2024/25 Harrison Armstrong

If he played for Liverpool or say arsenal he would
Have jumped 2 levels and be in the under 20’s

While there is a clear bias against us, I do believe they handled their youth system better. When the reds had mass injuries under Klopp, they were willing to stick the young guys into the team instead of going our route and inserting straight filler into the team like we were. You could argue they had talent to compensate and carry their youth, but that is part of the problem with us.

Also, we kept guys like Unsworth around for far too long. I don't even believe he was a poor coach but he clearly was not preparing them for the league as they should have been. I feel like we need to just start getting it right. Get good talent in and be willing to play them- get them a good coach to prepare them

Harrison Armstrong is the only player we have in the England U19, U18 and U17 squads.

We have to do better.

Thought maybe u17 a couple might have got in

For the record I don't want to sell him. I like him. If Moyes isn't lying then something needs doing on PSR. We don't know how big a number that is. Yes I've foolishly underestimated his demand & over estimated Derby's budget with a 'creative' idea but come end of season we have a very small list of players left & one of them needs selling (again, if true). That list gets even smaller of the players we would either want to sell or reluctantly sell. He’s on that small list.

This PSR thing could be the blockage before we are allowed to spend & we have a massive summer coming up. Short term he is the easiest, least painful to the immediate first team sale we could make. Patterson, Beto etc is a much harder sell to other clubs & Branthwaite really hurts us. Selling Branthwaite short to beat a deadline ala Richarlison would cause riots.
Patterson is the obvious one that if it could be done swiftly & early & covers whatever the PSR number is then wahoo, brilliant but this is Everton & nothing is easy.

Long term it would probably hurt us selling Armstrong but this coming window is more important than a current non first team player.

Or...

Win every game left, finish about 6th, the improved league finish position money would cover a prospect player sale?

Looks a player. Be interesting to see what we do with him next season.

 

[AsiaAsia82]

Hopefully a loan in Europe next season

Not something I'd look into too heavily. Armstrong himself was uncapped this time last year. Its very cliquey

 

[f.t.r.s]

I'd like to see him gradually introduced into the first team next season, coming on for tired legs in the league...
Rotated in against weaker sides, cup games etc

 

[sanctioned]

Hopefully a loan in Europe next season

think this would be wise judging how well it went for branthwaite, good to go into an intense environment with a slightly lower level of play than the prem. Being abroad also builds a bit of character and might encourage different habits from the English system.

He is going to come back and compete for a place next year. I like him

And our midfield isn't exactly brimming with quality so he should get plenty of game time if given a proper chance by moyes

Peach of a goal!
