2025/26 Harrison Armstrong

[Joey66]

The Aznou thread misses you Joey, please head over there and fight the poor lads corner.

Hes going out on loan next season to PNE - they will be in Division 1 the way they have slid down the league since HA left them .... DM is going there too save him using his bus pass to Finch farm ....

I’m curious. How many times did you see him at Preston and which aspects of his play there were poor and would have been developed if we’d left him there?

It’s about actually being on the field, which he is going to be less and less for us now that we have people back in the squad and fit.

Iggy? Nah, he means it. Agree with him or not, Big Ig likes the footy chat.

Im not wumming! We made a shortsighted decision to bring him back and now he hasn’t started a game in his position in a month. It’s irresponsible

I reckon everyone working in football would laugh at this view.

Just like a few of his last games at Preston then..

He started for them in midfield a week before we brought him back so I’m certain I don’t know what you mean

Most everyone working in football is hopelessly shortsighted so I take that as a badge of honor

Having watched every minute of his time at Preston ( bar 1 game ) instead of just quickly looking it up, think I know what I'm talking about..

@Joey66 time to step up for your lad again, Big Oil is on the rampage in his thread.

I still don’t see why this matters when my whole point is he played there and isn’t playing here…

Ideally for Armstrong he'd be playing central midfield for Everton, but as that's not likely right now the option for being involved in another position or as a substitute in Premier League games, involved in training, and just being a valued member of the team is much better than playing in any position for Preston. It'll also be much better for Everton in the long term.

Armstrong staying at Preston would have been ideal for Preston, but I don't see why that should be important to us. Good Everton players should obviously be playing for Everton.

Your point was he should have stayed at Preston as we have played him out of position, so did they

Because he’s 18 and could use more experience playing against adults. Training does nothing. It’s not a match. Football is a sport where matches do not resemble training really at all.
