Keeps It tidy
Hates Messi
Probably not the part of the story he was responding to.Depends if you want someone who can actually play decent football in your midfield or a CB.

It’s BS, anyway. Surely. Why would Longstaff affect any proper first-team signing we’re looking at. Coming off a major injury, FFS.Depends if you want someone who can actually play decent football in your midfield or a CB.
Yeah, I agree with that part.It’s BS, anyway. Surely. Why would Longstaff effect any proper first-team signing we’re looking at. Coming off a major injury, FFS.
Probably easier. Ashley clearly doesn't have a clue.Now that Benitez won't be there to keep Longstaff at the club, do you guys reckon it will be easier for us to get him? Or is it more likely Newcastle hold off on any sales untill a new manager comes in and evaluates the squad?
Newcastle supposedly offered him a really good new deal. Did he not take it?Now that Benitez won't be there to keep Longstaff at the club, do you guys reckon it will be easier for us to get him?

Was Longstaff highly rated at reserve level because Jimmy Garner looks really special to me and if backed in the Europa and League Cup this coming season he could have a similar number of pro appearances and is three years younger.Newcastle supposedly offered him a really good new deal.

Got this feeling about Longstaff that he'll make for a really good United player. Hope it pans out.
Haha hell no. I'm talking gut feeling, mostly because I like his name. I'm a football nobody, can't be counted to be scouting players. I've watched about 3 mins of a 5 mins YouTube highlight I will be shocked if you haven't seen moreWas Longstaff highly rated at reserve level because Jimmy Garner looks really special to me and if backed in the Europa and League Cup this coming season he could have a similar number of pro appearances and is three years younger.
I’m guessing you’ve seen quite a bit more of Longstaff than I have. Has he really shown special talent?
Not mutually exclusiveThis signing doesnt do anything for me. James is a good no fuss signing who could become good. We already have McTominay and then Garner coming through. Why not buy a proven midfielder.
It’ll be too late. Let’s say he’s performing then bigger club will start targeting him and the club will set £60m or £70m minimum.Wait till they're relegated in May
How do you know we aren't interested and how do you know Jose is going to Newcastle?We've no interest in the lad, which is just as well because even if he doesn't rate him Jose Mourinho is not gonna sell him to United.
We shall have to see what he says when his contract expires at the end of the month. Or if Longstaff moves in the very near future. I'd imagine he wanted assurances over transfer funds and didn't get them.Did Benitez quit because his chairman is selling players without his approval and Lingstaff is one of them?
I spend a lot of time up in Gateshead/Newcastle and a new owner coming in with more money than sense who is prepared to give Mourinho an open chequebook to become Manager is the talk of the Toon, Longstaff is a hunch.How do you know we aren't interested and how do you know Jose is going to Newcastle?
Unfortunately, neither does Ed.Probably easier. Ashley clearly doesn't have a clue.
Just rumoured to be on United’s list is enough to get contaminated? I fear for Danny JJamez and Wan-Lingssaka.Did Benitez quit because his chairman is selling players without his approval and Lingstaff is one of them?

And a good one at thatTypo mate
Benitez is going because he's unhappy with the direction the club is taking. That means that Saudi takeover probably isn't happening.Now that Benitez won't be there to keep Longstaff at the club, do you guys reckon it will be easier for us to get him? Or is it more likely Newcastle hold off on any sales untill a new manager comes in and evaluates the squad?
Neither is buying someone with potential who has played 9 league games. I guess one is a cheap option the other is not.Not mutually exclusive
What I meant was it is not either orNeither is buying someone with potential who has played 9 league games. I guess one is a cheap option the other is not.
Apologies, I was being daft.What I meant was it is not either or
Haha, quality. It’s nice to look back on those gut feel players in a few years time. I was convinced that Forlan would end up a better signing than van Nistelrooy.Haha hell no.
