Hope we will soon see him play more with Tonalii and Bruno. After them two he’s the most composed on the ball and evaluates play really well. 

Aye, hope Miley can develop his end product and that could be our midfield for the next few years

He's very close to ending Longstaffs Newcastle career IMO.

Out of contract in the summer, would be happy to just let it expire personally. Even renewing it we wouldn’t get a big fee if we were to sell. 

[Holloway]

Desperate to see more minutes for him,he is going to be top drawer

[Smal]

really looks to me like he should be a number 10, or at least an 8/10 hybrid like a Maddison etc. Has such a good eye for the final ball and the technique to play it too. Could work alongside Brunali as well tbf.

Can’t afford not to renew Longstaff imo. Not with so many other holes to fill already and a FFP limited budget.

We need to register 4 academy produced players and another 4 UK-grown players in our 25 man squad.

 

If you reckon we're OK for that without Longstaff then fair enough, but there's good value in just being academy-produced.

 

(Miley won't count towards any of that as he's U21 and won't take up a squad place)

 

So despite how much it'll make people's heads explode on here, I reckon the club will try hard to keep Longstaff.

No way they are not going to renew.

Another reason I was shocked we let Anderson go. Low key would have preferred to lose Willock. Just don't have confidence he will ever be fit enough, long enough.

don’t think we had a choice? Nobody was bidding for Willock and with the PSR deadline fast approaching there were only offers on the table for Anderson & Minteh?

Longstaff already had a contract extension triggered didn't he?

Longstaff made his 200th appearance for Newcastle in the 4-0 win over Leicester City on Saturday. Newcastle have recently triggered a contract extension for the midfielder that runs until June 2026 though this is yet to be officially confirmed by the club.

Already renewed, and rightly so.

Edit: sorry, I posted that prior to seeing the responses below.

Stanley Busquets. Ridiculous how he has barely any rawness despite only being 18. He can be a seriously special player if he wants to be.

Nice cameo appearance from the boy. Seems totally unfazed.

He will play for England for a long time.

He’s massive as well, looks like he’s bulked up

By all accounts has been on a strength programme as well as naturally filling out

Not sure what you are seeing.  Seriously, do you think he's class?

Gets the ball under pressure and passes it forward with speed and accuracy. What's not to like? 

[Jimburst]

Didn't really see much in that cameo. What's everyone fizzing over? Thought the game was well dead and everyone was waiting for it to be over.
