box to box?
Gana esq?
From what I’ve seen he can potentially do the lot.

However, I also thought this about Jack Rodwell, so yaknow

I hate to use him as a comparison, but heard he’s like a Slippy G type midfielder

Seems they’re beginning to worry we’re recalling him.

Leave him where he is and let him develop, even without injuries there's been a weird obsession with bringing him back. Moyes isn't known for starting youngsters, chances are he comes back and festers on the bench while Moyes does some square pegs and round holes.

The window will probably depend how Senegal do anyway, if they're out earlyish we probably won't sign anyone and even if they make the final they'll be back by about the 20th Jan.

Leave him where he is. If we have Rohl fit then he has to be above Armstrong in the pecking order anyway, so let him end the season with Preston and get games every week under his belt.

Bring him back and start him every game. Can even get Garner in at RB then.

He's absolutely ready for PL with us and he was before going on loan.

Yeah if he is brought back then he isn't going to be brought back to sit on the bench so there isn't any point discussing that.

If we end the loan early it's because he is going to be starting games

I don't think we will bring him back though.

When Moyes started Dibling in the cup it was the first time in 180 odd games that he started a teenager, and he's hardly given him a look in since then despite what we spent on him. If we bring Armstrong back he'll bench him and use him as cover, he's not going to start playing him every game.

Also, as we've seen with the shite that's come up over the last few years, that the PL is a different level to the Championship these days. Doing well there doesn't mean he's ready to play every week in the PL.

Moyes would (wrongly) start McNeil in CM over a teenage Armstrong IMO, leave him where he is

Yeah give him the year.

Just put faith in Rohl staying fit and Tim having more good games than bad.

Moyes ain't playing him ahead of Tim or Rohl or even McNeil like was said above.

Prem is a different beast and he might be good to go but Moyes isn't going to take that risk

McNeil centre mid.

That’s a horrifying prospect.

Imagine the time he would need to get the ball onto his left foot.
