I was surprised he was allowed to leave, as he seemed to be getting in the first team squad

 

I wasn't, as he'd failed to break through in the three years he was on the fringes and we were in L1 and the Championship. He showed signs of improvement just before he went though, stopped hitting every pass with the outside of his foot, floating them all, and started sidefooting stuff with more pace and accuracy.

Reeves looked class can we buy him back with some of our war chest looks far better value than Long!

 

Long was very good last night, busting a gut up and down the wing, much more support for Pelle through the middle, and some superb skill too.

Throw in some running and leaving the ball behind, standing on the ball and not making much space off the ball and he really is the complete player! ;)

He did that, what, once? He also did twelve million quids worth of ridiculous dummy, excellent entertainment.

Henry, Ronaldinho, Messi and Ronaldo all seem OK doing it pretty often? :rolleyes:

 

Ronaldinho's the only one I've seen doing it more than a handful of times and there are different variations of no-look pass. Hell, even Ben Reeves set up a goal with one last night, it still wasn't on a par with Long's one. Long was in full flight with a rolling ball - most of them which are performed with a stationary or slow-moving ball and standing player.

You know I'm joking, right?

 

I thought Long had a very good second half...

Likewise. He looked really assured in the games I saw him play, all be it I think they were in the league cup against lower placed opposition. I've seen less of Reed, but until now he hasn't seemed better than Reeves. It will be interesting to see how both careers develop.
