2024/25 Harrison Armstrong

[davep]

Whether it’s going or staying we need to do what’s best for him and his development. He’s a special talent.

Personally I feel like Branthwaite before him a year of first team football would be brilliant for him.

If he stays out of necessity we’ve failed him.

Send Harrison to PSV?

 

[Miked1e]

This mf’er is making the team.

He has to, we have no-one else

 

[Neiler]

Special.

 

[MaximusEvertonius]

Agreed, mate. I hope his loan spell was enough to earn himself a spot here. As Palpatine said, we shall watch his career with great interest.

 

[Osamabindiesel]

My biggest critique was that lunge tackle he made. It was a good tackle but never do that again. Refs are handing out reds like candy for those. Any contact at all and you're gone

 

[Axlswhk]

Special.

In what way?

 

[Neiler]

In what way?

In a footballing boss way mate.

Id have him ahead of Garner at this rate. Id still sign a new CM to be a starter but he's showing enough this preseason to be part of the squad and to get regular minutes.

It’s his composure and confidence mate, he plays like some 10 years older, his standards are very high, he can also dictate a game and run a midfield.

Hes 18 ffs and nor even that long, ridiculous.

Hes 18 ffs and nit even that long, ridiculous.

Yeah, I'm very impressed. Looks like the loan move has helped him massively in coming out of his shell. He had glimpses in the cup games for us but felt like he was still within himself a tad. Feels like he's properly stepped up to men's football.

He also has the engine and physicality for it mate.

There was a run he made into the box after starting the attacking phase, he was ahead of everyone even though he started behind, Clarke fluffed it but was thinking, yes high standards, desire and footballing intelligence.

….seems versatile, could he play that ‘hybrid 10’ position?

I’d have him deeper mate, an 8, he can break a line with passing and was very impressed him driving with the ball, picking out lads, probing and with the timing of his runs into the box, coming from deep.

That's the point of keeping him in that he appears to be able to play multiple midfield roles (in the same way as we have tried Alcaraz and Garner).

 

[Victus]

In what way?

In the way he's just turned 18 and he doesnt look out of place in a game of football. If you can't see he stands out in his age group maybe the sport isn't for you.
