Transfer Rumour Sean Longstaff

[blueblue]

Gana had stats that were only bettered by kante at the time

That didn't stop Evertonians not wanting a player from a relegated team.

Is Steve Bruce our new DoF??

Even worse, it’s Rafael Benitez.

 

[Daveysgingerlovechild]

Maybe he knocks up a good paella?

 

[MACCA75]

Completely different type of player.

He’s not massively different tbh.

@MrGrumpy
He's made 34 tackles and won 23, so a pretty good success rate (67.65). better than our midfielders, other than Delph (88.89 per cent but obviously fewer games).

He's only made 5 interceptions which is below average (which is 9). He's above average for duels (117) and has won 58 which is very slightly above average (49 per cent compared to 48).

Recoveries 58 which is bang on the average.

If I put it to Everton and Newcastle mids only...

He ranks second for dribbled past (26 compared to Allan's 47, which shows the lack of positional discipline from both as the only other player above 20 is Almiron (25), an attacking player).

Tackles he ranks fourth for attempts (34), behind Allan (45), Murphy (37) and Willock (35). His success rate ranks fourth too.

Interceptions he is below everybody apart from Davies and Gomes. Duels he is 7th out of 14. Duels won 8th out of 14. Duel success he's 5th. Recoveries, he's 9th.

Thanks for the awesome stats

Him and Allan next to each other in midfield gives me the fear.

on the other hand could be jus what Allan needs. fresh legs next to him and then can push Doucoure further forward?

 

[Blues Harp]

25 million, you know we are talking about Sean Longstaff do you? Any more than 2.5 million would be daylight robbery.

2million on a short term contract....thats what we'll get for Davies

maybe so but there was at least evidence to point to the fume being unwarranted, there’s none with this feller, it’s bolasie/ iwobi all over again when the majority of the fanbase could see what a disaster it was going to be and it turned out to be the case

Just lankier and older, oh and injury prone ?

 

[Eggsyblueskin]

Have to get a move on or Forest will snatch the useless Geordie mutant from under our nose.

Seems a bad idea to play two of the players most often dribbled past in the league as a midfield pairing.

Longstaff is better when he plays further forward keeping things ticking over with simple passes to the wings etc. Put him in a defensive role and he is useless.

 

[MikeH72]

But they’re both the most dribbled past midfielders in the league. Tugboat Allan needs a fresh set of legs himself, not next to him.

"Most dribbled past player".


lol lol lol

The utter mental categories these kids have these days.

FFS, is there one for a player who spits most on the pitch or points more than others?

Sigurdsson is obviously the best pointer with an xP per game of 9.
