    19 in 26 games for Coventry so far the lad has.
    He will be a major asset next year if we drop to the Championship.
    He could be our Andy Carroll as we look to bounce straight back.
    Great to see him develop.

    Great to see us develop into a team that will benefit him in the long term. Relegation really is our long term plan to develop our youngsters

    I truly hope they leave this young man precisely where he is.
    He is blossoming and his confidence must be sky high right now
    He will be enjoying his football and relishing every moment on the pitch.
    Please, please do not plunge him into the ****storm that is NUFC right now.
    He had done nothing to deserve a punishment such as being recalled by this bunch of fools.

    Scoring at a lower-level will be useful for NUFC as we glide down the divisions.

    A certain starter in seasons to come.

    He's a bit short though isn't he?

    And the rest, crikey! Aguero leaps instantly to mind.

    Got to say, comparisons to Beardo et al are hilarious!

    He doesn't have pace, or much skill, but he is a decent finisher, and not too bad at crossing either.

    Best comparison for me is Rooney. If he can become a player who steps up at crucial moments, he'll be invaluable whatever league we're in, otherwise he'll be a bit like the older version of Rooney... Bit of a passenger.

    Looking at the championship, we'll most likely lose Gini and Perez, so Armstrong would fit straight in.

    If we stayed up, he'll end up on loan again.

    My comparison was in height to a Geordie hero who was sheer quality which surely ring more of a bell than Aguero, Messi etc- not sure why we had to mention anyone else or even think it was a comparison other than, someone who was very successful in football, height <doh>

    If you notice, my comment was very tongue-in-cheek from start to finish.

    I do actually realise that height is no barrier to scoring goals.

    Thanks.

    I think he's going to be better than Messi. I think he'll end up a really tidy player.

    I think he'll end up in the Championship. Would be great if he could make it in the PL though, preferably with us.
