The striker Owen wishes he could have been.

 

wat?

 

When Owen was his age he'd already been scoring the same amount of goals in the Premier League and looked like he'd be a genuine world class striker.

Owen never scored 20 league goals in a season.

Going to try a bit of positivity - from the sounds of things he is the type of player that Rafa likes to see leading the line.

 

So a year together with Rafa in the Championship and we would be returning to the Premier League with the English Fernando Torres.

is he about the same height as aguero?

 

Transfermarkt has them both at 1.73m. Think Aguero's probably a lot stronger though, particularly through the lower body. That's something Armstrong can easily work on.

It's hard to not get carried away when on YouTube every chance he gets, he scores, but the placement on most of his goals is absolutely top notch, Kane-esque almost.

 

Reminds me of how Owen used to play when he was at Liverpool. Really hope he does the business for us next season, and if Mitrovic stays, would be a great big man/little man combo.

I want them both to do well next season, but if Rafa stays I expect us to bring in a proven goal scorer.  We can't repeat the same mistake as this season which was all too predictable. Everyone saw the danger except the gormless cunts in charge of recruitment.

Forget the fact he's scored these goals in League 1 for a minute - the quality of his finishing is fantastic. In general terms, if you can finish with confidence and composure like he has been this season, you'll score goals at many other levels, too.

 

The one that stands out for me was Peterborough at home, 87th minute (?) at 2-2 and he does that. Incredible composure and outrageous skill.

 

I've got really high hopes for this lad.

We need to make sure that we dont put too much expectation on him, he's torn up League 1 but that might be his level, hopefully not though

Players tend to get better as they get older like

Sounds very promising. I do like a clinical finisher.

My mates watch him every week. All to a man say he's way too good for League 1. Most think he will tear up the Championship. Some think, even now, he'd score a good amount (10+) in the Premiership.
