Longstaff would be a decent signing as long as he's not the only central midfielder we're trying to sign. I hope we get him and Stach, and sell Gruev
Agreed. Stach sounds a tricky deal to get done though from reports, may have to over pay, he has a lot of serious interest from some good clubs and 2 years left on his deal.
Mind you we heard that about Diarra and next minute he was at Sunderland who paid the money.. Stach is a toally different player to Longstaff, Stach is a ball winning 6, apparently he was in the top 1% in Europe for ball winning last season... that sort of calibre would be huge for us.
Can't see Gruev being here after end of Aug, i've liked the lad and he never lets us down but we need better. Tanaka will be good in the prem i think.. he's so good on the ball and has a real eye for space and his team mates.
