He's played 9 premier League games...

 

True but he was arguably the best player on the pitch for several of those games.

 

McTominay was arguably the best player on the pitch against Barcelona (first game) and definitely the best player on the pitch against PSG yet people on here are suggesting Longstaff is better.

Too early to compare Longstaff to other youngsters because he hasn't played enough games and they play at opposite ends of the table, but he deserves the praise he's getting. Made his first competitive games in a struggling side that had won only 1 of its last 6 (against Huddersfield) and faced a tough run including Liverpool, Man Utd, Chelsea, Man City, Spurs, Wolves. During what should have been the toughest part of our season, he played a major part in turning the season around.

 

Big season for him next year. Hope he comes back stronger from his injury.

I'll sell you Longstaff for £25m, Shelvey for £18m and Gayle for £15m as long as I can buy Rondon for £16.5m and you give me Trafalgar Square plus Fleet Street for £300. Oh, and while we're dreaming........

 

Mackems have already won Trafalgar Square I'm afraid.

Would fucking hate to lose Longstaff now like. Would need to be ridiculous money (£40-50m) for it to even feel remotely fine.

 

Who cares what we sell him for, the money won't get reinvested either way.

I increasingly get the feeling that nothing matters. Sell 'em all, for what impact it will have. Crash and burn approaches?

How many times does this have to be said before it sinks in?  I’d rather we lost him because of a £2m release clause than sell him for £40m and Ashley trouser the lot.

This reminds me of when Hayden was the best player on the pitch against Man City.

I know this is to make a point but I still want to argue Longstaff was better :lol:

I love the cross for Rondons diving header. Couldn't have hit it any more perfect.

 

Most times when I read about young players that "play maturely" I always get suspicious that they are most likely just a bit shit. They do the easy things because they can't do the hard stuff (playing safe, playing maturely), while looking tidy and doing some running around  (prime example being Cack Jogback, but a more recent example to me at least is Tom Davies at Everton). Longstaff though just has that maturety but also the confidence and ability to do the hard stuff when it makes sense. He's also got a good frame/build for a central midfielder and is more athletic than I first thought. I just can't wait to see him on the field next season.  :smitten:

Think I am more excited to see more of Longstaff than Almiron for next season.

 

Such a tidy classy player, that video didn’t even show the penalty he won against Man City but great video anyway. Definitely keep him at all costs, crazy that he has only played 7 games this season.
