Best player at Derby, best player at PNE. Is another loan at a lower level really going to push him to next level?
If he goes on loan it has to be another PL club or similar level abroad although I am not sure about that myself either.
If I were Moyes I'd play him every week, he is going to be fantastic.
Who knows we might not even have him that long if one of the clubs of infinite wealth and spend come calling.
Just depends on if Moyes will play him every week or not.
If he's going to get 10 starts this season in the premier league Vs 30+ at a promotion chasing championship team, then I'd imagine the latter would benefit his development more.

Yeah he needs game time, if it was me I'd just play him as much as possible.
With Moyes who the fuck knows what he will do, he recalled him in January, played him on the wing then dropped him.
Top management Davey.

We also need to play Rohl as he looks extremely promising too... I'd be more inclined to play Merlin tbh given he's 24 and we've spent money on him.
Armstrong has plenty of time on his hands, and a year playing every game at championship level would still be really beneficial to his development.

We can agree to disagree and I don't think you are wrong at all, I'd go with Armstrong but both are in a similar postion of needing minutes in the legs in a consistent postion and both look to be capable of developing well.

Yep, and how refreshing to have this problem for once!

The only one we have in the centre who chooses to open up his stride and move forward with purpose with the ball.
Bags of energy and composure.

He's just the most natural footballer you've ever seen.
Gives and receives the ball in any area of the pitch, always looking to move forward into space with and without the ball. Lovely, tall, elegant mover across the ground.
Properly got one here.

Prepared to get a bit of stick for this again, but it’s up to Garner and Norgard (so?) to battle it out for the position next to this boy.

I missed the first half, but I didn't see much from him in the second in all honesty.
He certainly looks promising and a great asset for us. It's nice to have some talent to call on, or start, so it's a win/win either way atm
