Think saying Wilson didn't come with NUFC when they made the step up is a bit harsh, his run to the end of the 22-23 season was key to helping get 4th spot.
Wilson has missed many games through injury, and it's frustrating, but his goals-per-game ratio is excellent when fit. I think you'd be hard-pushed to find a striker with this proven quality for sensible money and happy to sit on the bench. I also think he is a solid character to have around the squad. Knowing that Howe likes to ease players into the team and that we can get goals from elsewhere, I'm not surprised we didn't see Osula at Wolves. PSR is limiting the pace at which we can improve the squad. Starting the season with Wilson as a second striker and signing Osula is a gamble, but it's a calculated bet, and only time will tell if it pays off.
Eddie just had to take a calculated risk with Wilson - but I don’t think he had much alternative. In the end we ended up with£70m we didn’t spend, but in each of the last two windows we simply didn’t have the money to buy a quality replacement and - after the Guéhi business - I’m not confident we could have got one anyway. As you say, we are looking for someone as an Isak stand in who, for the rest of the time is happy to sit on the bench !
One example of longstaff that lots of Newcastle fans moan about was against wolves,in the first half he never made no tackles and was Total anonymous in the first half ,hence Howe took him off. He runs around like a headless penguin more times than not and he is capable of a good performance but it's a rare thing. Miggy is the scapegoat and i prefer miggy to longstaff by far.
He's rubbish I really don't understand the love in outside of him being a Geordie. I hate watching him he's so one paced and gives the ball away constantly when he's put under pressure. He's a weak link when he starts we need to move on from players like him.
@@skilla20I know. I’m from Newcastle and I’m shit at football too. Hopefully this is enough qualification for me to be loved and supported by all the fucking wet wipes who stick up for Sean Longstaff.
Watched presser and got to say guys we could’ve wrote the script beforehand. However thanks for a good summing up and let’s HOPE others follow and forget the so called tensions.
Great listening to you guys as always. Longstaff gets a lot of stick as Miggy and Dan Burn and most of it is blatantly over the top. The way some people speak about our players make it seem they were playing for the Mackems. At the end of the day it is Eddie who makes the call who to play. As long as the team is winning and picking up points, there is not much to complain. Playing like the Entertainers did not get us anywhere at the end of the day.
This just highlights how badly we did in our last two transfer windows. People keep saying our squad is good when everyone is fit. I can’t remember the last time we had that…
I think Longstaff's value to the squad is always overlooked. He's so reliable and the type of character that glues things together. Plus if they get back into Europe you need academy players. Already lost Anderson.
If isak is out is play Harvey Barnes on the left Gordon on the right Bruno willock and tonali with Osula up front with them 5 behind him they all can score goals and move , it’s not like isak is scoring goals at the moment, I’d rather have my line up as Gordon does very little as a striker but he’s fantastic on the wing , we would have more chance of scoring with my line up as Gordon as a striker we would have Murphy or miggy on the right so it’s useless
Im sure the operation on Wilsons back was discussed as a potential solution to his recurring hamstring issues a while ago 🤔 .. sorry if my memory is letting me down
Agree with you Jordan, Sean is a great squad player and not a starting 11 and should be retained to be that player behind Tonali. Last season he played most of it injured, he is not world class like the rest of that midfield but we need players like him to fill the gaps and also he gives us 100%, I remember him and Marty sitting just in front of us from young kids with rest of the academy players, he bleeds black and white. On the striking front we should sign a decent RCB for £20-25m and spend rest on upgrading striker and RM department. That may even mean selling Isak to gain the PSR multiplier and he also has a dubious injury record, during and prior to joining us. Lots to do for Paul Mitchell.
Ever since pro football started some players are prepared to play through pain (Longstaff) Some players cry off if they snap their boot laces ( Wilson) It’s always been that way
To be fair with a lot of Hamstring injuries the source of the issue is either alignment or a back problem. As good as Wilson is on his day we should of sold him the year we qualified for the Champions League as his stock was at the highest.
Just saw Craig Hope talking about the back room stuff why can’t he just let it go claims he is a supporter but just constantly stirs the shit he is a joke
Great video fellas, it will be interesting to see what happens to the players out of contract next summer, like you said it would make sense to offer Longstaff a new contract for PSR. Hope we play well down at Fulham HWTL ⚫️⚪️
i can see what you`s are meaning regarding longstaff,new contract means money if we move him on but name any of the top 6 who would even contemplate buying longstaff, and that is what we are trying to achieve by replacing one of them top6 teams and establishing ourselves as a top team
Eddie said last time it would be next international break you knew this, he got the back operation to fix the hamstring issue you guys are slow to the party
Also when you talk about getting him signed up to a new contract we put ourselves in the same position that we’ve had with Fraser and we’re having with Miggy where the club would like to sell, but he’s just been given a new contract so doesn’t have to go anywhere. Or can be really awkward and force thru a move to Southhampton.
@@GeordieJournos how’s he a one off? Isn’t that what we’ve done with Miggy, given him a new contract then try to sell him? So he can sit and choose his club and if the club don’t match the fee some club in Saudi Arabia or wherever does we either accept that and lose the fee or keep him. Some players can’t win, they get slagged off for going to Saudi Arabia or get slagged off by clubs fans if it suits them but not the player. The power is with the players if they have a decent contract. We couldn’t sell a lot of players so just had to agree to keep loaning them out until they were eventually out of contract.
I think characterising Mitchell’s job as responsible for transfers, is over simplistic. As Football Director, he should be, among other things, Howe’s boss. Still not sure why Eales hasn’t come out to put this nonsense to bed, it’s his job. Howe better answered the questions re his relationship with Mitchell in the last presser but didn’t shut down the issue entirely which would have been easy to do. Not too keen on his line ‘as long as l work at Newcastle…’ something he’s said more than once in the past few pressers - feels like a threat. Eales hasn’t screwed up big time allowing this situation to fester.
Callum Wilson's injury record is actually insane. I can't think of a single player who's as injury prone as that guy. So let me gets this strait - he was recovering from a back injury but while recovering from the back injury he picked up a hamstring injury?? FFS 🤣 Him never being available is really hampering us, and yes a fit Callum Wilson is a goal machine but I don't care anymore, he's never fit. We're having to rely on flogging Isak which in turn will injure Isak. Also regarding Wilson whenever he does come back it will only be a matter of time before he breaks down with another injury, and as you said its never one or two weeks, its always several weeks to months. He needs to hang up the boots and become a coach
Plenty of teams would like to have Longstaff, the thing is if and when he goes who would become the whipping horse. My money's on Murphy and Miggy till they go. Then probably Joe Linton.
Amazes me how a premier league club with aspirations of top 4 finish leave themselves in this position again did we not learn anything from last year these 2 can't be relied upon to stay fit all season the purchase of Osula is pointless in my eyes as we are no better off
Thought the national journos were typically sh*t stirring about Mitchell and Howe. Eddie dealt with it very well by saying he wasn't going to go there. Mr Hope is getting very tiresome hopefully he'll now move on
You can’t pretend that there’s not an issue there when Mitchell says he is speaking to Eddie all the time and Eddie says he hasn’t heard from him. Craig Hope isn’t making that up. For what it’s worth, I believe Eddie. I agree with you. I think he handled a difficult situation very well. He shouldn’t be put in the position where he has to though.
@@johnenglish929 I think the everyday contact was through the transfer window not now. Eddie confirmed last week that it was normal for them not to speak tgat regularly at this time of year. No-one ever asks TenHag if he speaks to Ashwoth do they. Sick of the national journos just looking for a story

I’d give longstaff a new contract to sell him , so we can upgrade, I’m not scapegoating longstaff as I’m the same with miggy and Murphy they just aren’t good enough to get us top 4/6 , I like longstaff and Murphy and miggy but they aren’t good enough for top 4
I dont feel for him. Lads absolutely stealing a living here. Bloke gets 70k a week to do a shite podcast and not play football. Must be tough for him, bless.

Went to school with Jordan still talking shite I see😉 joking mate keep it up, I can see Gordon starting up top with Barnes n Murphy on the wings, hope Osula gets some minutes
Easy to say when all games have been tight and there is nobody you want on the end of a shot more than Isak to win a game. You are just living in hindsight.
Have you actually watched us this season ? When has there been an opportunity to substitue a third choice striker without risking points. He cost £12m ! What do you get for that these days ? I’ll tell you. A third choice striker with potential. I would certainly play him at Wimbledon but would only bring him on at Fulham if we had the game completely sewn up by, say, 70 minutes and that is very unlikely.
Longstaff makes too many mistakes, he doesn't create chances, he doesn't tackle enough, isn't good and long passes, he's slow and doesn't track back, it is hard to see what he actually does. I think you guys only give him a pass cause he's Geordie. Had it been any other player you'd say something different.
😂 funny as Fcuk you two. Comedy duo, longstaff just shows your levels. Your talking about his energy etc, last season it was blamed on an injury, so is he still injured. If you chop the head off a chicken you get a longstaff. We know your reason. It’s cos he’s local lad, then you blow your lot saying better than Carroll ffs. We sold Carroll fit £30m all them years ago and I’m pretty sure you said he’s only £15m himself. 😂 your on par with Adam. Bet you slag off Miggy, tbf I don’t watch that many of your vids cos I just see kids with a camera

We should have moved Wilson on in the transfer window but surprise surprise we couldn't as he was injured again!
The fact that wilson was still here last January was utter lunacy. He's been a well paid passenger for over a year. Madness
Agree on Longstaff, played large periods of last season injured because the club only had three 'fit' midfielders.
Then what's his excuse this season for playing poorly?
He's just not very good mate
