Can someone tell me why on earth he was playing for us today then? Why are we not giving time to the squad who will be with us at Ipswich? That is so stupid

My thoughts exactly. If that’s the going rate, Armstrong is a no brainer for 3m.

Yep with you. Sign Chapman and Armstrong, and loan Gallagher and Nmecha. Job done

What on earth is going on with Adam Armstrong? He must be available. He isn't getting in the first team at Newcastle.

That Nmecha kid from City looks great! Hope it’s him. Can play Inside Forward in the 4-2-3-1.

Yeah I see that it was 22,000 but prob a yearly wage rise. Mental

I would rather sign Sam Gallagher than loan him again. Would be happy with that despite his poor goal scoring record in the Championship. 24 grand a week, that can’t be right??

We are in serious trouble if we don’t get at least three quality attacking goal threats in here soon. We need Armstrong. He can play up top with Graham, or wide right in the 4-2-3-1. We need another right winger, as Bennett is now viewed at RB, RWB or CM. Left winger/Inside Forward and 6ft+ Striker. If we have the money a quality Centre half won’t go a miss. Lenihan can fill in at RB if Nyambe/Travis/Bennett are all out, we don’t need a RB. It’s the same needs we have had all summer, and two preseason games in it looks like we are right. Nyambe was excellent last year, I watched 44/46 games on Ifollow. Been watching football for nearly 30years and can normally tell when someone is shite, live or on the 70” Telly. Some folks expecting him to look like Cafu. He is a very fast defensive right back. My biggest complaint aside from his crossing is he gets lost at times when the ball is in the air. It’s strange. He is lightning fast, strong as an ox, and can run all day. Think most people will agree he came on leaps and bounds last year, and as I said last week at Hibs, he looks to have lost a few pounds and looks even more athletic.

Could that be wing backs with a 3-5-2? Bennett/Travis in right and Conway on the left?

Liked the comment, then had to unlike when I got to the right back part. Strongly disagree.

Would be chuffed with that

Just watched the second half of the Hibs friendly. Nyambe wasn’t troubled in the slightest and looks to have dropped a half stone, looks a touch leaner. Most underrated player in the squad. Nyambe is first choice and Travis and Bennett can back him up. We need strikers and wingers, two of each and another Centre Half.

I have been a Hibs fan and Rovers fan for 25 years+. First time this has happened. Wish I was home for it, but wouldn't know where to sit. Have fun in Edinburgh, those that are going. Hopefully there is no trouble. Tb

Guess that's the answer for Armstrong too then. So we wait....

“Minor Niggle” is code word for in negotiations with another club.

You could sign all 4 for the price of one Lewis Grabban. Tony said he wants young hungry players. Those were who I listed. Just watched some more footage of Maddison, he has stolen MGP's left peg.

100% Hard truths.

Imagine if we got Bauer, Maddison, Armstrong and Chapman all bought, and then loaned a Premier League Striker. SIgning those 4 fits in with positions of need, what Mowbray says about younger players with resell value. Could get most of that done with the Josh King Cut. Playoffs, you want to talk about playoffs.

Surely just a FM18 thing For a decent window so far, folks are sure bitchy on here. In terms of Edwards, was he the lad that ran the show against us at Ewood in the first half? That first half against Peterborough was the most impressive performance against us all season. Looked like bloody Barcelona showed up, we got lucky that day.

Can't remember who mentioned it, but someone on here made the point of Armstrong has to learn to play the Inside Forward/Right Winger position. So many teams like us are playing the 4-2-3-1, he simply doesn't have the stature to play as a lone striker. I wanna see a fast counter attacking team with Chapman and Armstrong providing the pace out wide.

Please don't tell me you plan on Conway starting Left wing

Think we need: Bauer Chapman Right Winger Big Striker Fast Striker I would be incredibly happy with that.

I mean I'm sure it would be a loan for a season. Poor lads been shipped out 4 years out of the last 4. On about 35k a week. Done business with Liverpool twice in the past 12 months. Stranger things have happened.

Anyone see on Twitter Markovic from Liverpool linked. Probably crap but we need wingers.

Time for some artists Tony!
