The Daily Star are reporting that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is hoping to have a transfer deal for Sean Longstaff tied up this week.
Apparently, the Manchester United manager wants Longstaff on board prior to them leaving for their pre-season tour on July 8th.
Earlier reports have stated that Manchester United would open the bidding at £15m which of course would be summarily rejected by Newcastle.
This report has the initial bid at £20m plus add-ons and a five year deal for Sean at £75k/week. The Daily Star seems to think that this would do the trick.
Sean Longstaff– we may have to face the inevitable
If Newcastle accept a bid of that amount for Sean Longstaff we would be very shocked and devastated.
Well, we’ll be devastated at any price because we would see a local lad with such potential taken from the club while in his infancy and it would be solely down to the avarice and stubbornness of one man. And no matter what the price, it would not be fully invested back into the club in any case.
We will have to see what transpires this week as everything with this club is so fluid at the moment. There simply is no foundation and no structure in place without Rafa Benitez.
If Sean pushes for a move then fair play to him. We would understand but if he doesn’t then there is no need to sell. The club makes a fortune in TV revenue. But Ashley cares about deals in which he comes out on top and Sean is a cheap commodity that he can reap financial gain on.
Sean Longstaff yesterday was reportedly open to waiting until a new manager was hired before making a decision on his future. But those same reports stated that he was absolutely gutted that Rafa Benitez was leaving. Earlier this month with the prospect of working under Rafa for years to come, Sean all but committed his future to Newcastle United on NUFC TV.
The loss of Rafa Benitez has changed all that. It has changed everything. We were past the hard part and about to crest, but Mike Ashley has kicked the club back down the hill and tried to smash our will to get back up. But he has gone too far this time.
Sell Sean Longstaff and things could get very ugly.

Comment #5The sh*t will hit the fan if they sell Longstaff after everything else that’s happened. I won’t blame the lad for leaving (I’d rather see him starting at Man City than Man U) but it could be the straw that breaks the camel’s back for some. Our first real promising youngster sold before the start of his full pre-season in the first team? Insane.

Comment #10Despite Longstaff saying he wants to wait and see what happens, we all knew he’d say that. He’s a local lad brought through by a great manager. But his mentor’s gone, pushed out by Ashley leaving what? An owner with no desire for on field success, a supposed MD who’s out of his depth, no coaching staff to speak of, no hope.
The lad’ll be away and feeling totally let down by his club and who could blame him.

Yep
And oddly enough his example is totally lost on MA
How many more are lost to his lack of giving a duck about us ?
Loves selling em, has no intention of finding em
Hes a total muppet without a clue how to run a business other than just exploiting them

You seem to be getting a bit of stick and it’s no surprise to me. I said when you first appeared that you are troublemaker.
I didn’t call you narcissist then but your approach to the blog is very similar to another narcissist who posts under several names. Could you be another Jib, albeit from over the pond?
How about changing your name to something more apt – Jibusa for example? It’d suit you and doesn’t it sound like abuser.

Comment #22I was off to kip then I spotted the Man U link to Longstaff
If Ashley now comes out in the press and states “Longstaff is going nowhere ! “, don’t be fooled by Ashley point scoring .
My thoughts are Ashley has pushed the Newcastle United supporters to the edge of exploding in anger but it’s going to be an individual that does something irrational and really bad and we will all be tarred with it.
Ashley would love that . Keep your cool guys.
Over the hill with the swords of a thousand men !

Comment #26God if hes sold I’ll personally assassinate that fat blob. This has Fergie behind it all the way. They are so hungry to land an unproven player and I know why. Fergie is able to spot these great midfielders a mile away unlike any other manager.
