There's no guarantee that Armstrong will fetch a higher fee in a year's time. He's just had the best season of his career, but he's made a slow start this season and-given the form of others- starting places will probably be much rarer for him.
Totally understandable why he's had a slow start, no? I'm glad he's signed just wish it had been for another year.

Doesn't surprise me at all. It just reinforces the idea that we are a selling club. It's simply reality that we are now the largest fish in a very small pond. Sell him on, invest the cash in new hopefuls and move on.

glad he has signed, but with it only being a 1 year extension it points to him being punted next summer.

BR obviously wants him so a good deal from that point of view.

The 2 year deal is pretty poor though as we'll just be back in this situation next year.

He definitely wants to play in the English league or even abroad at one stage. Even if he stays until 2019, he'll be 27 yo and reaching the peak of his career, with all the money earning potential that comes with that.

Well if he goes his hair apparent seems to be here in Nitcham...in saying that I really hope he stays. We need the strength in depth and he'll play a big part again if he does stay.Seemed a wee bit more with it when he came on the other night I thought.

Edit - I see he has signed, missed that this morning. A 2 year deal.....so a year from noe we're back to the same situation...

I must be easily pleased or very naive - I think it is great news. Congratulations Stu.
:thumbsup:

17 goals/season from a midfielder.
Exactly how i see it,17 goals and can play almost any position due to his engine/mobility. Couldnt care less about when he is sold or for how much,he's here now and that's all that should matter to the player/fans/coaching staff.Everyone thinks they are a Director of Football these days,trying to interpret contracts and clauses,who cares.

Would have been happier if he saw his long term future with us and go on to mke a real contribution to us but certainly strengthens our position in the short term so has to be positive.

He's still got loads to prove at the club.

I'm pretty certain the 1 year option lies on Celtic's side to ensure a decent fee next summer.

Pure speculation but they may think Christie is more ready for our first team next season and happier to let him got then.

He`ll be 26/27 and probably ready to go after spending all his career in the SPL. Could work out well for both parties if Christie continues to progress at the sheep.

It's a win/win, Celtic will now get a decent return on him when he goes which is looking likely with that contact length and Armstrong gets a few more quid for himself. Seems people aren't as bothered that he goes now that Ntcham looks a player but if Ntcham is as good as most are touting him as on here then he will be offski around the same time as Armstrong!!!
