Matty Longstaff (now playing for Toronto FC)

Ah dear #43, we hardly knew ye, thanks for the memories #Bellingham.

Another nail in the bacon coffin, throwing this guy under the bus with his snide public comments.

Maybe he might have been more interested in stay if he had been given more match time, Steve. Like more than Nabil Bentaleb for example.

lol woops, was supposed to be ...

Well then, Matty. You staying or gone already?

That hair dye's done wonders for Matty like.

I know what I'd be doing if I was him.

Honestly, who the hell wants to actively play for our club. I just can't work it out.

Hope he goes somewhere foreign

So bleak knowing this sentiment will be rampant among our fanbase

Scapegoating the young, local lad for being 'greedy', instead of holding the ruinous regime to account 

Fans always have a very difficult relationship with player wages. We’re desperate for good players, cheer them to the rafters, then say they shouldn’t try to get the best deal they can.

We we sign a player, we never say he should’ve stayed at his old club.

I’ve still no idea how good or bad the Longstaffs are going to be but it sends the wrong message.

Do we even know it's just about money for him too?

It's more likely that he's lost confidence in the viability of his development pathway, with Bentaleb (an appalling player) and a CB played ahead of him. He's only had one start all 2020.

Hope his career tanks from this moment on wards, gone are the days when you would give your left arm to play for your local team.

If he wasn't willing to accept 20 grand a week then fcuk him.

Is it not more about ambition? If he thinks he can improve elsewhere he’d be stupid to stay.

Yeah fuck that.

Not even going to wish him luck.20k a week is too much for anyone to live on anyway. A nurses annual wages every 8 days or so.

yea have ambitions to fight relegation every year just because it's your local club with an owner who doesn't give a fuck about u

Thick as fuck

Do you enjoy living in the metropolitan city of Sports Direct ?

Given our transfer budget will be almost zero and we’re unlikely to sign Bentaleb. Surely it would make sense for his career to sign a deal here as he’s almost guaranteed Premier League games given our squad. It would have been worse for him if the takeover happened.

I can bet you now him or Sean will amount to fuck all.

It will be interesting what his next move will be, I don't blame him jumping ship either. Fuck playing for Bruce.

Not going to dwell on this because I don't think Matty is particlarly good and he's 4th/5th choice in one of our weakest positions. But there's no point in letting him go for free.

Never heard Colback piss and moan like a greedy scrote, pity Matty didn’t take note from a real local lad.

Unfortunately at Newcastle United we've a long tradition of letting decent young players go. Put yourself in Longstaff's shoes. His manager is Steve Bruce who's decided a centre half in Schar and a poor looking Bentaleb (who incidentally if we're on about being committed to the cause, how does that work for loan players ?) is keeping him out the team. I can't blame anyone wanting to leave this mess at the moment and every message he's been getting from the club and from his manager is essentially that we don't rate you as much as we rate several other players.

Good luck to the boy.

Just as well his replacement will cost nothing and play for free. Could have been in a bit of a pickle there, phew.

Best decision he’ll make, leaving this shit show
