Kid Icarus Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 Longstaff strikes me as someone whose potential can only be fulfilled here and under a coach like Howe. I'm very much a fan of his despite his limitations, but £15m of pure profit is a no-brainer imo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobsonsWonderland Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 I think he will be similar to Lee Clark, Aaron Hughes... Go onto have a decent career at another club. Another 100+ games whereas if he stays here is will gradually move down the pecking order as we begin our upward spiral Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

andycap Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 Wasn't sancho rumoured to have fitness problems not long ago? If so I don't think he'd be up to par with Eddie's high intensity training methods. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 1 hour ago, STM said: I wouldn't get your hopes up. I don't see Longstaff leaving at all. That said... if a bid comes in closer to 20m, it will be hard to turn down. He'd be a cracking signing for any newly promoted side. I don't think he deals with the pressure of playing for his hometown club very well. I think he'll be reluctant to leave as well, very much seems a home boy. But Leicester's not that far, what is it about 3hrs on the motorway? Maybe he'll bite if we give him some encouragement. My only worry would be Eddie might want to keep him around, but that money would buy us plenty given the FFP restraints. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 I honestly think he’ll see out his contract here, then go and play with his brother for Toronto FC. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 If Longstaff ends up staying I have some optimism that he'll go back to being a useful squad player, assuming he isn't expected to play 46 games again. He's not a terrible footballer at all, like. He's got some useful attributes and did score eight times last year despite being worse than shit.

You could say the same about Wilson and Almiron as well tbf, but if they all leave on a free at the end of their contracts, that's quite a chunk of change we'll miss out on in our fight with FFP.

andycap Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 Lets be honest he was knackered all season we know he's better than what he showed last season. Good squad player that's all though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsunami Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 We missed Longstaff when he was out injured. He’s a decent squad player, at 15M I think he’d be a good buy for Leicester. If selling him is the difference for us to be stay within FFP/ being able to make an important signing, I’m afraid he’d need to go. I’d much rather lose Miggy/ Targett.

Beth Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 I'd rip Leicesters arms off for that. Means we could use that money for FFP to get a top class RW or CB and keep Minteh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe1984 Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 (edited) You do realise if this happens he'll be nailed on to score against us when we face Leicester. I just hope he doesn't get a hat trick like Wood. Edited June 9 by Joe1984 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A goal more than David Ginola scored in his Newcastle career. It'll always stick in my mind for that reason. He had a poor season but his output was very good. Murphy similar although he also performed well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 Even someone under-par like Longstaff should fetch more than £15m, like. Get it to £20m and let's start talking. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

midds Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 Sorry like but if we're ever to move on to 3rd base as a club then we need need to move the likes of Longstaff, Almiron, Lascelles, Anderson, Targett, Murphy, Dubravka and Wilson on. They've all be useful servants, worked hard, fulfilled their roles but we need to take the next step and unfortunately they're not part of it. They're all canny lads, none of them have done anything horrendous but it's just a natural process of improving and setting our sights higher and higher. I wish them all well but we 100% need to cut them adrift this summer or next Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Duper Branko Strupar Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 Harsh to include Anderson in that list, imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
