Guest covmag Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Heard a rumour that he doesn't want to leave, but that it's completely out of his hands. If the club decides to sell, he doesn't have a choice. Repeat of the Andy Carroll sale He can choose to stay, but why would he. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 https://twitter.com/dexpress_sport/status/1145945987292237824?s=21 I’d take £25m for that Longstaff. Edit: they’ve taken it down. Daily Express had photos of OGS & Matty Longstaff. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shearergol Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 £25m will fund all of our transfers and wages for this season. Hard to turn that down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sugoinufc Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Selling Longstaff for any amount this summer will be the final kill. It wouldn´t surprise me at all...absolutely no hope left. It has all fallen apart - more than ever thought possible Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
geordiedean Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Why any of our players would want to stay now is beyond me. Why would any player want to play for a club who have no ambition at all to compete or win anything and are content to just struggle like fuck every season. Also our facilities for a premier league team are an embarrassment again why would any player want that Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Howaythetoon Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 Know someone close to him, doesn’t want to go, but club have accepted whatever Man Utd have offered and he will meet for talks over personal terms to be finalised if he has any brains.

Guest Howaythetoon Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 Only surprising part of that is he doesn't want to leave. By all accounts he’s a well grounded down to earth kid. I rate him, but all ego and self confidence aside I’d be thinking let’s get in 2 years of first team football at Newcastle, become the main man, get some injury free consistency, get into the England squad and get a cap even, and develop nicely under a less pressurised environment and then move. It’s all up to him of course, but a move to Man Utd is just as or more likely to curtail his development and experience than enhance it right now. Look at Jordan Henderson and Carrick for example. It’s not as if Man Utd are going to fast track him towards silverware or playing in a top team, even if they were at that level which they aren’t. If he does move, hopefully he gets into the team, plays every week and becomes a top player with success coming his way. He's more talented than Henderson IMO, but very raw. Anything less than 25m would be a joke, still it all goes into the club’s pockets so anything that gives Rafa... oh wait! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have what he's having Mate, I know you've been away, but there's this guy called Mike Ashley... If Rafa was here, or a takeover looked likely, I'd be spitting blood. In fact, I've half a mind to buy a Longstaff away top from 18/19 as a sort of bookend for my love affair with the club. EDIT: Not mocking your rating of the lad - I think he's the bomb too. Just the staying here bit, just mocking that bit Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say he'd have more chance of getting in the England squad as a bit-part Man Utd player than a Newcastle first-teamer. Also debatable that a relegation battle at a club almost constantly in chaos with talk of boycotts and potential protests throughout the season is a less pressurised environment.

Chicane Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 Oh I am sure he'll develop real nice playing under Neil Redfearn's excellent tutelage and training in our state-of-the-art training facilities, recovering after a vigorous session in a blow-up kiddie pool outside. Not only that, but in the second year he'll be able to look forward to plying his trade and learning by playing against elite players from sides such as Millwall and Preston in the Championship. Aye, he'd be mad to leave. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

John P Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 Dan Storey wrote an article (a very good one) on the whole mess at the club at the minute and said Longstaff was 'likely to leave.' I tweeted him to ask if that was his knowledge or just speculation and his reply was - "As far as I know, he's keen, Man United are keen and Newcastle are prepared to sell. Which suggests it will get done." Doesn't sound good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proves that our academy and training ground is fucking mint, no need to invest anything there, and we're getting £20m for a player we've only paid small wages to.

Wullie Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 Almost everyone in the first team will have their agents working overtime if they've got any sense at all. The likes of Lascelles, Lejeune, Dubravka, Almiron would be insane not to try and jump while their stock is still high. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 Even by the club's usual selling policy it seems beyond moronic to let him go for £25 million now like. Can only see his value increasing over the next few years if he stayed, £25 million for a player that Man Utd will turn into an England international feels like robbery in the current market.
