But his background isn’t Ross Barkley’s or Seamus Coleman’s. He has options those players didn’t have and he will use them. There’s not a lot of season for him. If he’s not playing significantly more come December, which is like 8 PL games away, he will start to evaluate his options.

I think he will win him over imo looks like wants to learn and is prob moyes wanting to work more on his game. Making sure he keeps the team shape when need defensively. Still think as the season goes on we will see more of players like alcaraz dibbling even rohl.

...fancy. Witness playing a centre midfield of John Heitinga and Phil Jagielka when we were down to bare bones instead of giving a young Ross Barkley a chance. Refusing to give a young Coleman game time even when an aging Phil Neville was terrible. Moyes’ mind can be changed but agree there’s...

Give it a rest mate , you just keep repeating yourself over and over, including admitting you’ve seen very little of Armstrong. It’s pretty simple really , as the many who follow our Academy will tell you. In the past ten years we’ve had three players come through our Academy who’ve played 50...

The Lukaku right wing was a Martinez masterclass. Possibly picked up from Pep playing Eto RW with Messi through the middle v Utd in CL after SKY doing a week of Evra v Messi hype 😆 Rio said later that he and Vidic were told to get tight on Messi but they hardly saw him until he was running past them

...the early 90’s and late noughties it was a different time and especially at Everton we used a lot of young players and Loads got chances in the premier league, Last 15yrs not so much. Gordon at 20 was flopping on Loan at Preston and even Barkley at 19 hardly got any starts on loan at Leeds

This is what I’m pushing back on. Rodwell, Gordon, Barkley, Rooney, Jeffers, even Branch and Cadamaterie, they all showed something in the premier league before people got carried away. HA has shown very little and people are going all in on him. It’s like a young lad dancing with a girl for the...

this is a pre season kind of thread but will indulge you Pickford Baines Stones Jagielka Coleman Pienaar Barkley Cahill Arteta Lukaku Rooney

Something stopped him from making it to the very top though as he had the raw talent to. Really thought we had a generational player on our hands when he broke through

Absolutely loved this line up.

He was a free agent and the championship is a better standard than the Belgium league

Armstrong has gone to Preston at age 18. Osman went to Derby at age 22. barkley went to Wednesday at 19. All 3 on loans. Puts into perspective Isaac Price going to Liege on a permanent at age 19.

It would seem you’ve seen very little of Armstrong from your comment of an average player in a poor team at Derby and your repeated “ underwhelmed “ comments. I watched him last season at u18/21, cameos at England u18 where he made a delightful assist after 3 mins on the pitch and maybe 5 or 6...

How many games has he played plus when he has played he has been our MOTM - through balls his speciality @Goat :D

You’re basically the only one on here that doesn’t think he’s talented because you jumped early and are too much of an arse to ever change your opinion.

You must have seen him more than me because I have seen the talent yet. With players like Barkley and Rodwell it was obvious very quickly.

Gerrard and Rooney.

Rooney and Barkley?

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...

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.
