Marmoset Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 He's 19. May or may not be good enough one day. All there is to say really. Would prefer him to go somewhere and get regular games, even if it is league one. There's no rush to stick him in the first team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

morla84 Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Good news, get him back in Jan and hopefully be doing well enough to give him games toward the end of the season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
afar Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 I guess Barnsley aren't expecting to keep up their good start ? Wonder if the same rules apply in the champ as they do in the PL to players not being able to play against their parent club ? If so, rafa could be trying a Chelsea and loaning out for him to nick goals against our promotion rivals. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Figures 1-0 Football Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Will be interested to see how he does, win-win for us really as he'll be ineligible to play against us but could smash some goals in against our rivals. Pleased to see he's at a Championship club and likely to play regularly, step up from last year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tubestationatmidnight Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Well let's see what he does there! If he is going to be good enough to make it for us in the premiership surely he would be starting and scoring goals at this level now Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bimpy474 Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Loaning him out is good for his development, loaning him to a direct rival (right now they are) is a bit chancey. Still hope he does really well though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tubestationatmidnight Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Carroll was scoring in the championship at not much older than Armstrong. Vardy has always banged goals in he just started at a non league club rather than a premiership academy. If he is going to be good enough to be a premiership striker then surely he should do well in the championship this season or will he be another chopra/ Adam Campbell etc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
number9shirt Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Really disappointed with with this move. I would rather give Adam game time over Murphy & even Ayoze. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bimpy474 Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Really disappointed with with this move. I would rather give Adam game time over Murphy & even Ayoze. I agree but i would say his game time here would be limited by Gayle and Mitro. At a guess, it's more about giving him as much game time as possible, and the best scenario is playing for Barnsley for that to happen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Really disappointed with with this move. I would rather give Adam game time over Murphy & even Ayoze. Sorry but that's just horeshit, prefer him to Perez? And as for Murphy, well they are two entirely different players. Murphy is here to be back up for Mitrovic and another big lad - nothing like Armstrong. This moves makes sense, his game time will be limited as he will rightfully be behind Gayle and Perez. He did well last season in League 1 and this will be a good test to see if he can bang them in at the next level. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mighty__mag Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Goals per minute I think he will finish higher than what we have. Daft move, hope he can be recalled at any point. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufc4eva Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Goals per minute I think he will finish higher than what we have. Daft move, hope he can be recalled at any point. Gayle will end up top scorer in this league tbh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holloway Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Could be a smart move this, fires them to playoff position then comes back in January to challenge our strikers for top goal scorer and collect his championship winners medal Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gayle will end up top scorer in this league tbh Not if he gets injured. Armstrong just has to show what he can do, if he establishes himself in the first 11 like he did at Coventry, then there's no reason why he shouldn't get some goals. It's actually a good move for him, because he can prove to Benitez now that he can do the business, if he can get in their side. Can only wish him the best, if he's not in contention here.

triggs Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Hope he does well but I fear he's never going to get a chance here no matter how well he does Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
