Kenny Foggo 1,116 Posted August 5, 2021 Would love to see Armstrong here but already being denied by the club. Exactly the sort of player we should be signing. Reckon he'll end up at Southampton as they'll pay the money and wages necessary. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We really need to start making and sealing bids as Frake definitely expects more.... he is saying it publically Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Indy 3,301 Posted August 5, 2021 (edited) Can’t say I’m bothered, much rather see Idah give if we can’t do better than Armstrong for that price! Edited August 5, 2021 by Indy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Agreed, I think he could be our next big one with the way he has kicked on in preseason. Last seasons injury setback delayed his development a bit but he is beginning to look a real handful. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

To be fair that part did sound like nonsense. Just don't see Webber or Farke wanting such a deal, nevermind at the same time as Hugill and Pukki being off with Covid and Idah being our current only fit striker and all..

All this talk of loaning him out must be nonsense. Surely we would have done it last year if at all. I think Farke rates him and he's staying here 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Indy 3,301 Posted August 5, 2021 I have to agree with all comments above, Idah looks to have progressed and is holding the ball up superbly brings others into the game and his movements in the box superb. He’s got the potential to be a monster! Omobamdele looks so calm on the ball, he reads the game really well, something which is rare for such a young player. Both can have a massive impact for us. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Good another Rhodes, great in lower leagues but won’t make the cut in the top flight. We shall see but £20 odd million is about 13 million too much! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Blackburn will surely accept anything. Sounds like they’ve had to as with just one year left Blackburn did not hold the upper hand, in fact their valuation of £25mil was not even close to being met in the end if Sky sources are to be believed, it’s apparently worth up to £15mil so I’m guessing they will pay around £10mil for him initially.
