No idea mate. Maybe their manager doesnt fancy him. Really no clue though, cant see him being recalled or else it'd be on socials or at least in the forum

@joey66brother might know

Fingers crossed this lad gets a good start and is a regular for next season. From what I’ve seen he’s a Paul Bracewell type player. Not flashy but a good engine and eye for a pass.

Injury time 30-yard screamer vs Brentford

Whatever your thoughts on his management ability, I think we can all agree that this man gives the most hideous, uninspiring press conferences that the world has ever seen.

“Hi David, any words of encouragement for the young man that’s been at this club since he was a boy and desperately wants nothing more than to succeed here?”

“Nah, I’d rather be shot of him as soon as we get arl Idrissa back.”

i'm thinking we wont see much of him until cup games then when we go out he will be back to Preston

He can be a bit dour can’t he!

But tbh I think the lad probably wants to go back to Preston for the remainder of the season, he certainly said in an interview I watched a few weeks back that he felt he’d be be best staying at the team all season and he clearly liked it there.

Really hope he gets a chance and not just two minutes at the end of a game

Never mind Preston.

Who does he think he is handing out personal favours to former clubs with Everton players.

I hope Armstrong does well this month while he's here. Gives Moyes something to think about and potentially competing for a rotation spot next season.

I imagine that’s the most likely outcome, but surely the message should be along the lines of “we need him in the squad while we’re short on numbers, and if he gets and takes his chance there’s every possibility he’ll be with us for the rest of the year. If that doesn’t look like being the case then of course we’ll consider sending him back to continue his development.”

I get that expectations have to be managed, but you’d want to put a positive spin on something like this, rather than just Dour Davey doing Dour Davey stuff.

Anyway, it is what it is. Centre mid has gone from a years-long horror show for us into an area we can potentially get excited about. Garns, Tim, Charly, Merlin and Armstrong could be a strong central midfield armoury for years to come.
