‘Wow this is a shock’: Some Newcastle fans react to announcement on £18,000-a-week player

revealed, Longstaff rejected a new contract from Newcastle amidst the uncertainty.

However, the club eventually persuaded him to commit his future to the club, only to find him an odd loan move.

With all due respect to Aberdeen, a move to a side in the Championship would’ve been much better for Longstaff’s development.

Some Newcastle fans agreed, claiming that a move to West Brom he needs.

Now, Longstaff’s career has taken a turn which we don’t believe will be too helpful for him.

Nevertheless, let’s see what the Newcastle fans on Twitter have been saying about the club’s …

Hope it works well for him but what the hell is Shola Ameobi doing/thinking?! Surely he should be lining up a loan to a Premier League club or one in the Championship? Longstaff is still a better option than Hendrick & Shelvey, but might do him good to get away from Bruce

Strange move. Still think he should’ve been given more game time here ahead of Hendrick and the likes but I thought he would’ve went to the championship if he was going out on loan. Suppose it doesn’t matter too much as long as he gets game time.

We are so so so thick he’s literally our third best central midfielder

Ridiculous move to a sub standard league. Well done Shola

Long drawn out contract saga, convinced the lad to stay and then never played him, eventually send him out on loan. What’s even the point? I’d be fuming if I was Matty

Is this going to be another adam Armstrong situation?

Wow this is a shock.
Good for him though will play plenty and score plenty. Can see him going to Celtic or rangers in the future
