Both dropped for Shelvey and Hayden for the past month coinciding with Newcastle climbing the table. Essentially Matt had a good game against us on his debut and Sean was okay, after that they've both done poorly.
Makes the links with us seem even more strange. Matt seemed good from the clips but I'd have expected the club to have extensively scouted him, and he isn't even shining at Newcastle.Both dropped for Shelvey and Hayden for the past month coinciding with Newcastle climbing the table.

I would assume that Sean Longstaff would have been a £15 - 20m punt, much like what James was. The quoted figure of £60m was beyond ridiculous and nowhere near what we would have been willing to pay. Whether he is even worth that much remains to be seen and I couldn't possibly comment because I don't watch him play much and it doesn't look like he is getting much of a run in this Newcastle side!Both of them just seem like bog-standard English central midfielders to me, I don't see anything that makes them stand out over the likes of Cleverly, Rice, Wilshere etc. Nothing special whatsoever, I am so thankful that Woodward didn't allow Ole to spunk £60m or something on Sean this summer because we'd be getting a worse version of McTominay. Christ. Our scouting needs to raise its game BIGTIME if that's what we're targeting.
Honestly, if a club other than United had come in for Longstaff and offered 20M, they'd have considered it long and hard. Because its United, they probably had to huddle together and ask themselves whats in the bloke that they missed but United was seeing and if they played hard ball they could get more.I would assume that Sean Longstaff would have been a £15 - 20m punt, much like what James was.

It was satisfying. Irrelevant players who will fade back into obscurity after having the game of their lives once again against us.Ginger twat deserved that thrashing after the shite injection celebration.
How did Sean play? Worth 50 million?
Haha I thought I was a bitter guy asking a pal if the "ginger Longstaff" was still smiling afterGinger twat deserved that thrashing after the shite injection celebration.
What was that about?Ginger twat deserved that thrashing after the shite injection celebration.
We should sign Matty and play him for U23s for half a season and loan him out to lower leagues for rest of his career.Matty has 3 goals in his first ever 11 appearances for Newcastle.
A ginger goal scoring box to box midfielder!
He'll cost nothing in the summer.
I'm wondering are Ole and The Glazers tempted?
They don't rate Sean then?Tweet

The People Under The StairsWhat was that about?
Anyway, I'm no oil painting myself but he is a hideous looking fecker...
Spoiler tags not to frighten anyone.
This is such bullshit. If he was our number 1 target we would have paid for him. Its clear we thought he was worth a punt at an x price and laughed when Newcastle tried to ask for 50m.Tweet

He should definitely sack his agent, the tea lady probably has a better car than him.Tweet

He only debuted a few months ago and has only played 5 league matches. He hasn't signed a new contract and only penned his first pro deal in the summer of 2018. He is 100% still on that same first pro deal.If that's true, that's superb.
But I doubt he's still on that original youth team wage somehow.
How do you know this?He only debuted a few months ago and has only played 5 league matches. He hasn't signed a new contract and only penned his first pro deal in the summer of 2018. He is 100% still on that same first pro deal.
The countless articles that say he is in a contract stand-off or the fact no contract renewal has ever been reported.How do you know this?
There was plenty of talk about him getting a massive increase after scoring his first against us.
Fair play to the lad for 30% though.
