Stuart Armstrong

People writing him off before he’s even signed need to have a look at themselves.

 

Perhaps I’m a bit old fashioned but I’ll wait to see him play for Saints.

 

I also believe clubs our size have to sign some players with potential, there are 26 year olds in Scotland who are at the peak of their game. Obviously you wouldn’t want to sign one of them, but part and parcel of scouting is identifying the ones that can improve. Put the guy with better players, in a better league and he could blossom into it. Amateurs like us wont be able to tell, but a professional scouting set up, that’s monitored him for months, if not years, could do. Championship players don’t stay championship standard their whole career, some thrive at a higher level. Maybe he’s one, maybe he’s not, but £7mil is peanuts in the modern game.

It’s great that we’re signing a player that we’ll get their best years from, rather than one that we’re looking to make a profit from.

Anyone able to translate?

 

Oh Brendan said, we're going to play him in centre mid,

Oh words can't describe,

When you see him in the Green and White,

His hair is fine,

He scores belters all the time,

That's why we sing a song,

For Stuart Armstrong

If he is the replacement for Davis as many on this thread are suggesting, does that mean Davis is actually leaving? He has been terrific for us, all be it a poor last season, but if he legs hve gone then I can't see anyone interested that can actually afford his wages, thus he will see his contract out.

if he is on say, £60k a week here, then it will have to be one hell of a cut for a completely skint Rangers to be a factor. I cant see him going anywhere, which is a problem.

Unless he has plans to stay on in a coaching role - I think he would/could be a good coach. Don’t ask me why just gut feel

If he was willing to take a cut I could see him doing pretty well at one of the better championship sides. He is a great pro, would be an example to younger members of the side. Wonder if Frank Lampard is looking to add experience at Derby County?

Don't think it means Davo leaving. But he is not reliable as Hughes found out at the end of last season, makes sense to bring in a replacement/competitor/backup for his position going into his last season. They could probably play together in some circumstances. In the past I thought Davis might go back to Rangers, but can't see Gerrard wanting that (don't know why, just doesn't feel like the way Stevie G will go). Think Davis is possibly being lined up for a coaching role once he retires. have we even heard any news about his injury? Diid he have an op as was suggested. Can't see us offloading our club captain.

What absolute b ollocks. What does this bloke know?? Heisenberg has seen him play and knows that he is c rap. Do we ever buy any decent players??

 

The talkceltic forum is probably a better gauge than the views of another millennial wannabe journo.

Not if its anything like this place. If you looked on here for opinion of one of our players...say JWP...you'd think he was either a young, upcoming super star and a dead ball specialist or one of the worst players to ever pull on a saints shirt who can't pass, tackle or run...

As we are turning from signing their star players to signing what they don't want. What would you think about Liverpool if they were going to sign Boufal?

 

Didn't want him yet offered him a new contract , which he turned down hence being partly frozen out !

Pretty polarising player when you read through the celtic forums. Can't say I've ever seen him play but most of the celtic fans seem to like him although a few think he is utter tosh.

 

Pretty hard to gauge from reading a forum but I'm excited. Let's see what he can do!

The reports from Scotland are that he has wanted a move to the EPL for a couple of years. If Strachan rates him the that is okay by me. Give the lad a chance.
Strachan took a bunch of appalling ex-Celts with him to Boro and made a poor Championship side worse.

 

Not sure his judgement is always bang on.

My Celtic supporting friend who goes to around half of our home games a season says Armstrong is a great player and exactly what we need. He knows his stuff.

 

Spoke to a Celtic fan at work today and he said the same- complimented him very highly.

Interesting line in this article in the Daily Record:

"Armstrong has sealed a £7 million switch to Southampton after the clubs struck a deal this week."

 

Sounds like it's already complete?
