SuperSAINT Posted 3 August, 2019 Share Posted 3 August, 2019 Imagine if it is a 30m fee at the end of the season. That would be huge. Maybe we can set up something similar with Upamecano if Arsenal are not in for him. Think we’d be happy with our money back at this stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antrimsaint Posted 3 August, 2019 Share Posted 3 August, 2019 I've always thought that Armstrong is an asset to the side. Unspectacular, unfashionable but does the simple stuff well and effective. I'd want us to make space for him to at least be available off the bench. Dare I say Steven Davis Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Useful Idiot Posted 4 August, 2019 Share Posted 4 August, 2019 Dare I say Steven Davis Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Only completely different. Davis' main strong points for us were that he always played with his head up, he rarely lost possession and he managed to keep the ball in tight areas then move it on to someone else. He was generally reluctant to shoot and tended to take an extra touch and thus lose the chance to have a shot. His first touch was decent and he got through most of his work in the middle areas of the pitch. Armstrong tends to play with his head down. This means that he can to be slow to make decisions which means he loses the ball far more frequently. He has a powerful shot and tries to shoot early, often going for first time efforts. He takes players on by knocking the ball past them or trying a one-two. He mostly plays out wide for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VectisSaint Posted 4 August, 2019 Share Posted 4 August, 2019 Nice to see links, but taking a player on loan for a season to develop him for another team doesn't seem like something we would do. But bringing in an u21 on loan gives Ralph the opportunity to strengthen without having to shift anyone out of the 25 man squad. Thing is, is he better than Klarer, not really a fan of very young CBs, experience e is all important in that position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Useful Idiot Posted 4 August, 2019 Share Posted 4 August, 2019 It might be if it’s the only way to strengthen due to financial reasons. Our financial problems seem to be more related to wages than transfer fees; if 3 players are leaving that should help matters a bit. Saying that, this guy seems to be on about £5k/week so wouldn't make much of a dent in our budget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

verlaine1979 Posted 4 August, 2019 Share Posted 4 August, 2019 The whole 'we don't develop players for other clubs' attitude was from a different era, when we were debt free and had a reasonable amount of financial clout compared to our size and status in the league. If the club's financial position really is as stricken as various mouthpieces insist we must believe, then we can't afford to be high-minded about using any means at our disposal to improve the squad, even if it's just temporarily.

What's this debt you talk of? Back to the topic, if the kid is an upgrade then a loan makes sense, but any CB we sign surely has to be 1st team ready. A19y/o CB has to be very very good to step into a Premier league team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you’re perfectly capable of being a sophist. The cash flow facility has been in place since our return to the PL in one form or another.
