Leeds agree £10m for Longstaff

[Keith S30S]

Be a good signing then.

Not without the goals, it was always a big part of his game. He was also very slow and the game has moved on massively since those days.

 

[Biffo The Bear]

oh dear.

Why?
£10m is a decent price. He is a decent player. A far better signing than any Burnley have made.

 

[Geppetto]

Interesting. Sounds like they're desperate.

No one tag the lunchox?

 

[ChicagoCat]

Im in the same boat with the 49ers ownership, and head coach

Can't wait for the reaction when they propose tearing down Elland Road and making a new Revenue Generating stadium in the suburbs.

And agreed on the coach!

Longstaff could be handy for them in the champo next year that said.

Title needs changing to Sean and not Matty

 

[jaraarrow]

Steady signing ,no more ,no less

 

[Keith S30S]

Clark. Which Anderson?

Elliot who Forest signed. Been decent for them, better than I thought.

 

[Mboma]

Does he strengthen Leeds' efforts in staying up and improve their side markedly?......I don't see it myself tbh.

Very uninspiring for Leeds fans.

Jump to it mods ... instructions have been issued.

 

[SAFC Wilks]

Ran the show against us in the cup.

Thought he was bang average mind. Was he better than Pritchard, Neil & Jobe? Well, yeah. You’d expect him to be.

Didn’t think he was the best midfielder on that pitch though. Joelinton was more of a handful.

 

[viccarlton]

He's at best a minor upgrade on what they already have. You need massive improvement to have a chance of survival. You need to buy star players to go alongside your core players not plodders IMO.

And what have we bought?

 

[BucketBiff]

The Mags quoted 50 million for Longstaff in 2019 when Man Utd were sniffing around him .

Surprised they didn’t cough up

 

[Hetty]

Keeeeeef outside the mags breaking the news

 

[ChicagoCat]

And what have we bought?

Two Kantes but with more attacking prowess, Atletico's best defender, Talbi aka the fastest Belgian / Morroccan in the league, and Le Fee on a bargain.

 

[Keith S30S]

And what have we bought?

I'm hoping future star players who can get amongst the elite and ruffle a few feathers.

We haven't bought an almost 28 year old reserve. Proven to be average at best.

 

[Hetty]

£12m according to Keeeef

I agree 100% regarding our players, but they’re unproven in this league and somewhat of a gamble, the point I made was that Longstaff has at least played in this league and Leeds know what they’re getting.

 

[Pepe]

He's ok, but if Sheff U had got promoted, Wilder would be salivating over this type of signing. That would be a red flag for me.

Good move for the player either way as he will at least, in theory, get pitch time

 

[DON R]

Going from Diarra to Sadiki to Longstaff is quite the downgrade. There's definitely worse midfielders in this league but it's some downgrade

I'm sure you watched a lot of Strasbourg and Royal Union Saint-Gilloise to be so confident in that opinion.
