I've kept my counsel all summer but he should be extremely grateful to have availed of Brendan Rodgers' expertise and knowledge last season. What a short memory if he's now looking to sail off into the sunset. I'd drop him and put him on the transfer list.
Are you Laurie from Dennistoun?

He's just the latest 'hilarious' spoof poster.

Ah, so this is the current go to thread for the bonkersness? :thumbsup:

He wasn't great by any means, but the reaction is hilarious. He's still under contract, he's playing, he can have an off game or two. It happens. He had a few high profile passes that went astray, but I watched the whole game again and he kept it ticking over in many spells while he was on too, on reflection.

If something happens with his contract over the coming days, watch this thread turn.
Funny how things turned after Mikey mentioned that Armstrong was planning to sit tight until January. Almost predictable ;)
And every suggestion I have heard (from someone close to Guy Armstrong, Stuart's dad) is that he has always been, and still is, more likely to sign a new contract with Celtic than do anything else. I had that confirmed to me again last week on the day of the Rosenborg home leg.

I'll admit that the length of time it is taking one way or another is a bit strange (his rep's holiday was given as a reason to me), but it is definitely colouring people's views unnecessarily.

If he signed a new contract tomorrow, and produced a shocker on Saturday, the reaction would be nothing like this. Players have bad games. It's not a indication of his "head being gone" or that we are entering Bad Year Armstrong again, after an excellent season of form.

He struggled in an early season game where a team well into their season played most of the two games with a low block, concentrating mainly on denying space, in games where we played without a recognised striker for 80% of the time.
Hope you are right.

Anyone can have an off night but I've had the impression for a while that his head is not right. He's not stopped trying but when you are torn about a decision you have to make, nothing you do seems right.

Celtic can't afford to let a player as good as him run down his contract. He has to sign or be listed. And the decision has to be made now. No regrets, no hard feelings, business is business.
Agree totally and we can't have him in the final qualifier in this form if he hasn't signed up

In football, once you make the psychological decision to leave your head and heart is gone. While Stuart may be a bit torn it seems to me it is likely he wants to go and who could blame him if he is getting 20/30k extra a week. Better to resolve this sooner rather than later.

If he's not going to sign he shouldn't be playing. Play the players who want to be here.
He has a year left with us. To say he shouldn't play is laughable.
He shouldn't be in the team just now because he's playing poorly. Probably because he doesn't want to be here.
More likely just the usual loss of form most players suffer during pre-season when they're working hard on getting their fitness back up and it leaves them knackered and off their game for a couple of weeks.

He's far from the only one in the team at the moment who's still a way of last year's form (Brown and Sinclair being the most obvious)

If he's still off form in a fortnight then it might be time to question whether he's either got his mind elsewhere or last season was just a 6 month purple patch he'll struggle to repeat.

Needs some time on the bench. Rogic, McGregor and Ntcham should all be getting game time ahead of him.

I'm pretty sure that Stuart Armstrong is well aware that he has a year left of a contract to see out with Celtic. If he isn't playing, and playing to the standerd he achieved over the period BR has turned his game around the self same man will make the descision to bench him or drop him. He may then get dropped from the Scotland starting side, and that will only lessen his worth to any potential new club. He needs to maintain last year's form to get that bumper pay packet he is chasing.

I still hope he signs a new contract with Celtic.

Meanwhile, Rodgers confirmed Celts will be without stopper Erik Sviatchenko for six weeks after he limped out of the win over Rosenborg.

Rodgers is also hopeful Stuart Armstrong WILL sign a new deal.

Rodgers revealed: “I’m hoping that very soon it can be resolved.”

Meanwhile, Rodgers has intimated that he would like Stuart Armstrong's position sorted as quickly as possible.

The Hoops midfielder has been in negotiations with the club over a new deal for more than six months but so far there has been no agreements between the two parties.

"I’m hoping that very soon that can be resolved either way," said Rodgers. "I don’t think we are too far away now. I hope for him and the club it can be resolved.

"We haven’t had any offers. It’s something I’d be hopeful of. I have a lot of time for Stuart. I saw him when I first came in, I’ve seen the progress he has made, the confidence he has played with and I want to help him sustain that. I know what his goals are, I know where he wants to be and I think we can help him achieve them here. If that’s the case, he’ll sign. I think stability would be good for him. There are not too many players feel good about entering the last year of their contract. So I am really confident we can get something organised."

It's amazing how 2 different articles based on the same interview can give you 2 different impressions on what is going on.

Reporting standards :suspect: eh?
