Millenniumram Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 Longstaff is a raw, but very talented lad. He’d be a good loan signing for anyone at this level, you’d see real improvement in his game if you give him the games I’d think. I’m not convinced a midfielder is really top of our priorities right now though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this true it could be a case of Mac observing our current defensive midfielders and realising they arent good enough, or ready. Our supposed best one, Rooney, looks set to have hung up his boots, so maybe Mac is looking for his George Thorne. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would bring in a quality central defender, attacking midfielder and possibly 2 strikers if somehow the budget allows.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bielik, Shinnie and Bird are all more than good enough, and provide us with plenty of options. Longstaff has the potential to be better, but I don’t think he’d be a massive improvement right now.

Definitely need 2 strikers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I wouldn’t even class him as a midfielder, he’s a rotation striker for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparkle Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 I don’t see how this would help at all - we have centre forward needs I do expect Mac to go in for Tom Ince on loan in January though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abu Dhabi Ram Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 Great, back to the tried and trusted method of developing other teams players, a typical Mac tactic... We just need to play Bird, Knight and Sibley as our midfield three. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The priority this season is to dig ourselves out of this hole we're in - whether it's by playing home-grown players or bringing in loans is completely irrelevant.

1of4 Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 Why would we want to bring in an inexperienced player, who as a poster has called raw but talented, who will benefit from playing more games. Don't we have plenty of these types of players on our books already. If the club is going to bring in loan players surely the type of players needed at the moment are those with more experience and the ability to help us get out of the situation we are presently in.
