Paying 50m for him will be setting us up for a huge disappointment. He'll flop whatever way he performs if he's bought for such price because he'll never live up to it. Hell, Fred also didn't.
The numptys on here that moan and are outraged after every little bit of news from the media.
No wonder you hate the owners and the board. You're gullible enough to believe every story.

We ain't paying 50£m for him, easy doggos.
They fall for it everytime..
He is being quoted for 50 million. Whether this is true or not I'm sick of transfers already. Wish i could just wake up to the start of the season.

However, I'm not surprised that figures like that are being thrown around. It seemed weird to me that he was being talked about as a straightforward 25m transfer with no reference at all to Newcastle demanding more.
With the likes of AWB and Maguire you get lots of stories featuring higher figures than we'd actually pay. It would be strange if Newcastle were so passive that there wasn't even a single report of them trying to milk us for an outrageous fee.

Don't see why we aren't all in for Tielemans given the prices quoted about
Why does anyone believe this when the article also says we are 'preparing' a bid, just means anything that follows it is made up
There were reports that Palace wanted £70m for AWB which was a leak put out deliberately believe it or not lads.
Predictable valuation from Newcastle, if true. Ashley is trying to sell the club, he needs either player assets or money in the bank to satisfy potential suitors. Still think we may get him for a fair price, but it will drag as usual with us.
If Newcastle want £50m, that means they'll accept £40-45m.
This is their opening gambit. And, based on the informed opinions I've read about the kid in this thread, I'm leaning towards the idea it'll be worth the investment.

£50m?
It'd be better value to just give Ashley the £300m he wants for the whole club!

So it went from 20m to 50m. United tax.
Anyone notice how now Spurs are linked with that Dani Olmo, the price has gone from 35m to 20m. United tax. We are mugs and teams know it.
50m is literally 1/6th of the overall valuation of the club, for a guy who has played 9 times. feck off Ashley you fat cnut.

End up being 30 rising to 35/40, no chance we get him for 20 million.
I think Ayoze had a clause hence the price.

Feck off Newcastle. Just sold their best player for 30 million and want 50 million for someone that has played 8 games.
£50m??? You could put in £10 - £20 million more and get Neves or Ndidi.
These player valuations by selling teams makes no sense at all, if Rodri went for £63m, then I'm sure Sean fecking Longstaff should go for half of the price being touted.

£50m , pull the plug on this now. Paying £25m for someone who might develop into a 1st team player is one thing but for anything more than that the player needs to be ready to be a starter and Longstaff isn't even close right now

Let's not forget that we paid £19m for Dalot when he only played 8 games for Porto first team.
I think he'd cost around £40m with PL / English tax

It's actually hilarious to read..Classic media posturing from Newcastle yet everyone in this thread is having a meltdown
Yep it was never going to be just 20
Pogba than worths 1 billion
Lifelong Newcastle fan. Playing for our shirt is an observation i’m struggling with. Good player though.
This is just Newcastle trying to get the best deal for him. Same as we are doing with Pogba.
My guess would be 30 to 35 million.
Hilarious sort of "big club tax" we pay because if wolves were to go for him, they would get him for 15 to 20 million.

So they'd like us to pay a little over £8m for each PL game he's played. Yeah, feck that. You could probably clone Robbo successfully for that sort of price. They did it with a sheep and imagine how hard that was to fit in one of those scientific test tubes.
Longstaff, Neves and SMS/Fernandes.
I could accept that if Pogba is sold.

He's certainly worth more than Newcastle.
feck off you Geordie bastards.
Right, we’re ‘preparing’ a bid? What the feck are we doing? Writing down the sum on a piece of paper and folding it into a fecking paper airplane and sending to Ashley?
Most annoying expression in football.

Think if we get this lad all the doubters will look back at this and realise this is quite possibly one of the best long term signings we will make over next ten years, this guy is top drawer
We really are just some rich idiots in other clubs eyes.
I like what I’ve seen of him, but £50m for Sean Longstaff is a joke.

What makes you confident that he's going to be one of the best? What has he done that has impressed you so much? Not knocking you, but I am a bit baffled about how so many posters can be so confident about the long term prospects of a player who has played fewer than ten games after breaking into a shit Newcastle side at the age of 21.
50 million pounds worth of gut feelings.
I’ve seen bits of him, but I’ve spoken to several Newcastle fans about him and this guy is very very highly regarded, even half fit he’s going to be a setiiiskt good player by all accounts. Has Rooney vibes about it in my opinion he’s a quality player, man in a kids body
They just sold pretty much their best player for 30 mill. Longstaff will not be going for 25 mill
He's 21 going on 22 so if anything he's a man in a man's body.
What's the parallel with Rooney? Wayne was about half a decade younger when he broke through wasn't he?
Rooney was 16/17. He’s well beyond his years is the parallel with Rooney, physically and intelligence far beyond his age
