Adam Armstrong is a done deal.

DiCanio, Where did you hear that? I wouldn’t be unhappy with that from the little I know of him, he would be a DM type of choice? He is an aggressive front player that scores goals, albeit in the Championship!

I’m a bit concerned about reading we’re upping our offer for the Algerian to £32m, can’t see that happening after paying similar money for Anderson and Haller, at least I hope not? ⚒⚒⚒.

Don't know, I read a story how he could be the next Heugill, good in the Championship but no good at Premier league. He certainly struggled at Newcastle.

We have had good buys from the championship Antonio, Bowen, Dawson and i think this is the way to go sure Hugill didn't make the grade but it didn't breaK us either.
If Moyes wants him he can't be any worse than Haller and i'm sure he is not costing 40+mil either. i for one have no problem giving Armstrong a chance with WH What i do know he is strong and very quick.

Does anyone know the cost to bring Armstrong to WH?

Bideford, it’s not even confirmed yet, but all clubs will rack the price up when we are interested especially in this short window? Just hope it’s true as we need help for Antonio up front👍⚒⚒.

Article back in November quoted Blackburn ceo Steve Waggot saying they value Armstrong around 25m.

Iron, you’re from the NE, he played for Newcastle as a young lad, any views on him? £25m, that’s a lot of money, but of course whatever a club quotes that the starting point, we all know it’s easier to come down than go up! We do the same when we sell a House? It’s a sales technique!

I think a lot of toon fans wanted to hold on to him he wasn't really given loads of opportunities from what I recall.

Funnily enough Chelms we are pretty local same school, I'd occasionally play football with his brother as he was on the same team as my cousin.

Iron, thanks for the info, that’s interesting👍Unless you are outstanding, your opportunities will be less unfortunately, especially in the PL?
I don’t think we should get to hung up on the Hugill situation! We have several examples of ex Championship successes, as do other clubs, e. g. Maddison at Leicester as just one.
I see Newcastle have a sell on clause with Blackburn, so that inflates the fee as well!
Thanks again for the info Iron👍👍⚒⚒⚒⚒.

He played 15 games for Newcastle in the Premier League without bothering the scorers. Hope he has improved as we have seen scoring in the Championship and the Premier League are two different things.

No bother chelms at the time they had Rondon, joselu, gayle and he probably didn't really suit rafa benitez or Bruce's style of play. Majority of the time he was loaned out but his goal scoring record in championship and league 1 is impressive.

He definitely has enough quality to score goals in the Premier league and make the step up as you mentioned with maddison you could tell he was quality. Its a risk though he's getting regular football there and he might struggle to get it here if Antonio stays fit although I can't see that happening especially considering we are supposed to be easing him back in but he's played 80 odd minutes twice and the full 90 over the past couple weeks if that.

Sdl, he was only 17 then and the majority of those appearances were from the bench his finishing, movement, pace agility is all very good might be abit on the short side for Moyes though.

Don’t get me wrong if he comes I hope he is a success, I am just worried about Championship strikers as they have not done well at other clubs as well.

Our track record on strikers is what worries me Sdl not where they come from. I think you could make a case for as many strikers that can't step up there are as many that have and you could probably make that case with signings from other league's aswell. Its probably more Crucial they fit the style of play.

I am not a Armstrong fan, he tried with Newcastle and did nothing! Diangana was decent in championship but has done nothing in premiership and everyone thought we were mad to sell him at £18 mill!
I’d take a chance on dia if available.
