Figures 1-0 Football Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 The only times I've ever seen the lad in a Newcastle shirt, he has looked absolutely dogshit. But they were under a crap manager(s) in crap situations in crap games. Will be interested to see if Rafa rates him if he stays, as I absolutely trust his judgement. Personally after watching a few Cov games this season, I think he's probably found his level with Cov. Would love to be wrong like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was also about 17 or 18 in those appearances man ffs At 16/17/18 in reserve matches (or 'development squad' whatever it is called) and first team cameos you can get a pretty good idea of someone who isn't good enough. Our problem over the years is that we've hung onto these idiots and hoped they'd eventually 'come good' (Saylor, Ameobi 1, Ameobi 2 etc). From what I've seen of him, he'll do okay in the Championship/League 1. I just do not think he'll ever make it as a Premier League player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playing him off Mitro could be a good combination imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelveys Hair Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 This lad will fire us back to the Prem, top scorer next season ...and then probably get sold to Liverpool for £35 million Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 I think he suits the type of striker Rafa is supposed to like. Youth, potential and a year in the Championship with Rafa could create the English Fernando Torres. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky for him we're in the Championship now then. Fraser Forster looked fucking terrible playing in our reserves and Krul looked much better but look at them now. Same as Andy Carrol, he never looked all that and certainly not premier league class. Armstrong is 19 and just scored 20 goals in league 1 I n 40 games, not bad tbf. So he didn't impress when Pardew brought him on at 17/18. He has pace, good touch, movement and a good shot in and out of the area by looks of him. Needs games and now should be his time. Hope him, Sterry, Mbabu and Aarons are developed this year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Would you send him to League One though, and then expect him to be useful in the PL the year after? Edit: actually forget he's still only 19. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

madras Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 The fact is he's not good enough. Yet, possibly. He's a kid who shows lots of promise. I remember watching Lascalles early last season and he looked slow, bad decisions and poor on the ball, now he's possibly our captain and seemingly one of a handful of starters. In fact, the fact is there are few facts about kids who aren't the finished article. FACT! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Will be loaned out the minute we sign another striker. Could loan him to another championship side and have a clause that he can't play against us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
