James Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 “Prefers London” is a red flag for me. also dropped by Rafa presumably for balance reasons as Rafa likes a defence minded LB. personally having signed Trippier I think the balance isn’t great unless we play a back 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingxlnc Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 6 hours ago, Geordie Ahmed said: I did quite enjoy that window when we signed Debuchy, Sissoko, Yanga-Mbiwa, Gouffran and Haidara Apart from McClaren who I was severely disappointed about, I was very impressed with the Mitrovic, Wijnaldum, Thauvin and Mbemba window. It was a new spine and four of the most highly rated young players in Europe. Carr was also had a lot of credibility in the bank. just goes to show how vital the right manager is.

I think people are reading, "Digne prefers Chelsea" as, "Digne does not want to come to Newcastle." Whereas he may be totally open to the idea of signing for us, but would prefer a move to London should the opportunity arise. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Gleebals Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Why would you unsettle a current player (Longstaff) as well if there is no way it is happening? Guess Longstaff knows he is leaving/said he wants to leave? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geogaddi Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 (edited) What is Benitez trying to do to Everton ? Longstaff is a championship player at best. Edited January 6, 2022 by Geogaddi Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 With agents involved so much these days I don't believe any club would make offers for players if they haven't first asked if they would be interested in the move (unless it's the last few hours of the transfer window) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCormick Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Reckon he’ll string us along for a while until a better (current) suitor comes calling. If no one matches our bid, a couple of good signings and a win or 2 during the window could do a lot to change his mind. Easy to forget we’re still odds-on to go down right now; can’t blame players for being a bit wary. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mighty__mag Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 If Everton accept our offer he will talk to us I'm sure, it's a no brainer swapping Everton as a place to live to Newcastle, but most of these lot live in Cheshire. The only thing that I genuinely think is not in our favour is our current league position, but again surely that can be resolved in the contract.

If he wants to play for France in the WC in the summer he aint going to get selected if he isnt playing and if Chelsea do sign him it wont be as first choice more likely as cover for the current LB incumbent!

Interestingly he missed out on the squad for the WC win in 2018, so maybe this plays into his thinking. He’s 28, limited number of tournaments left… Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s a Low cost option for them, Rafa has obviously worked with him before and can get a tune of out of him. Your also imagine he would be able to slot right in knowing Rafa style and system.

If they get the Sean Longstaff who Man Utd. were interested in under Rafa it's a risk worth taking. If they get the Sean Longstaff we've had since Rafa left it will probably lead to Rafa's sacking Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
