Deuce Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 On Armstrong, I think he's talented from what I've seen but with less 442 being played these days, short strikers have to be unbelievable to make it or they'll get shunted out to the wing. Should have a good career in League 1/Championship even if he doesn't make it in the PL Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HawK Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Never gonna make it, get rid, should be scoring easily for a Chmapionship club already, doesn't make a difference if he's scored 40 more league goals than Kane at his age, should have scored buckets for Barnsley and Bolton if he got 20 for Coventry, getting 20 for Coventry is easy even Shola could have done it, doesn't fit Rafa's system, he's a jawdie so everyone thinks he's better than he is.

Away Day Gadgie Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Hawk is mocking the people who weirdly seem overly keen to write off one of our young talents. I haven’t got an opinion either way at the minute, it’s still to early to tell how good he can be as far as i’m concerned. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He hasn't managed the step up for the chapmpionship yet. If he gets promoted with Blackburn, hopefully they'll want him again for next season and we can see how he does in a championship club which knows him and has more trust in him. Too early to get rid, what do we lose by keeping him on for a couple of seasons to see if he improves. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Adam Armstrong is one of our own and on fire. Give him the Dummett and Mitrovic treatment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infinitely Content Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 His second goal (I think) was an absolutely crushing finish like. He still looks like an u16s player playing with the grown ups, but he's doing the business like. We should let him leave to Southampton when they go down, for him then to sign for Blackburn, win the league with them and make his way back here afterwards. Seems to work a treat.

Paullow Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 You would think that after 2 successful loans in League One (Coventry, Blackburn) and 2 unsuccessful loans in the Championship (Barnsley, Bolton) that his level was around third tier, but he was played out wide a lot at Bolton and was in struggling sides both times. I'd like him to have one final season on loan next year to a Championship team, ideally one that's not just based upon surviving, and then assess where he is and where he is likely to end up. Blackburn may be a good option as with the likes of Dack, Mulgrew, Bennett and Graham they do have some decent players and I think they could be a bit like Sheff U next year and push towards the top half. Hope the lad has a good career, even if it is not here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twinport53 Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 He literally scored Barnsleys goal of the season whilst in the championship. The fact he takes the piss out of L1 defences shows he SHOULD be a capable midtable championship poacher at the very least. Not drossing around for relegation fodder on the wings.

ponsaelius Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 The problem is going from top of League One to bottom of the Championship might be a fairly incremental and reasonable step up for a young player to make on the face of it, but in reality it's quite difficult due to the circumstances. Particularly for a diminutive striker. You're going from a team who's going to dominate most games and make loads of chances to a side that's going to be packing the defence and probably shunt you onto the wing.

I think recent history shows that by and large, League one promotees do OK in their following season. The problem a young lad on loan often has is getting the trust of the team to include him and 'play him in'. I agree with a previous poster that said him sticking with Blackburn for next season if they go up would be a good thing as they already know and now trust him to deliver.

Mr Logic Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 Adam Armstrong made his England under-21s debut on Saturday. And the Newcastle striker set up the winning goal for Tammy Abraham as England left it late to claim victory against China. In the opening game of the Young Lions' Maurice Revello Toulon Tournament campaign, Middlesbrough defender Dael Fry had cancelled out Yan Dinghao’s first-half header. And in the 89th minute, Armstrong centred for Abraham to net the winner. Both Armstrong and his United team-mate Freddie Woodman played the whole game. Meanwhile, Adam Wilson started for England under-18s as they finished the Panda Cup with victory over Hungary under-19s on Sunday. He played for the opening 45 minutes, having been an unused substitute in a 1-0 loss to hosts China under-19s on Friday. Winger Wilson appeared as a late substitute in their tournament opener, a 2-2 draw against Uruguay last Wednesday. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
