Completely out of his depth.

If Armstrong signs we'd have spent £32.5m on incoming players this summer. What about this deal makes it 'desperate'?

Adam Armstrong to replace Danny Ings, plus another young striker from our feeder club to act as backup...

Do you think it was based on feedback from his camp? Because Arsenal rejected multiple bids and then he signed a new contract. So Villa clearly misread the situation, perhaps they have with Ward-Prowse as well!

Do you think they thought they had a chance of signing Emile Smith Rowe?

That shouldn't be an issue, he'd get a huge wage increase at Saints.

He is out of contract next summer, so he'd need an extension first.

The medical is already booked for tomorrow, so it is extremely advanced for a gazumping to happen.

Why don't you ever play nice in the playground with me? 🤔😋

Probably A.Armstrong and S.Armstrong

No it isn't. Just took it to the extreme to highlight a point. Size of strikers doesn't matter, they play to their other strengths. Armstrong isn't being signed to be a target man!

He is very quick. Is Messi 'too small' for the Premier League?

Tom Leach says 'The total package Saints will pay for the player will not rise beyond £15million'.

https://www.hampshirelive.news/sport/football/transfer-news/breaking-southampton-blackburn-adam-armstrong-5759743 For all those that were previously complaining about the price or Saints not paying Blackburn the initial asking price. Buyer starts low, seller starts high and come to an agreement.

Maybe they are all white but a red one got left in the wash.

He has been at Saints for 10 years! When will you learn his name? 😁😇 I'd be surprised if Bednarek and Adams don't start. Perraud, Diallo and Salisu aren't untested youngsters. They are all in their 20s and have seasons under their belts. If that applies to anyone in the line-up it would be Nathan Tella.

Unless you state the level you are comparing him with that doesn't work as a definition. If he is an average centre back for the entire Premier League, then that is fine, as a 10th place season would be a very good outcome for Saints.

No it doesn't. Lots of football fans use 'average' as a description, but are far too vague as to what it means.

Not at all. Like nothing in this song was ironic...

What does that actually mean when used as a description of a footballer? 🤔
