Jordan Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Hope we can get shot in the summer. He’s a passenger who hides from the ball. Pure profit from an FFP point of view as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he’s so scared he should maybe do something to prove his worth to the team because at the minute he’s offering fuck all, Miley’s looked better all season and it’s his first year playing professional football.

Maybe Nottingham can help us out again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did he not mention it's was always his ambition to play in the Saudi pro league with his big mate almiron. £100 million should.get them both. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibierski Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 (edited) If FFP wasn’t an issue, you’d keep him for back up minutes, local player etc. but he’s one that probably can bring in money to a lower end Prem side, and so we should be ruthless. Longstaff/Almiron/Wilson/Lascelles should be moved on in summer. CB/ST/RW in. Don’t know what we can expect from that, £50m? (15-15-15-5) as realistic aims. Need to nail the buys as money won’t stretch far. Ashley era going to hurt us for so long as after that, it’s the big guys that will only bring in the good money. Edit: Scrap CM. Only need to get one if Joelinton is moved on. Edited February 24 by Sibierski Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
huss9 Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 our current three midfielders dont complement each other so its does make them look worse than they are. he's not been great but longstaff just seems shot of all confidence. someone mentioned the threat of being sold and i wonder if thats affecting him.

vexred Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 I'd sell him in a heartbeat. Wouldn't even keep him as a squad player. I'll be really pissed off if him and Almiron are still here at the end of the summer transfer window. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be really pissed off if him and Almiron are still here at the end of the summer transfer window. I think it won't be easy to shift either of them tbh. They won't command big fees for a start, and they aren't really the ambitious type, so I think they'll be reluctant to move. This is probably the best club they will ever play for, so their next move will inevitably feel like a step down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure he'd want to go anywhere, and I'm not sure we'd push him out either. Him being a local lad probably gives him extra credit with Eddie, so unless it's a fee we can't turn down I think he'll be here next season. Hope he's not starting games though.

TheBrownBottle Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 Who would be in our HG quota for UEFA competitions if we flog Longstaff? If it all looks ok it might make sense; but if we’re throwing kids in it would be crazy to sell him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 Really need to move away from players like Longstaff. So untalented physically and technically. No hiding / lack of effort mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mighty__mag Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 He's popped in with a few goals here and there to help, and he has been a grafter in the past, but there's a list of possibly five or six who should be seived out. I think you have to look at sides like Palace, Burnley, Everton, these slow workmen type sides where he'd fit. He's obviously better than a Will Hughes at Palace, or should Everton sell Onana, he might be a cheap alternative? I could see someone buying him, or, he just becomes our bench player where he'd probably be ok as a back up to our key players. In terms of Fifa negotiations, he becomes sporadic instead of important. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lush Vlad Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 I feel bad slating him. As he might be yet another one of our players, that is playing through injury. But after a decent start this season. He has been pretty shite since coming back from….. oh yes. Injury. Last night was woeful. Seemed lazy with his tracking and Colback’esque attempts at tackles. Made some good off the ball runs, as always. But never seems to be available for the ball when it mattered and he is so limited when he does get it. I’m sure he used to be quite physical and actually get about the pitch making an impact last season? Which is why I feel like he isn’t fully fit. Either way. I wouldn’t want him playing many games next season. Would happily move him on if we could get say 10-15m for him somehow. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbandit Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 I just think that even at his best, he’s a limited footballer. Anything below his best and he’s not good enough for the top half of the PL. Hes got enough application and covers enough yards to be useful when we’re able to play a full press. Take that away, give us few opportunities with the ball and he’s just there as a passenger Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mouldy_uk Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 He would be a reasonable player for the bench, but he wouldn’t get anywhere near any other top 6 team which is my simple barometer Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holloway Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 Can't say he's ever hidden, his limitations are just under more scrutiny with us being down to bare bones Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
