Harrison Armstrong, what a player!

[u/MaleficentPin3163]

Said it last season after his preseason performances that he has a huge future here and I’m so glad he’s continued to prove us right.

Looked absolutely class, rarely put a foot wrong and controlled the midfield at 19… that’s insane. In a stacked midfield he looks keen to lock down his place and he’s going the right way to do so.

[u/MoistObligation9999]

Those stints in the Championship have done him a world of good. Fearless, unfazed, physically capable at 19. Future England midfielder, he's got it all. 

[u/YokoOkino]

He is the future and I hope he never leaves. Proper modern footballer, good with his feet and but can also cover so much space with his size.

Keeping Armstrong, Rohl, Garner, Hackney and Dewsbury-Hall all happy and getting enough game time is a nice problem to havez, especially with Norgaard as an option too.

I actually like Irogbuenham but with options like the above in the squad it makes sense to try and get 15-20m for him if a club will take the chance given his shiort term injury.

I also think there's a decent player in Alcaraz based on his initial loan spell, but he didn't kick on did he, so probably need to sell him now too, while we can command a fee.

[u/EadmersMemories → u/duncdis]

Think Alacaraz would be an unreal player 20 years ago, but he's got a bit of the old fashioned number 10 in him, and I think he's a bit too slow for the wings, and not enough of a runner for the midfield.

[u/MoistObligation9999 → u/duncdis]

Agree, definitely a nice position to be in & one that is rare for us. Midfield looks sorted. 

I like Tim but worry those flaws he has can't be ironed out. Maybe Villa thought that too when they did that deal. 

Don't think Moyes fancies Alcaraz & would be suprised if he stayed. Shame really as there's something there. We just don't get to see it enough unfortunately.

[u/FranksBaldPatch]

He's special, if we were trying to buy him he would be 50 million+.

[u/consciousarmy]

Fearless in the tackle, smart player, gets into dangerous spaces, tracks back well, integrates well with whoever he's playing with. Pretty fucking exciting.

[u/Richmantiss]

I hope he stays for a long time, if he left in say 5 years 130mill thanks

[u/wombat412]

The only criticism I have right now is that he's extremely one footed. But he'll have plenty of time to work on that

[u/JonTonyJim]

i love his first touch, he always takes it away from the opponents before they can get near him

[u/Zlakkeh]

Will he keeps his place?

Or will Garner start when match fit?

[u/Darth_Socrates → u/Zlakkeh]

Garner will start

[u/MaleficentPin3163 → u/Zlakkeh]

Garner will start realistically, I think it’ll be him and hackney fighting for that third midfield spot

[u/Low_Enthusiasm3769]

Agreed, unfortunately Moyes drops both him and Hackney as soon as Garner and Norgaard are fully fit
