Hasn't scored in almost 4 months. Not sure how much of that is a reflection of Coventry's nosedive since then.

That's exactly what it is. They have a set of owners worse than Ashley. Word on the street is, they didn't want to pay a higher rent to Wasps Rugby Football Club, the owners of the Ricoh, which would have happened with promotion . However Coventry City supporters are notorious for their Hans Christian Andersen impersonations.

I don't understand most of those references but I'm glad to hear it's not necessarily anything wrong with the kid. :lol:

Looking forward to seeing Arma, as shit as relegation is, it's perfect for him.

He's a classy player. We should be building the side around him.

 

Based on 19 goals in League One, really?

 

You've seen him and I haven't so I'll defer, but it seems like a pretty strong statement based on tenuous evidence.

Only 19 goals in the end then? He had that many halfway through the season.

 

Missed a few towards the end, away with England U19's and injured for a bit too.

 

He can be part of our squad, but we really shouldn't be repeating this season's mistake of relying on unproven strikers based on their potential. Every other club in the championship can do the same. We came back up last time because we held onto our core PL players.

Aye but the core players this time have nothing about them. And if your ever going to try a kid with potential, the Championship is a perfect place. He's proven with 19 for Coventry he's got something about him and no doubt Championship clubs would have wanted him on loan for next season.

 

You're right though, we need a proven striker too. With 46 games you can rotate as you see fit to give Armstrong plenty of game time.

When Mitro signed everyone was saying flog Cisse and even then it seemed daft to rely on unproven premier players. As it turns out Cisse hasn't delivered either, but the principle still holds - you need proven goalscorers at that level if you want to succeed.

Aye but you wouldn't have said Carroll and Lovelyhands were proven at the time and they scored loads in the Championship, i do know what you mean but you'll never try a kid if you adopt the attitude you are.

 

Leicester just won the League with players like Kante and Okazaki who were unproven Premier players. Good scouting matters and we don't have that at all, hence us buying wrong players.

Lovenkrands was pretty much a proven goalscorer at lower levels like. Carroll was a real surprise I'll grant you that. In any case if Rafa stays I trust him to do what's needed. He'll definitely make sure there's a striker who can put them away as part of his team. Unfortunately I'm less certain he'll stay than I was a week ago.
