He's 23, came through West Ham's youth system, played 23 games in Championship in 22/23, 17 games last season.
Transfermarkt values him at £1m, so that must be wrong. From a Birmingham forum...... "Barnsley are a very decent league one side. Yet, half of their defence next season wil be Longelo and Roberts. But still people say we shouldn't expect to piss the league" They do appear very sure of themselves. Be nice to see them crash
Brum fans aren't too bothered about him leaving' apparently they seem to think he's neither a defender nor a winger' i imagine he's a make weight with styles going the other way' we just need to get behind him and see what happens.
Wonder what number he is on out list bet he,s not no 1.taken us 3 months to arrive at somebody’s cast off.
Guess what Brum fans are reading from most of our lot re Styles. I'm in the bags of ability camp if he gets his head sorted.
He's doesn't want to play LWB and doesn't want to play for this club. He's made that abundantly clear. Happily swap him for an actual LWB that wants to play that position and more importantly wants to play for this club
Given the experience of both players I would hazard a guess that Birmingham may be offering cash plus Longelo if they want Styles. I have no inside info on this but just speculating at this point.
Plenty of fans on X seem disappointed he's going. Think he'll be great at this level. Seen plenty of question marks over his defensive ability but going forward sounds like he's an exciting player. Pacey which is something we lack.
He's running out of options. Unless we loan him out again on a try before you can have him for free deal, which is no good for us.
