khay Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 But that’s the thing, he will get his chance now. People complain about loaning other clubs players and Chelsea that keep theirs for years. If he is good enough he will make his way to the top. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sbnufc Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 No I'm not comparing any of these in terms of ability to Armstrong, just a list of some players from last season younger than him Kyle Walker-Peters Richarlison Joe Gomez Renato Sanches Ainsley Maitland-Niles Gabriel Jesus Dominic Solanke Tammy Abraham Marcus Rashford Timothy Fosu-Mensah Tom Davies Declan Rice They're just the obvious names who start games, the list of 100 I've seen are all players in matchday squads. Armstrong can't get near to our matchday squad and our (main) strikers are awful. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thenige Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 To be fair given he was trained at our academy he's most likely to be shit. But yeah, given he's an England U21 international and the fact players like Harry Kane only really broke through for their clubs at 21, seems a bit early to be flogging him on.

I don’t particularly rate him but he’s got to be a better option than those clowns. He can be worse, and he must be worse (despite having age on his side). He's been a senior for over 4 years now and has done nothing in a Newcastle shirt nor has he particularly excelled in the Championship when out on loan there. Done well in League One but that's about it. I don't want to judge him too harshly given the small amount of times he's actually appeared for us, but personally I didn't see anything good about him. He's supposedly quick and has good feet, but so do a lot of lads in parks & on 5-a-side pitches, there's a lot more you need to become an effective player at a high level. Joselu & Gayle are obviously much better equipped despite both of their deficiencies. Think about this too, he's been a senior for over 4 years, during which many different coaches have been at our club, none of which have fancied having him around the first team for more than the odd friendly or sub appearance and the rare start. There has to be a reason for that. I'm not being purposefully critical of him, just reasonable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a world where Mike Ashley needs money from player sales to OK buying, not really. Still a nonsensical sale. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infinitely Content Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 Can't believe Newcastle fans are arguing for basically giving away a player in these days anyway. So weird. What's weird about not really minding that a player who has shown nothing to suggest he's up to this level is being moved on? Was it weird to you when Romain Amalfitano was moved on for next to nothing too? Because I don't see why this is any different just because it's Adam Armstrong. Have you also considered that maybe he wants to move, too? It would be a smart decision if it was the case that he preferred to move and settle somewhere rather than returning to NUFC every year uncertain of where his future lies, similar in a way to Atsu at Chelsea before moving permanently to us.
