Transfer Rumour Sean Longstaff

….you continue to have a view that you can only bring in dross in our financial position. We shouldn’t be settling for 2nd best, it’s a big old world out there, there is quality to be had at decent prices.

In a world where Rangers 2nd choice RB who has barely played many games in a farmers league is going for near £15 million the days of you being able to sign a Jagielka/Baines for £5 million is long gone mate.
 
£50m quoted to Man Utd 2 years ago?

Even if they drop that price by 50%, it would be surprising. At £25m he would hold his value if we decided to sell on if it didn't work out, I suppose.

An underwhelming signing though.
 

There’s a player in there, I remember Man Utd heavily linked to him for big fees a few years ago.

It’s been a while since he’s shown anything and it could be a low risk signing worth going for at the right fee/wages.

Digne isn’t going there so he won’t be part of that sale, and as he’s free in the summer it would need to be a low fee now.. which Newcastle won’t entertain. They’d surely want £5-10m? Seems like a waste of resources for us when he’s free in the summer.

I can’t find what kind of wages he’s on or would want, but we need to continue being strict with wages as we’ve been with Mykolenko and Patterson (combined on apparently less than Gbamin).

A much better option would be Kamara from Marseille, out of contract in the summer, plays in multiple positions but is a true anchor of the midfield which is what we need. Only turned 22 in November too.
 

Some fans really will settle for any old crap. The standards have seriously fallen off a cliff if we’re content with a player as unimpressive as Sean Longstaff.

He doesn’t excel at any facet of the game. As seen, only Allan is dribbled past per 90mins more so doesn’t appear to add anything defensively. 5 goals in 70+ appearances for Newcastle (when he does actually get a game for such a woeful team) so doesn’t bring much attacking threat.

We need better, simple as. Big world of players out there.
