Darth Crooks Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 Hes nee Jack Colback Thank fuck. Hope this puts to bed the knock the local lads myth. Colback was a bell and utter shit - Dummett is a nice lad and an athlete but has his limitations. In a larger squad he has a place. People love this lad and respect his attitude and application.

Guest alijmitchell Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 Love seeing this guy do his thing for us! He’s class and so great to have a midfielder come through the academy for once. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
themanupstairs Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 Nothing about him reminds me of Carrick. Not that he wasn't an immense player in his own right. He's just a different midfielder with a different style of play. Longstaff is more attack minded and would score/assist many more than Carrick did if he went on and fulfilled his potential. Longstaff will be the first 100M English player in the next few years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raconteur Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 Longstaff will be the first 100M English player in the next few years. Sterling and Kane staying put in the meantime? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 Longstaff will be the first 100M English player in the next few years. Sterling and Kane staying put in the meantime? Sancho will likely come back here or to someone like Real Madrid too in the next few years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In terms of their composure on the ball, their ability to make space for themselves under pressure and their efficiency with the ball, they are very similar. I can see where the comparisons are coming from even if their playing styles are different. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 I feel like we should calm down a bit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Collage Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 He reminds me of Lampard somewhat. Constantly turning his head to keep track of players around him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueStar Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 Longstaff will be the first 100M English player in the next few years. Been watching athletics and so read that as 100 metres. He's long, but not that long! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 The posts about how he has some better attributes than Michael Carrick would say aye, just a bit like. Similarly the ones about not needing Shelvey anymore. He's been a revelation, I just think there's no rush, he looks like he has what it takes though.

BlueStar Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 His song selection is pretty rubbish like, we need to work on it. We were short-staffed, Now we're long-staffed (To sit down, shut up/play up Pompey) We trained him at John Spence To batter your defence Sean Longstaff Woooaahhh Sean Longstaff Woooaahhh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 The brimful of asha one is canny imo, dont think I've heard that used for a chant before and I prefer originality to changing the words to something everyone's singing Was used by us for Joey Barton wasn’t it? Nutter instead of Geordie though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueStar Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 If you can't get overly excited about a homegrown wunderkid coming through the ranks of your team, hitting the ground sprinting and being talked up in the media as an England prospect, why are we here?

Conjo Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 It's a bit early to claim that he's a "wunder kid". The more people build him up now the further the fall is if he doesn't get to the level so many people are hoping/anticipating. It looks like he will be a solid addition to our squad potentially for years to come, but whether it's as a key player, squad player or back-up player depends on how he improves and how consistent he is going forward. For all we know this could just be a purple patch. It's been 7 games. Be excited and enjoy the ride but I hope people don't put unnecessary pressure on him.
