in the summer... if we were a properly run club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

His closing down/tackling is fantastic but whenever he has the ball we know we're about to lose it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer Diame to Hayden tbh, closes down the opposition a bit better and just generally shows for the ball more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

St1pe Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Seeing him at the match last night he's much better than I was expecting. He's a lot more mobile and athletic and he seems to cover a lot of ground quickly. He also could have easily hidden in those last 10 minutes given his inexperience but he seem to take it upon himself to make sure we saw that win out. Hopefully if he keeps developing and starts working a few more forward passes we could be looking at a decent player. On form it'd be hard to argue someone should be starting over him even if everyone was fit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanSkÃrare Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Pep didn't really say anything about him, did he? Seen the headlines but seriously can't see Longstaff's name mentioned, just Pep talking about our "holding midfielders" being a problem in a passage.

Longstaff is one of our “holding midfielders” right? And it’s from Pep, one of the best “holding midfielders” in his era and the founder of Busquets. I would take his comments very high in this aspect Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
