lappinitup 629 Posted October 5, 2020 Keith Azul @thechicoazul · 7h Norwich City, flush with cash from selling Godfrey to Everton, are working hard on the ambitious double swoop of Newcastle’s Matty Longstaff and Owen Bailey. Bailey will be permanent, Longstaff loan with option to purchase. No rush on this deal as window is 15th. KA. #NCFC #NUFC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KA. #NCFC #NUFC Just what we need: a central midfielder. 1 hour ago, KiwiScot said: Can anyone explain this "The international deadline scheduled for 11pm tonight wouldn’t apply unless Basel qualified for European competition" Does this mean clubs not qualfied for European Competition who have their windows still open can trade players? I guess it's a reference to the fact that the deadline for registering players for European competitions is tomorrow? So any club who signs a player after tomorrow can't use him in European competition. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Matty Longstaff though would be a really good signing. Full of energy, drives forward and scores goals. The Geordies love him but I cant see him getting much game time. His brother Sean is ahead of him in the pecking order and was linked to Man Utd last year. I would describe Matty as similar to Harrison Reed in stature but scores more goals. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Branston Pickle 3,638 Posted October 5, 2020 (edited) Thankfully there’s this on the NUFC site “Owen, who describes himself as an ‘old-fashioned centre-back’ arrived at the United Academy at the age of 7”. So we’d not need to worry about DM arguments.🙂 Edited October 5, 2020 by Branston Pickle Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alex Moss 2,165 Posted October 5, 2020 Todd to Newcastle = Longstaff to replace him, Bailey to replace Klose + a bit of cash. Simples. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Reminds me of a lot of years ago when I was a wee laddie and used to watch the reserves on a Friday night. We had a player called David Smith who had the strangest body length to leg length ratio I've ever seen. He used to spend his whole time going backwards. We used to go as a group and had a bet (sweets because I was under age for gambling 😉) about the furthest back pass he would do during a game, we used to shout wrong way every time he turned to goal. Those were the days 😂 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
