If he isn't committed to us then punt. No great loss to be honest. |

I think 🤔 and I could be wrong but I’d say football is not his no1 priority. Just punching down time. |

Aye, maybe, but they are still getting well in excess of £100M every year just to play in the EPL. This situation is unlikely to change in the foreseeable future and we find ourselves in a position that we cannot compete financially with many Championship sides. |

Yes he will be tested and he will be found wanting. The guy has ability and can play well. However he can also lose confidence very easily and disappear for months. He is at best in a team that dominates most games and attacks. Finding space in an attack is his strenght. He is Also more confident in a team that wins most weeks. He is not much use when the team is under pressure and having to defend - he brings little to that side of the game. As for him having the character to battle through a relation dogfight, that any team that signs him will inevitably be involved in then forget about it. As I said he can stay, have a great career at a team that suits him best and still have a very comfortable future. Or he can chase a big pay packet in England, for a while. |

There was all the commotion last season which went on for what seemed like ages, the constant talk about him moving down south and now this. Its not a one off |

Thats a bit dramatic He signed a one year extension All the "constant talk about him leaving" is not really down to him Its down to people on messageboards and the like " And now this" as if he's causing people to open a thread on him and go through all the horror and speculation again. We were happy to keep him for another year, he will likely go, its pretty routine stuff really |

At the moment it is a one off. Which is kind of the opposite of a regular occurrence. |

I agree if he has no commitment we punt him but to say he is no great loss is too dismissive . If Armstrong is on form and we all know he wasn't most of last season but if he was to stay and Brendan gets him back on form he is a very good player to have in the squad. All ifs and buts just now though.

I'd rather keep him and him sign a new long term contract...but if he wants to go? We'll get more than the £4m banded about in the SMSM imo, bottom half EPL clubs will happily pay between £6m-£8m, they regularly pay more than that for utter dross in the last years of their contracts...that together with Peter Lawwell driving a hard bargain..we'll get closer to £8m for Armstrong imo. |

I'm surprised we manage to hold onto any players at all when they could all be playing for Palace and Burnley. |

Stuart's a midfielder with winger or forward stats, I don't think he's started two thirds of appearances in his career and that's not what you need in central midfield. I think young Olivier in his first full season looked more reliable. McGinn is miles above Armstrong in that department too. Putting other comparisons and attributes aside he's far more used to playing 90 minutes. Edited by Pussyfoot, 10 Jun 2018, 09:19 AM.

I said best league in the world, not the best teams. It's the league that's the attraction there outwith the big clubs. Get yourself to a club in the EPL, do well and maybe move to a big club. Don't stand out but maybe just establish yourself and make a right good packet. |

McGinn is nowhere near being as good at what Armstrong brings to the team so whatever stats you are looking at aren't really relevent. If John McGinn was playing for us for the last 3 or 4 years his 90 minute stats would be non existent. |
