If Notts fails to get promoted, then I would say it only benefits clubs who are seeking a potential goalscorer. He might give us another season, and the club might sell him to reinvest. There's no guarantee that he won't be sold if we do gain promotion to League Two. Just as we can only speculate that he will want to move if we don't. Nobody knows, but I think it's likely that we may get a bit longer, like a season and a half. From there, I wouldn't like to say, but he's a good player, and I can see him being an asset to any team from League One to the Championship. He might make it to the Premier League, but I can't see him making that move without further proving himself first.

This is another excellent discussion filled with heaps of useful information. It's great! Everyone who has posted has given an articulate response which makes it very enjoyable to read. I think you have to take the mix when it comes to things like this. Obviously, nobody wants to lose a good striker, especially after all the woeful ones the club has had, but at the same time it's natural. I think the answer will only be known for sure once events unfold. If you're a glass-half-full person, you may see the benefits. If you're a glass-half-empty person, well, you may be more worried. I think the club is in safe hands, but it would be nice to see Langstaff stick it out for another season.

I would be surprised if Langstaff agreed to sign an extension this summer, seeing as he will still have 2 years left on his contract already, but I may be wrong. I would also be surprised if there isn't a release clause in his contract, given that he had one at Gateshead.

Yes, I know, but whilst a player is enjoying his football, that gives you the best position to see a player extend their stay. I would have hoped that Notts would have foreseen that Macaulay Langstaff would become a very important player. Halfway into his two-year deal would be a good time to talk extensions, but if I ran the club, I would be trying to secure the best of our squad members for the long term as early as possible.
