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 meant in terms of youth team achievements. 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. 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. How much have you watched of Campbell? 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.

Shays Given Tim Flowers Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Hopefully so. He really did used to have so much about him. His debut in pre-season he had so much vision and movement. He really should have been loaned instead of tagging along with the first team for a season. Feel this stopped his development big time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

This, along with a first team squad of players they have not been able to develop, deploy in the correct positions or generally manage. Useless.

Just seen this, I was 5'6" when I left school, I stopped growing when I hit 21 at 6'4" so I think depending on the person he has plenty of opportunity to grow yet.
