Solid pass.
The type of signing we should be making, but not for that price.

£50m
Let's just put this into context. Ashley wants £300m for the entire fecking club!
The joys of Jose Mourinho.Newcastle must be thinking “these clowns spent 50m for some nobody from the Ukrainian league, Sean is worth at least the same”.
You’re being hysterical tbh. Since when have Manchester fecking United been a ‘penny pinching side?’.£25m up front and £15m in long term bonuses on appearances/achievements, maybe. Nothing more than £25m up front.
Just not worth focusing on young British players like Longstaff with the *extra fee* just for being English, and them being at clubs who can afford to hold us to ransom.
Terrible idea for a club that already gets quoted inflated fees just by virtue of being who we are. For a penny pinching side this new policy is just Really. Fecking. Dumb.
That nobody was playing for the Brazilian NT. Even if he hasn't played well for us and consequently hasn't been called up again, at the time he was favoured over likes of Fabinho and Allan.Newcastle must be thinking “these clowns spent 50m for some nobody from the Ukrainian league, Sean is worth at least the same”.
The issue is they’ve obviously briefed the press that they’ll ‘only accept 50 mill’ so if they then turn around and accept quite a bit lower they’ll look like mugsThey will always start with a really high price. Depends if Woody can negotiate it down.
Good point.The issue is they’ve obviously briefed the press that they’ll ‘only accept 50 mill’ so if they then turn around and accept quite a bit lower they’ll look like mugs
Jose's fault is it...The joys of Jose Mourinho.
TouchéGood point.
Mike Ashley wouldn't do anything that would people take him for a mug.
Pep said no. Jose said Yes. So yes like most clubs he goes to and f's up their budget and squad it's his fault.Jose's fault is it...
Unless it's Woodward/Utd that's briefed them, to get a reaction from the public saying how ridiculous the price is.The issue is they’ve obviously briefed the press that they’ll ‘only accept 50 mill’ so if they then turn around and accept quite a bit lower they’ll look like mugs
Fred not only played very well in the Ukrainian league, but did it on the CL stage, too.Newcastle must be thinking “these clowns spent 50m for some nobody from the Ukrainian league, Sean is worth at least the same”.
Ashley will want to sell Longstaff deep down and they've just sold their best player for £30 mil. £35 mil would be a massive offer and I don't think they'd turn it down, they're just starting at way over the minimum price they'd sell at, similar to Zaha and Palace.I don't think this is surprising or dumb. Why should they sell a talented midfielder for 25-30M when he's on tiny wages and they need to stay up and he'll still have 2 years left on his deal next summer? If they think they can get at least 25M for him next summer, they shouldn't sell him for less than 35 or so this summer you would think, since a replacement midfielder of similar quality is going to be on bigger wages anyways.
He'd probably cost double that.Yep, time to walk away from a this bad deal. For 50 million you can buy an established international. Longstaff has played 9 senior games. Christ, Ruben Neves is currently valued at 40 million. I would actually feel dirty giving Mike Ashley 25 million.
Wait where has it been said Neves is valued at 40 mil?Yep, time to walk away from a this bad deal. For 50 million you can buy an established international. Longstaff has played 9 senior games. Christ, Ruben Neves is currently valued at 40 million. I would actually feel dirty giving Mike Ashley 25 million.
Is he likely to get the chance again ?I doubt we'll pay £50m so I think this depends on how much Longstaff wants the move
I'd guess he isn't that arsed as he's a local lad and only just got in the team, staying for another year might be the best thing for his development
I don't see why notIs he likely to get the chance again ?
Well he definitely wasn't considered one of the brightest prospects of the Newcastle Academy. He's 21 and only made a handful of PL appearances. If you think it's wise to spend £50m on him at this current time, coming of the back of a serious injury, then I'm not sure what to say.I don't think any of this post is accurate.
