Sold them both for a pittance as well. And the odds of us having a buyback clause is roughly nil

Yeah the championship was the perfect time to give him a decent chance.

Another example of Rafa screwing the club long term :bandit:

Our mistake with Armstrong was loaning him out when we were in the Championship. We sent him to 2 direct teams in 2 years where he gained nothing. If we just used him in the Championship instead of Atsu/Diame he may have grown and been a PL player a lot earlier.

I mean there's so many great in championship but not PL league level strikers, my default is to always assume that's the case

He's been a great signing for Rovers, said at the time that it was stupid for us to let him go permanently instead of on loan, could have been a decent Perez replacement

Agree, i'd say the same about Toney as well. I know this looks like hindsight but said when we let him go it was a mistake as he had good loans before we released him.
I guess we'll find out how he'll do in the prem if/when Bournemouth sign him (linked heavily with him) if they survive.
Rafa dropped a bollock with these two and Mbabu as far as i'm concerned.

He was probably the best player at the club in small sided training games. Just had no real position [b]and terrible luck with injury.[/b]

Isn't that just standard now? <laugh>

Bring him hyem!

I was just saying to my mate at the Chelsea game that the player Joelinton reminds me of a little is Vuckic. Not an out and out centre forward, but seemingly just too big and not quite mobile enough to be a winger. Possibly a 10, but you don't get many big number 10's

Cracking strike though.
