Yorkie Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 I'd very happily take the 'hit' of losing out on £1million for the sake of keeping him, on the off-chance Howe can get him somewhere close to his potential and a resulting new contract. He certainly didn't perform like a League 1 player against Man Utd. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanji Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 There is not a single reason at all you sell him for 1M. Better of signing him to a 2-3 year deal and having him stay on as a squad member as we move out Hayden and Hendrick. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deuce Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 (edited) The English premium alone for a 24-year old central midfielder with ~60 PL appearances is a fair bit more than £1m. Edited January 6, 2022 by Tomato Deuce Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shearergol Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Reading value Swift at £7m and he's out of contract in summer too. Similar age, probably better than Longstaff on current form. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vlahovic and Nunez ahead of him for me for that reason. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

themanupstairs Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Anywhere between 5-8M is a fair valuation for Sean Longstaff in his current contract situation. He's not THAT useless ffs. Massive dip in form, yes. Worth more to Rafa probably because he knows how to get the best out of him. I wouldn't let him go unless it's for maximum value either in cash or player exchange.

Probably is, however we may as well just let him go now....we don't need the cash, he's not getting in the team soon barring everyone else getting injured, he's not been great when he has been in the team, it is highly likely that we'll spend significant amounts of money on midfield if not now, but in summer when he's out of contract and not likely to get a new deal from us.

There’s a temporary dip in form, and there’s a three year loss of application, fitness, passing and tackling ability, reading of the game, movement… Rafa got the best out of a 18-20 year old who was raw but had potential and was willing- he’s none of that now. At the moment, Longstaff offers us nothing other than legs to put on the field the same as Hendrick. I know the majority don’t agree, but I just can’t see any positives to him right now.

We'd be better off keeping him and letting him go for free in the summer, we still need midfielders, it's not like we are overloaded in that department. I guess if Ramsey comes in then we'll need to clear players out, that would be the only reason you would let him go, but even then I think I'd rather just de-register him.

Baring in mind covid and potential injuries far better off keeping him on the off chance - only sense it would make is what they've apparently tried to do, use it as a gateway to a player were interested in.

Botman and Vlahovic, it seems there is a deal to be done, even if it is for daft money, but the impression seems to be that both are hoping for CL challenging clubs to come in. If any of those are interested then we'll have to look elsewhere. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I proper hope so and hope its for a striker. Yeah but was that a Robinho type signing, or was that him,his agent, and madrid wanting him out because he was being accused of all sorts at the time? There's splashing the cash, or theres taking advantage of an iffy situation. In our case that might be Aubameyang? Not that he's done anything dodgy, but he earns way too much, for any old club to farm him out to, and is clearly not wanted by Arteta. I'd also add, Man City were in nowhere near the mess we're in, its going to be hard to convince a superstar signing to join a club 19th in the league ??
