2024/25 Harrison Armstrong

[MaximusEvertonius]

I agree about Armstrong maybe turning out to be that guy. Like what we’ve seen so far. Like to see him get starts over Doucoure with Doucs coming on late match. Same with starting Jake and using Ashley as a sub. Needs to start becoming a shift to the next gen.

And we had to sell Tom Cannon for PSR purposes (pure profit)

Yes after being badly run - our new owners need to review bad practices in our c.un in their 100 day review - signing a 39 year old as an example!

….a loan doesn’t necessarily mean more game time. Barkley struggled for games when he went out.

You go with the better odds. The more experience the better. If he is the talent people think he is, let him fight for minutes where he could possibly get them. If Moyes has no intention of playing him, loan him. You can't not do something just because of the potential of failure. They don't all work out as seen with Broja

 

[Osamabindiesel]

Simms had an excellent loan. Lookman had an excellent loan at RB. Dowell had an excellent loan until the manager changed. Just because some failed doesn't mean you dismiss the idea entirely. We can either prop him up for sale or get him experience. Sitting on them is probably the worst thing we can do. I think Moyes doesn't really have an excuse to not give him some minutes but he might think otherwise. Up to the manager.

….the key thing here is the lad was 18 literally days ago. Much too early to be even contemplating a loan imo.

A young Colin Harvey & ala Joe Royle would have been sold under the old regime .... our problem is our ageing squad no one wants them - we can't off load high salary players....

send him on loan to one of preston, wigan, bolton, stoke, blackburn, blackpool, burnley, tranmere, fleetword

unfortunately our loan manager is not very inventive and very predictable

To get kicked to bits - no thanks - get him in our team more like Doucs is appalling atm....

If you're good enough, age does not matter unless you're an OAP in our first team ....

Mate you’ve just brought a big smile to the face of @Eggs by suggesting that our brightest prospect for years should be loaned out to League 2 teams Fleetwood and Tranmere who are currently in a relegation battle, proving to his satisfaction that some loans can be bonkers!

Remember when we sent Gordon to Preston and he barely played and they didn’t rate him

Branthwaite at Blackburn too, got dropped after about 3 games and scapegoated by whatever dinosaur manager they had at the time. I’m sure Warnock at Middlesbrough did it with one of our youngsters too and berated them publicly, can’t remember who it was.

Tony Mowbray was the manager. I’ve got a mate who played under him, and said he was horrendous to deal with. Has his favourites and was weak when anyone had a straight conversation with him.

Barkley at Leeds I think.
