Tiotes Witch Doctor Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Think he looks dross to be honest, how long was left on his current deal? Might it not have been a good idea to see if he can cut it in the championship first before signing him up on a long term contract, let alone the prem.

SEMTEX Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Signed a new 4 year deal Rash decision. Gayle and Mitro will probably only be out for a week. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
triggs Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Thought he was good when he came on against Fulham, hope he starts Saturday Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leazes1986 Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 He's 19 man. How can anyone question this decision? Even if he's not ready for this league yet, he's 19. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiotes Witch Doctor Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 To be fair I've had a mare with this one, still don't rate him highly from what I've seen for us but thought he was 21 or 22, how the fuck did I miss that? I thought he was 19 when he started getting on the bench for us a couple of seasons ago. Still a fair bit of time to tell I suppose. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

xLiaaamx Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Actually might not mind him being the out and out striker. Whenever he's come on as a number 10 for us he hasn't looked good though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Good news Get him on a years loan in the Championship and evaluate next summer. Do worry about his lack of height/strength though. I like him as a player and think if he improves his strength and hold up play against centre backs, he's got the pace and movement to be a success here. A year in the Championship getting regular football would do him the world of good and if he gets that, we can re evaluate next summer and see what our striking options are; if we're still in the Championship (God forbid) he might end up as one of our first choice options.

Optimistic Nut Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Ian DennisVerified account @Iandennisbbc Newcastle United announce Adam Armstrong has signed a new 4 year deal #NUFC --- DH @SmarProcurement 37m37 minutes ago @Iandennisbbc nothing like an obsession with the mags Ian. How many other championship squad players do you tweet about their new contracts? --- Ian Dennis @Iandennisbbc 9m9 minutes ago @SmarProcurement Strange. One #nufc suggests I've not tweeted about them for a long time. I think it's you who has the obsession... No guesses as to who DH supports. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we keep sending him on loan he's never going to get a chance. We have 46 games plus cup games as well, we should be looking to give him a decent chance before we send him out on loan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im just a bit confused by loaning him out for a year in the championship- we are in the championship? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Aye but I can't see him getting regular game time here. Gayle, Mitro, Perez and probably a new signing will be in front of him meaning his opportunities would be limited to cameo sub appearances on the wing. Think if he goes to a lower Championship team he'll be looking at 25-30 games a season which I can't see him getting anywhere near if he stays here. Could be wrong but that's just the way I see it.

SEMTEX Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 I mean, he could play this weekend? He's already in a position to get an opportunity and we're only two minutes into the season. He needs to take his opportunity and run with it though. Time for him to step up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not afraid to come deep and get the ball, could open up space for Perez/Ritchie to exploit. Or send a screamer into the far corner. I say start the lad on Saturday, If we can control the game as we did on Tuesday for 20-30 mins, letting him get settled, I think he could rise to the challenge.

TRon Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 Good news Get him on a years loan in the Championship and evaluate next summer. Do worry about his lack of height/strength though. He looks to me to be more about movement and finishing, it's quite conceivable he could play off a target man rather than do that role himself.

Jayson Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 He'll need time, its a bit much to give him a single start and expect goals. He'll need to build confidence at this level & understanding with the others. He's young, how many instantly step up at 19? Carroll didnt, Kane didnt, not everyone is a Rooney/Owen who peak early.
