Marek Hamsik is about to sign a contract with Swedish club IFK Göteborg.

 

He's still canny based on the playoff against Ireland in October. Any background to this or completely out of the blue?

Would have been far better option to have around than Joelinton, Gayle, Muto, Joselu in hindsight

 

Like Toney, he doesn’t develop the way he has if he’d have stayed and not got games though.

 

Should have stuck in a few clauses for any future sale, or buy back. Scored goals in Championship when he was out on loan, so would have been obvious to think he’d get PL interested as soon as he had a bumper season down there like he has done.

He's still only 24? Somehow thought he was older already. Yeah sad it didn't work out, feel he got hyped a bit early so got sent out on loan quite early and then difficult to keep him since he wanted and was used to first team football elsewhere.

Rafa let Toney, Armstrong and Mbabu go without really giving any of them enough of a chance imo. Armstrong went on loan to Cov in league one 2015-16 and scored 20 in 40. Would've made sense to have him around the team in the Championship the following season.

Armstrong and Toney would have needed to be played ahead of Gayle and Mitrovic, both of whom scored regular when played. There’d have been uproar. It was just a circumstance of time.

 

Really don’t know why it’s an ongoing issue. The Chronicle are absolutely fixated with it too.

Yeah Armstrong would have been 3rd choice at best in the Championship, good that he went out on loan.

 

Quite interesting that he's only really played well under Tony Mowbray so far in his career

:thup:

 

Young players don’t show much at the top but later develop given playing time against inferior competition. Happens to every club. Neither Armstrong nor Toney were PL quality (or even Championshop quality at that time) when they played for us and we weren’t exactly going to keep them on the books until they figured it out.

He’s still a top class player. Wants to stay fit for the Euro 2021 in the summer and has signed a contract for 17 games.

Been class. Was one of my favourite players before he joined City and my opinion has only grown of him during his time at City. An absolutely fantastic goalscorer and all round player.

If he could stay fit for a full season, his record would be obscene. He's such a good footballer.
