2025/26 Harrison Armstrong

[EFC_FRANCIS]

Dobbin, Small, Gibson, Armstrong. They've got their own fab 4

Think Mr Percy has got his box of tissues ready for another story there perhaps……

With a bit of luck he'll stay at Palace and Konate and VVD's knees get crumpled

 

[BainesontoastNEW]

Is there anyway he can be on loan at Preston but still train with our players like once a week or something?

No disrespect to PNE, but he will learn a lot more training with Grealish, Gueye, Garner, KDH etc than their squad.

He'll learn how to leave the club through Thierry Small!


Hopefully joking...

 

[ToffeeScot]

Not sure I agree with this. I think he's ready to be around the first team squad and will get minutes. I thought he showed last week he is massively improved from before he went to Derby.

But I assume this means we are definitely bringing in a midfielder, probably Rohl.

I'd have liked him to stay but I think we are doing good succession planning for once.

This season we will probably have Garner, Gana, Tim, KDH and Rohl in CM. We can even drop players like Alcaraz and McNeil in there if we start struggling for numbers. That's a lot of competition.

Next season I think Gana will leave and there's a likelihood that Tim does too, leaving Garner, KDH and Rohl. He will then have a good full season loan behind him and be ready to step into the first team.

Preston are a decent team with three loan players already in Lewis Dobbin, Alfie Devine and Daniel Jebbison, he’ll fit in ok .

But, and it’s a big but, he’ll develop but he’s not going to progress to PL standards. He’ll still need to sit on a PL bench , come on get PL minutes, learn the ways of our players and the pace of the PL . If not now when? I can only hope it’s a short term loan and he’s back in January.

Bad decision in my opinion. Rather give him a go than some guy nobody had heard of until this morning who may or may not fit in.

He's going on loan mate not getting sold. You'll see him again in June.

 

[davek]

Stupid decision.

He's not ready to start games but he'd be a useful sub. And he's a MF who wont be going to the ACN.

It's typical Moyes though: forevever throwing young Everton talent out the door with a sale in mind further down the line...all because he's too 'kin useless to bring them through.

You're talking about him as if he's 21-22, the lads 18 and getting minutes in the champo will benefit him more than observing from our bench. Game time is king and always will be.

He either should stay with the side, training alongside Premier League players and getting meaningful game time (which of course he would, injuries happen) or he should've gone to an elite team just outside the Big 5 leagues, a la Brainthwaite. Preston is a waste of time.

Moyes is a clueless biff who devalues young talent like Barkley, Aznou and even Rooney in the past. That he'd get shut of Armstrong too is completely forseeable.

He's scared of young talent because he knows you need a nurturing approach with them that he hasn't got, because he's a piece of wood.

Personally think he overvalues Tim Iroegbunam.
