Transfer Rumour Sean Longstaff

[MikeH72]

Feels similar to the response to Martinez taking Janes McCarthy from Wigan. Yet, bar for injuries, was a decent signing.

I've not paid much attention to this kid, but if he only plays for Benitez that's a worry. We've got enough who find and lose form under different coaches.

My thoughts also, as he’s on limited time as our manager.

He's 24.
Not a regular for a relegation threatened side.
Never played international football at any level.
Will no doubt never play regularly for Newcastle as they'll buy midfielders better than him.

5 year deal at Everton please.

….I’m ambivalent on this one, I haven’t watched him closely enough to comment.

What I don’t accept are the shouts that he’s ‘better than Delph or Gbamin’. That is a very low bar to be setting and we need much better than that, even at low cost. Rice type from what folk say, just hope he’s not a pudding.

Bar codes version of Tommy D, keep Tommy as midfield back up. Longstaff = Longcontract. He'll be one more we're stuck with when the manager is sacked.

He's not terrible, just no better than what we've got.

 

[Abertonian]

I suppose Benitez knows how to get the best out of him.

Fair leap of faith that after what we've seen this season.

You're a fan, right?

I don't actually see him coming here tbh. Posturing for a better contract I reckon.

No way he leaves the bench of his ambitious boyhood club for Everton's bench.

 

[roy vernon]

Newcastle/Howe want to keep him.

Good

 

[barneygumble]

If we turn round and offer him a 2.5 year deal, I’m not against it.

He’s been around the Premier League for a long time, and considering Newcastle haven’t been very good since returning, he’s yet to make a name for himself.

Feel like he won’t be what we needed, we need an explosive midfielder, who can score and assist, and he’s managed 6 combined in 70 league games which isn’t the best, but provided he’s a backup, a replacement for Delph, if you like, then fine.

If we start with Townsend, Longstaff and the rest of the Rafael cronies though, I despair.

It's just a complete waste of time.

Save the money. Play an academy player like Onyango.

 

[Jimishorts]

@davek wants him.

Gerrard wanted him at Rangers.

Chance Villa could look at him.

 

[ForeverBlue92]

Could be a clever signing that.

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

You know the drill on here - unless he has a sexy foreign name or does cruyff turns in his own box he aint good enough for 15th place Everton.

He would suit the profile of player they've been signing for the last few years.

He's not really good enough for 19th placed Newcastle so why should be good enough for here?
