Bet he ends up at the hun one day.
:ffs:

It was clear from the moment he signed (we wanted an initial 4 and a half year deal and he insisted on a year less) than he saw us as a step to going elsewhere. The exact same as Wanyama and VVD (not saying he's as good).

He won 8 medals including 4 league titles. He got into the Scotland team. He has improved as a player and had a big role in the Invincibles. On the bus after the double treble he said he had no idea how big a club Celtic was until he signed for us. He seemed to have a real respect for the club but he wasn't a badge kisser and he has always fancied playing outside of Scotland. And whats wrong with that ?

Is his loss as bad as say Hooper, Petrov, VVD, di Canio etc. No, of course not but his energy and drive from midfield will be missed. Wish him nothing but the best


:thumbsup:

Everyone wins here.

It's like a bird you go out with who's quite hot but not that smoking and you know it's only a bit of fun but she's always ok with you even if sometimes she feels a little distant and pies your texts. Then she finally says she's met someone else and a bit of you knew this day was coming but although you're not gutted as you've actually got a better lassie on the go you're not delighted either. Plus you get £7million quid somehow, I don't know, this bit of the analogy doesn't work.

Gutted to see him go. On his game he was a joy to watch.

Good luck to the lad, hope he goes down south and tears it up.

Plenty have come in knowing Celtic were a stepping stone to (what they perceived as) better things (more money certainly). Hooper, Forster, Wanyama, Ki, VVD. Armstrong has simply followed suit, and that’s what some players do.

As with all Celtic players that move on, he goes with my best wishes but not really bothered how he does from here on .

Hope he smashes it down there. Gives us a good hand when negotiating with these moneybags teams from the EPL in future. 'Oh you thought Armstrong was good? He wasn't even first pick. Wait until you see Callum McGregor...'

Think we'll miss his ability to get beyond the striker when he was on form.

He had two 6 months spells of form. The 6 months in Rodgers first season being the best.

I think he'll struggle for regular football at Southampton.

Armstrong has been a good player for us. He has improved and over the piece improved the team when he's played. Whats also true is that we need more from our midfield, especially in Europe.

(McGinn isnt that player btw - Id be surprised if in 3 years time he puts the sort of performance in that Armstrong did against England say)
I don't remember Armstrong being particularly good against England, or in any big non sevco games the last couple of years.

Maybe I'm blinded by him pissing his breeks at the end of that game.
He cost us the win against England
harsh! He was good, more than held his own and yes he was puggled. My point stands, no?

£7m is a profit whatever way you cut it - got to get better in.
