JHRover Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 Rovers say undisclosed fee yet some saying he was out of contract this summer at Oxford, so more like compensation agreed or a fee to avoid going to a tribunal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J*B Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 Good player. Under 23 so will have to pay something - agreed it upfront rather than compo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Backroom Tom Posted June 22, 2018 Backroom Share Posted June 22, 2018 Don’t know much about this one but he seems well rated and young enough and will be a cheap addition so all looks decent on paper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garage Flower Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 I wanna reserve my judgment until I've seen him play a good few games but on paper seems exactly the kind of signing we should be making. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oldgregg86 Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 I saw him play a few times for United u23s and he always played well and stood out but never seen him play first team football. He played like a de bruyne role for Belgium. Pleased with signing. A few more of these Tony lad 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JBiz Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 Young? yes value? Less risk in a free/lower league wage match so probably but the proof is in the pudding. Position we need? Yes, an option for Evans/Smallwood Potential? Yes, rated and ex prem youth. All around looks sensible to me. Also a fantastic first name... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdamRochina Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 He starts at overall 60 on FIFA 18 ..not a good sign. Most of Oxfords squad rated higher ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ladyboys of Bank Top Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 Reading the Oxford forum it seems he's been played out wide and as a no.10. Injury prone, inconsistent but technically gifted and very good on his day seems the general consensus. We shall see. Welcome to Rovers.

Armstrong has been played in the same position for Rovers that Rothwell has played for Oxford. Armstrong has rarely played as a striker for Rovers.
