Its pretty moot, as you say, hes gonna stay at Saints, but lets be honest, its unlikely he was coming here anyway.He was my shout from last week and I got slaughtered for it.
But there was a good explanation in commentary yesterday about his time in the PL last time compared with this season in the Championship: he hit less than 20% of his shots inside the box in PL appearances, while this season he's been told to get forward more and he's shot twice as much from inside the 18 yard box - something like 40% of his efforts in the box.
Of course the PL has superior defences, but I'd like to see us get hold of Armstrong and pair him with Beto or Chermiti. No doubt he'll stay at Southampton now, but I bet Dyche would love to have the option of going to a two up front next season with a similar player and finish off more of the chances we create.
We currently have 4 Strikers, now im sure you dont rate any of them, cos I only rate 1, but if we want more Strikers, we need to get rid of the 1s we have first.
And Dyche had ample chances to play 2 Strikers last season and he only ever played 1.
