Seems an expensive way to let Armstrong go on loan tbh but whatever.

Seems a rather short term signing but chances to win the league don't come around too often

Same. I kind of hate it but I'm also kind of so curious I want to see how it turns out.

Why wouldn't he? Also his chance creation is not good. Its about on par with James Garner in an easier league.

Fascinated to find out what you think numbers are if not data

Theyve got to have seen something with their eyes they *really* like to have tried to sign him in 3 different windows under 2 different managers and 2 heads of recruitment/DoFs. His injury record and data don't paint a pretty picture. It's got...

The point of moneyball was that players didn't look the part but their underlying numbers were good. Merlin Rohl is the absolute opposite of that premise.

Hope the nut Is incredibly thorough with his medical for that much

….we know he’s gone to Spain today for 3 games, with the window closing tomorrow then maybe he’s staying.

….very official looking car outside of his as I was going past just now, driver waiting for him. As he came out I asked where he was off to, he said ‘Spain’, then noticed he had his England gear on. Asked him about Preston, he said he genuinely...

City being a weird mishmash of pure mid table dross and then world class players is so odd. And there's a lot more of them that wouldn't look out of place in the bottom half.

Hes looking a lot better now that he's got almost none of the creative burden and is free to play his game
