It's an amount they won't pay, but £20million would easily be enough to get us Morgan Whittaker who would be an upgrade.

Whittaker only cost Middlesbrough £5m last month.

Would he really be an upgrade? Armstrong is far more established as a prolific scorer at Championship level than Whittaker.

He signed for Middlesbrough two weeks ago and his goal record isn't anywhere near as good as Armstrong's.

 

Doesn't mean we can't sign him in the summer.

Yes he would be. He got 2 goals less than Armstrong last season playing for a much worse side. Armstrong scored a lot but also missed a lot.

I think there's general agreement about AA's level. Not PL, yes Champ including goals, assists and misses.

Next season we'll be in the division where he has success. I hope he stays. 

All this planning ahead for after our next promotion is a bit too much whatiffery. I think we'll need players we can rely on next season and AA is right up there.

Or keep Armstrong, sell for £10-15m if promoted next season and spend £30m on a PL-level striker. Whittaker is no Morgan Rogers.
