Carnero Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/newcastle-takeover-battle-steve-bruce-20755723 The other big decision that Bruce must make is whether to loan Matty Longstaff out for the start of pre-season, with Derby County keen, or give the midfielder an opportunity to impress in the friendly fixture list after barely using the youngster last term.

Animal is a Ram Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 Looked pretty handy. If we end up losing Knight, I would 100% welcome this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheikh n Bake Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 Online news these days is absolutely dreadful. But saying that, I refuse to pay for the Athletic too. Jram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen him play a few times for Newcastle, he is a box to box midfielder, similar to Knight just better imo. I dont think Knight actually has much quality on the ball, he is just a runner. i-Ram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He runs a lot without much ability as a footballer, in my view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He averages a pretty poor 27 passes per game for a central midfielder of which most are not progressive, and it would certainly back up what I've seen of him also.

He hasnt played a great deal but my opinion is that he is a better version of Knight Andicis 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think some times does a player suit your style of play if roony thinks he suits our style of play then yes go and get him but he knows were the net is.

That's very generous, he has 2 career goals and only has 14 appearances, he's been largely unused. You might be mistaking him for his brother Sean Longstaff who has a few more appearances.

Maybe then But he might take off at champership level like Mason mount did and could even link up with selby well if not sold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
