King Posted June 6, 2016 Report Share Posted June 6, 2016 Here's another linked with us. Newcastle United will decide the next step of Adam Armstrong’s career after this summer’s Under-19 European Championships in Germany. The 19-year-old spent last season on loan at Coventry City and netted 20 goals in League One. United had planned to send him out on a temporary switch again for the 2016/17 season with the Sky Bet Championship deemed the most natural option for the Geordie youngster. However, Newcastle’s relegation from the Premier League means they are unlikely to loan Armstrong to a rival club in the same division. His first-team chances could also be limited if Aleksandar Mitrovic, Ayoze Perez and Papiss Cisse stay at St James’ Park and Rafa Benitez brings in the experienced and proven goalscorer he is looking for this summer. Whether another season at Coventry would fit the bill for Armstrong and his representatives remains to be seen – although the Sky Blues would not take much persuading to take him back for another year. Newcastle will want to see Armstrong get plenty of game-time under his belt next season and would prefer that to be first-team action. The Chronicle understands that former Newcastle star Lee Clark would be interested in taking Armstrong on a season-long loan deal in the Scottish Premier League with Kilmarnock. Kilmarnock stayed up by winning the relegation play-offs in the SPL but Armstrong would be guaranteed game-time at Rugby Park. Clark is rebuilding the East Ayrshire club and with a host of matches against Celtic and Rangers coming up for Killie, the young striker would get the experience of playing in front of huge crowds in some high-profile games next season. Armstrong played 45 minutes of England Under-19s 2-0 loss to Mexico over the weekend. England play one more game against Mexico before the Euro finals in Germany where they face Croatia, France and Holland this summer http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/newcastle-facing-big-decision-adam-11428995?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skygod Posted June 6, 2016 Report Share Posted June 6, 2016 (edited) Armstrong scored 20 goals in 38 (2) appearances for Coventry City last season which, for an 18/19 year-old, is some going. cf Lee Novak's 14 goals in 32 (3). Would be quite some acquisition, I think. Edited June 6, 2016 by skygod 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killie_Damo Posted June 6, 2016 Report Share Posted June 6, 2016 Armstrong would be a great signing - would get 20 goals easily up here 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jam1869 Posted June 6, 2016 Report Share Posted June 6, 2016 Highly doubt we will get him, but if we do, what a signing 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullitt Posted June 6, 2016 Report Share Posted June 6, 2016 Some of those goal were nothing short of ridiculous! If there's any chance we could get him on loan then it's something we should be exploring. Don't underestimate the draw of having him play in six Old Firm games a season... as a parent club getting him in front of big crowds and on televised matches is every bit as beneficial as him playing for Coventry. I also genuinely believe that Brendan Rogers appointment will raise the profile of the league in Scotland, and encourage players to come. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonboy Posted June 6, 2016 Report Share Posted June 6, 2016 The Newcastle Chronicle is very close to the Club (often criticised for being too close actually). For it to mention the link it must be serious. Not to say its a certainty, but the reasons they give are probably under consideration 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

piffer Posted June 6, 2016 Report Share Posted June 6, 2016 Looks a great prospect from that footage. The type of player who would prosper against some of the big clumsy defenders in Scotland. From the footage I'd guess we'd need to play him in a two maybe with a target man or find a passer in the number 10 to play the through balls he seemed to thrive on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craigieboy Posted June 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2016 (edited) Good sign with new striker Denny Johnstone and Adam Armstrong (if they move Kilmarnock) Any new about striker Souleymane Coulibaly?

piffer Posted June 6, 2016 Report Share Posted June 6, 2016 Not many of the players mentioned fit the mound I was expecting Clark to go for. From listening to him I thought we'd be in for guys similar to Draper at ICT, Taylor at Aberdeen even Magennis. Big strong athletic players. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan1el Posted June 6, 2016 Report Share Posted June 6, 2016 Exactly the type of signings we should be making, what a difference a summer makes, this time last year I dreaded to read the transfer thread Even if we don't get him it shows you the net is cast further than Tynecastle 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gdevoy Posted June 6, 2016 Report Share Posted June 6, 2016 The first competitive game is not much more than 5 weeks away against Clyde. So I'd expect some positive news on signings quite soon.

Bhamkillieken Posted June 6, 2016 Report Share Posted June 6, 2016 If Newcastle want Armstong to play in the championship wont they just play him? Cant see him signing here just because Clarks a geordie! I would like it though! A million miles away from signing the lad Cobain who has no professional first team experience. Sadly I think I might know which is the more likely! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Johnstone would be more of a back-up if Armstrong falls through. As for money, Newcastle would pay most or all of his wages, I think. It's all about the best experience for the player and not who can subside the biggest part of his earnings. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
