Guest Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 Some posted it earlier but it has shades of Defoe at Bournemouth at a similar age. 20+ goals in that division will do him and us more good in the long term than coming here as a sub with the pressure of having to try and win us games from the bench. Our biggest weakness for years has been how we've handled academy products, we seem to have got it right this time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beren Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 Happy for him but the seasoned cynic in me knows he'll get a season long injury the moment he steps off the train at Newcastle station. Quite happy for him to be our Joel Campbell for now as unless he's physically changed dramatically he's not cut out for the Prem, given his style of play (whereas Ayoze has the technique, style and skill to compensate for being fairly meek). Would rather Armstrong came back with strong self belief than have it crushed quickly upon his return. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lush Vlad Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 Let him stay the whole season there. Let him get 25-30 somewhere he's settled imo. Don't recall or move him to a Championship club. Fully agree. Said similar to a mate the other day that was trying to advocate bringing him back. Let him have the full season at Coventry and he'll hopefully keep scoring and help get them promoted. Then see what our options are next season. Maybe look to loan him to another Championship club, or back to Coventry, assuming they go up. He could be playing for us in the Championship, mind Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToonTastic Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 Question is do you then not purchase a striker in the winter window to allow him to progress next season or buy a striker meaning he probably loses any chance of pushing for a first team spot.

Still sign a first choice striker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 Perhaps if we've gone on a Pardew-esque good run and put 7 wins together, we can leave a striker out and just look to bring in midfield and defensive players. But I reckon we'll be in the shit and need players right down the spine again. This time, preferably seasoned pro's. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToonTastic Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 Then we have to accept chances are he won't ever get a chance at the club Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 Not really. We have 0 proven PL strikers at the club that we want to keep. Having 4 decent strikers, with some rotation could work. I wouldn't mind us signing Adebayor in January for 6/18 months. We need a short term solution up front. It would be night night for De Jong. However, I do think we'll bring Armstrong back in January and we'll look to him to get us the goals. No striker. Relegation battle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lovejoy Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 Then we have to accept chances are he won't ever get a chance at the club I agree with what you're saying, but its highly likely we'll sell ayoze next summer and armstrong will replace him, knowing these fuckers.

Ikon Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 Our strikers are fine, and they will prove it very soon. It would help if we had more width and better service from the wide positions as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 We need someone to come in and hit the ground running within 5 months. If we don't get Austin - i'd go for Adebayor as a short term solution. If we're comfortable there will be no need. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 And we're pretty much only playing with one striker. Cissé needs to be replaced though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 If we were to bring in a striker i would much rather like to see someone in the mould of Remy. Play that striker next to Mitro with Perez behind. Austin is not the perfect choice imo. Especially not fucking Adebayor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would help if we had more width and better service from the wide positions as well. Strikers at our club have managed... 4 league goals? Unless there's an improvement in goals soon, we'll need reinforcements. I agree - strategically we need to play at a higher intensity to create better chances. However, someone like Cisse usually has 1 clear cut chance a game because his instincts in the box are superior to these lads from what i've seen so far.

Just someone that can score goals at this level. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 They will prove their worth, Mitro and Perez. Even though Perez plays more like an attacking midfielder since we have no one in the centre even near being able to do what he can. CM, CB and LB should be our priorities. Yes we need another striker, but not to replace Mitro. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sho Time Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 Adebayor would be as much use to us as Riviere, he's a good player still but his attitude seriously hinders his ability to play the game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 With Wijnaldum and Sissoko out wide we're never gonna get the width that we should have. Personally i think we need 4 players in now in january (wont happen) A LB, CB, DM and a striker. I would go 4-3-1-2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good idea - agreed. yep. Let the lad get confidence and further develop. Go down and he will be in the squad no doubt. Stay up and we can bank on selling someone (hopefully Cisse and not Perez). He can then replace in the squad or have further short loan. Lad looks like a genuine prospect. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixelphish Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 Lot of affection for Coventry so might be slightly bias. Regardless I think it's pretty clear he needs to stay there all season. Scoring for fun and playing without pressure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
