Frazzle Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 I think Armstrong is a lot more talented than Campbell though. Doesn't matter if he is or not, if he's not played he won't improve and won't reach his potential. In terms of achievement, Campbell eclipses most all of our young players for a while now.

Wat Sameobi, Aarons and Dummett have all made the first team and Armstrong is pushing for a place. Campbell's been on loan in Scotland and a few lower league teams in the north.

I know Armstrong has got caps and goals for England youth team but Campbell was winning player of the tournament in every tournament he played for a bit and looked our young player with the most potential.

Doesn't matter if he is or not, if he's not played he won't improve and won't reach his potential. In terms of achievement, Campbell eclipses most all of our young players for a while now. I don't think we really could afford to give TWO young striker enough play time for development, especially when there's Ayoze. I got your point, that's why I was shouting for Vuckic a few years ago. But this doesn't apply to Campbell imo. Campbell failed mostly because he is "comparatively" not good enough, from the limited time on the pitch. Armstrong's touch and football sense are a lot better and he deserves to get the limited play time left out by Cisse and Ayoze. Campbell has to prove his value on loan - like Dummett - and if he failed, that's it. This does not relate to whether Pardew is the manager or not.

Aye, that's the point --- you believe Campbell has the most potential, I don't. I rate Ayoze and Armstrong higher for the same position. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Campbell has to prove his value on loan - like Dummett - and if he failed, that's it. This does not relate to whether Pardew is the manager or not. Campbell is two years older than Armstrong though. He should've been in the first team squad after the European season but he just dropped off the face of the earth. If he had been given chances to prove himself and hadn't made it I would say fair enough but he hasn't been given a chance IMO. If he had proved himself on loan he probably would've been given more chances, true, but our loans seem terribly thought out to me. Campbell was strongly linked to Brighton for a loan a few years ago (not the sort of rumour that gets made up) but we ended up sending him to Carlisle and St Mirren, wtf. Most FL clubs are managed by dinosaurs, if your playing style suits a team playing football then you'll probably never succeed (see Vuckic as well). There must be plenty of players who've done nowt on loan but still carved out decent PL careers. Carroll being on that springs to mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Armstrong has been given the odd first team chance so you will have seem him, unless you've watched them in youth team games its difficult to compare them.

Dave Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 Hard not to think that if he was taller he'd have had more of a chance here. Pardew really is that simple. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TruToon94 Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 It is ludicrous to be able to judge a player on 16 matches as not being good enough for any standard TBH. If he had played full seasons in the lower leagues and Scotland and scored nothing I'd understand but he's barely playing. What he needed was from 17-20 to have full seasons on loan playing 30 matches a season, as it stand it's way too late now for a player who clearly had potential.

Doug Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 I went to the Nuneaton game to see his debut. He hit the post a minute into the second half and should have had a hat trick. However despite his goals he was eclipsed performance wise by the other Toon debutant on the day Callum Roberts who was constantly on the ball and skinning his markers at will everytime he had it. He is only small aswell but at 17 he may grow another 6" yet. definitely one for the future. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would hope he has not stopped growing yet especially with the fitness and diet regimes these lads are on. Also can you kindly stop using big words that I can't understand, Acromegaly WTF.
