Armstrong no great loss.
Overall I agree but I did like the option he gave us at times.
Agree with that, he gave us something different but if we get £7m I'd be delighted - as long as it's spent on the team.

Roberts gone,Armstrong on his way. We're now weaker as a team/squad.

Hopefully some good replacements on the way.
Weaker as a squad, not as a team. Some good replacements would be more than welcome though :thumbsup:
Armstrong is a proven double figure goal scorer from midfield,i'd say weaker team.
He scored 4 goals last season.

Morgan has come in. I think he'll make more of an impact than Musonda (based on absolutely nothing at all)

Roberts wasnt really a factor for us last season. Armstrong was more off than on. I'd be more concerned if we were selling Forrest or Ntcham or Rogic, all guys that played significant minutes.

If we add a player or two that actually play more games than not, we'll be stronger.

All the best to Armstrong, he clearly wanted to go so we got the best deal.

He was quality for us at his peak and although he fell away last season he got back to his best at the tail end of the season. As part of the squad he'll be missed but he'll be replaced.

Hope he does well down there.

This is the summer we have to go up a notch. Armstrong, Hayes etc moved on a hopefully more of the Ntcham, Edouard type signings.

And our form wasn't anywhere near as good as the previous year when both Armstrong and Roberts played vital roles.

We definitely need to add more quality in the attacking midfield positions in my opinion after the departure of Roberts and Armstrong. Along with a right back, CB and ideally a goalkeeper who can play the role the manager wants.

Not gonna happen though I realise that.

The fact Roberts wasn’t really a factor last season was a huge blow and one of the reasons why we struggled to break so many teams down at Celtic Park. We do need someone with that extra bit of quality that he produced the year before.

I get that and I want us to add some options to the team too but the reason we didn't hit the heights last season wasn't down to the absence of Armstrong or Roberts.

Jozos form took a major dip, Moussa and Griffiths were both either below par or out injured for big parts of the season, Sinclair all but disappeared after Christmas, Lustig looked done while the new signings, Ntcham aside, barely made a dent.

I must admit, after all the pomp and ceremony afforded the huns signings, I'd love us to make a STFU signing or two right before the window batters down.

Could argue French Eddy made a dent by scoring vital goals against them at Greyskull and Paradise

We really need to strenthen both full back positions.
