TheInfiniteOdyssey Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 I could somewhat see the rationale in a move for McTominay in the summer when Longstaff was really out of form. However Longstaff has kicked on a bit this season to be fair to him and I don’t see how McTominay is needed in our midfield. We need a different profile of midfielder.

Joseph Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 McTominay is a much, much better footballer than Longstaff. This reminds me of the Pope/Dubravka “debate”. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slim Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 (edited) BARÇA NEWS Barcelona, Real Madrid and Atletico interested in €30m teenage right-back Published 2 hours ago on 04/01/2023 Fresneda’s contract with Valladolid runs until the summer of 2025 and comes with a release clause worth €30 million. It is further stated that the value of the buyout clause could rise up to €40 million in the summer if he meets certain performance-based objectives. That will do Pig Edited January 4, 2023 by Slim Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand 100% no point making small upgrades in a key position, on the same note though we will need to keep longstaff around for next few seasons until we get some home grown players through for European competition rules.

McCormick Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 Would have taken McTominay in the summer (anyone saying he’s worse than Longstaff is insane btw) when I was expecting us to be hovering around 7th-9th by the end of the season. However, if we’re serious about finishing in the top 4, he’s not the level of player we should be looking at. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WilliamPS Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 The media know Newcastle are interested in fresneda as they know the scouts were there - beyond that it’s guesswork Maybe the scout report came back negative. Might be scouting ahead of a summer bid. Or he’s on the plane A first team backup for Trippier feels smart as if there’s a European campaign you’d think it would be too many games for Trippier next year. However it’s not an immediate issue so it wouldn’t be a big shock if it was left to the summer Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
