2025/26 Harrison Armstrong

Why from day one it was a very bad idea being around Jack Grealish in training would have helped him .... Preston what a coincidence - Wrexham , Blackburn , & Derby in for him ....
The other lot never let their young winger go out on loan did they they have more sense .....

He's only just turned 17, Joey?

Just relax, more important things in life than wondering if we should have kept Armstrong instead of signing Rohl.

The injury prone loanee who played 15 games last season ...

Sorry our youth system is pants loan loan that's all we do or sell them off - WBA have a great player from our youth system Lampard really rated him ....

….they let their wingers go out as a matter of course, Harry Wilson had a number of loan spells before signing for Fulham, right through to Doak at Middlesborough last season.

Even more difficult to break into their team.

I think getting 25-30 games under his belt in a difficult physical league will benefit him more than that, must be great training with players of Grealish calibre and I'm sure it helps to an extent, but I think he'd prefer to get games rather than a few minutes here and there for us this season.

….i was under the impression Isaac Price left for the Belgian league as opposed to being released or sold. Thats what happens these days.

It isn’t really though is it. Compared to most mid table PL clubs in the same period we’ve had some very good players come through. How many other mid table PL teams have had players as good as Rooney Rodwell Barkley Gordon come through? Even Baines and Jagielka started off in our academy.

Some would be lucky to get one player as good as those out of their system.

Who is the player from our youth system and why didn't Lampard sign him for Coventry?
I have just joined this thread now.

Our youth system isn't, but the club for the best part of 2 decades hasn't had a clue how to develop a player once they reach first team age outside of farming them out on loan which I think mightve been closer to his point.

I largely agree with your post mate, I think our academy can definitely be improved but it’s not as disastrous as some would have it, I don’t think.

Should point out though that neither Baines nor Jagielka were produced by our academy mate. Wigan and Sheffield Utd respectively.

EDIT: actually I’m talking rubbish - I was going from memory so decided to fact check myself, and I didn’t realise that they did both indeed start off here before moving on to the above mentioned academies. So you are correct - I doff my hat sir
 
…as usual, don’t really know what point you’re trying to make about these youngsters except it’s not making any sense :lol:

Everton reeling as West Brom starlet breaks long-standing record on international duty -​


The Black Country outfit recruited the Northern Ireland international from Belgian Pro League side Standard Liege for a reported fee of £2.5m – a figure that is such a snip given what he has showcased in the blue, and white stripes so far...

I can see Harrison Armstrong going in the same old way in the future ....
 
Isaacs price, went to standard liege in Belgium.
Isaac Price has done well no doubt, however I doubt if he is a player we are looking at in any way to bring back to the club.

I saw Lookman being mentioned as well as someone who got away, however I don't think he was never involved in any way with our academy and my memory was that he was pushing to leave.
