Transfer Rumour Sean Longstaff

[blueblue]

We might as well talk about him because I think he will be an Everton player before January 31st.

 

[dublinbluenose]

Presumably he will be the Rondon of this transfer window

 

[chrismpw]

Just how long are his staffs?

 

[Bluestar]

Very underwhelmed, but I suppose Benitez knows how to get the best out of him.

He is probably an improvement on Delph and Gbamin?

Just how long are his staffs?

We’ll soon find out as we’re about to be well and truly shafted.

 

[Gardocki]

Does he even make the Newcastle team any more?

 

[sladen90]

Was it under Benitez when he was playing his best football and linked with a move to man United?

 

[hktoffee]

Nooooooooooo

 

[GrandOldTeam]

Could be a clever signing that.

Opportunistic (thinking FFP), and he looked a very good player under Benitez;

 

[Terrarian]

Grim

 

[welshtoffee]

Another Benitez masterstroke , just get out of our club.

Been difficult to see enough of him to form an opinion. He clearly looked good when Benitez was at Newcastle, but read that he got injured and after he came back has not really been the same.

I did watch Newcastle play Man Utd the other week though and he had a good game. He looks to still press well, although probably not going to inject a huge amount of quality to our attacking play. Given we have a huge amount of dross in our midfield ranks, I'm ok with him as I'd rate him above Davies and Gbamin (based on what we've seen) and Delph is gone by July anyway. Different sort of player to Gomes and I'd argue there's a place for both of them in the squad, but even so I'd hope we could be looking at someone who screens the back 4 better than anyone we have on the books now. That's more of a priority than Longstaff for me, but I'm not against the signing as long as we are talking bargain basement fees.

No thanks

 

[Parker]

Genuinely not angry about this... until I see the fee.

I wouldnt say there is a gulf in ideologies in the way Bruce and Benitez set up.
