Leeds agree £10m for Longstaff

[ferryhill mackem]

No wonder mags are getting knackered with PSR. Not saying he's a world beater but a homegrown bottom half of the table midfielder surely must be worth more than 10m? It's also squad depth that needs replacing

Last year of his contract

Not as bad as people make out, probably the level of player newly promoted sides can sign, apart from us like, Cos we're f***ing massive.

My work colleague is a s/t holder and said it's dross watching him week in week out. Over the moon they're getting shot.

Not really going to kick Leeds on and improve them significantly though.

I believe there are add ons too...

Well they've lost Rothwell from last season and replaced him with a better player. Looks like an improvement to me for not a massive outlay

 

[The Great Soprendo]

Yeh, good signing.

He is a proven Premier League player.

Canny player in my opinion!

Well he certainly fits the bill as a PPLP (whatever that actually means) that many on here seem to crave, but he wouldn't be my choice, and there'll be no return on that £10m which makes it a bigger risk than the lads we are signing IMO. His wages will be bigger too, I would imagine.

 

[The Cookie Monster]

Good signing imo. Adds a decent amount of Premier League experience. Nothing wrong with “bang average” if you’re a newly promoted side.

 

[Hongkongphooey]

The only chance they have of beating us to a signing is to go after mags

Also after Anton Stach

As a 49ers fan who hates the ownership - I am curious to see when the fanbase turns on them.

Maybe he will sign and then move to The Rangers International in the Jan window on loan after he's only played 3 games

 

[VenisonsMullet]

oh dear.

 

[Sea to Shining Sea]

That’s a good signing. 200 league appearances for a very good top half side over the last 7 years and still only 27.

I know you’re not meant to say it about Mags, but he also seems a fairly decent and down to earth character. Not your typical Mag gobshite. And he likes cricket.

 

[Stormo]

You’d be gutted if Sean Longstaff was your top midfield signing.

 

[Keith S30S]

He's Lee Clarke circa 2025 without the goals.

Anderson lite.

He'll do well for them in the Championship.

 

[gastap]

Tjats the extra 10 milliom for ellanga

 

[kingkeane]

I'd be fuming if we signed him. Not just because he's a mag. Be a canny signing for a Championship club.

 

[cluffy]

Thought it was Macaulay Langstaff

 

[rebelsafc]

I believe there are add ons too...

His brother Matty????

 

[viccarlton]

Yeh, good signing.

He is a proven Premier League player.

Canny player in my opinion!

^^^^THIS^^^^
Despite all the backbiting and point scoring on here Leeds know what they’re getting.

 

[Sneech]

People will laugh but I think that's a pretty solid signing for a promoted side*

* Obviously not us as he's a head chopping bell ringer

Yeah I agree.

You see a lot of posts on here about needing Premier League experience, and he's played a lot of games in the Prem at a pretty high standard.

It could be a very good signing, but he could also be one of those players who look like utter dog shite without the better players around him. Suppose it depends who else Leeds bring in to compliment him but 10m looks a decent fee for that level of experience in today's market.

The mags will be gutted as they just want a team that tries and trying hard was about 90% of his game. Wonder who they will bring in to replace him?
