Summer Transfer Window 2025 Thread


That's a v small sample size generally. And 15 out of 20 matches he played in were as a sub, which skews stats a lot, and for Barcelona, which also skews stats a lot.

Not saying he's bad! No idea. Just that there's not really much to interpret there.

I mean it's a lot better than 600+ minutes and the percentiles being crap. Shows he's getting a lot done in limited minutes for me.
 


Are you on crack? :lol:

Armstrong isnt a dm my man. Hes a ACM or a number 8 but imo he's no where near ready to play in the PL.

Id prefer to send him out on loan get game time and he can come back and be part of the team next season.
Nope.

He's not a AM, I'll give you a no.8 though. In terms of style of play I think he suits a more defensive role but as someone that can drive forward on attacking runs. He's not ready to start games, hence making the bench and coming on. This is a far better way of integrating a young player into the team - in recent history, all our young players that have left on loan have been sold for book profit after their successful season.

Give him 6 months of being in and around the team, especially if we start playing better, because that means we can take more risks with youth players later in the game. If by January he's not cutting the mustard or he's not getting game time, then ship him out on loan for 6 months, but I think for now he'd be better in the squad than not.
