The Fish 11523 Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 On 01/05/2022 at 11:39, Howay said: I guess the bit that confuses me is the players people have listed as us getting rid of and we need depth aren’t in the squad. He’s clearly the worst CM in our current 25, and I’m really hoping we plan to add at least 1 CM in the summer as most of our current group aren’t good enough. So where does he fit in? Maybe the plan is to sign him on a deal so we can get money for him? But I’m not sure that would be the case, and then he could opt to just sit on the deal. Expand Is he the worst? I might be biased, contrary or just wrong, but I think there's a player in S.Longstaff who could surpass Shelvey and Willock. He's got better mobility than the former and a better range of passing than the latter. I think he needs coaching, for sure, but I don't think he's doomed to the scrap heap just yet. We could absolutely buy better than him, but I think he's a better option from the bench than Shelvey, at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s shown basically nothing in almost 4 years at this point, even since Howe come in. Hopefully you’re right, but I just think he’s a championship level player tbh. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Gloom 24480 Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 i mean if you are extending contracts for the likes of longstaff and dummet, they surely have to be short term, see how they go-type extensions. don't want to be tied down to them long term Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig 7822 Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 We don't know what's being observed on the training pitch. A little over 6 months ago the majority of us would have happily seen Joelinton flogged for £12-15m. Unlike the previous coaching team, I trust the judgement of this one. If they're seeing fit to award a new contract, it won't just be on a whim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We only see what goes on on the pitch and where Longstaff is concerned, that's nothing more than a few minutes here and there. What they're seeing on the training ground may fully justify their decision to award him a new contract. As I said I trust the current coaching setup to make the correct calls. I can't think of a demonstrable example of where they've got it wrong so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wykikitoon 24111 Posted May 3, 2022 Author Share Posted May 3, 2022 Joe & Krafth have come on leaps and bounds. Doesn't it speak a lot that a forward in Joe is starting ahead of SL? I just don't see any improvement from him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJS 4766 Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 He did have an excellent game against Chelsea but I'm struggling to think of anything else anywhere near that that clearly justifies this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wykikitoon 24111 Posted May 3, 2022 Author Share Posted May 3, 2022 I think like others have said though. This contract isn't out of tightness so we have to trust Howe etc. I just think 4 years that is reportedly being touted is too long. I just haven't see him improve enough to justify that. He's probably on peanuts anyways and is a better (just) option than Haydn. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand as a longterm nufc supporter/sufferer/poster i'm in a position to say whatever i please based on what i've seen of him the past few years, i'd say he hasn't earned a four year deal. i'm not against giving him a short-term extension. i can understand a two year deal. four years seems generous and a gamble. perhaps he's pulling up trees in training, but then why not play him more? we have been burned recently by giving lengthy contracts to the likes of gayle. i hope we don't regret doing the same here. if he is given another four years, i'll be delighted if longstaff prove me wrong. just as i was with joelinton. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Krafth is playing because of the situation with Trippier. I get that. But let's all be honest. Joe isn't a midfielder. Longstaff is. If he had shown anything in training he would have surly been starting more games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
