I agree, but bringing Armstrong in would be a gamble similar to Jordan Jones. I like Armstrong and think he could offer something but unless we moved squad players on our next recruitment out wide needs to be of quality. Would Armstrong offer anything more than Wright, Matondo or McCausland? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrLaudrup 4,690 Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 Would affect the confidence of McAusland in my opinion. He has more 1st team experience of course but we’ve just tied McAusland down and look to develop him in that position. If we didn’t have Wright for the squad it would be different but I don’t see the need at this time. If Wright moves on I’d look to sign him.

toolongawake 1,205 Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 Its a no for me. If we'd an established pro in that position then I'd be more willing to bring in someone of his ilk as backup. But our squad is screaming out for quality additions, someone a real step up from Wright, Matondo and McCausland. Armstong is not it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

People want a model where we buy players doing well in smaller countries at reasonable prices and, on paper at least, he fits that profile. Decent record for them, has impressed at Europa League level and has scope to improve more. If he’s shite or his data doesn’t show that he is then fine, move on, but there’s no harm in looking, and it’s actually what a good recruitment team should be doing.

SkylineBlue 23,721 Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 He's a better option than Wright or Matondo. If we can get him at a decent price I'd take him because he'd do the business in the SPL. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Specky Forum Organiser 65,302 Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 Yes. He's better than McCausland as it stands. SkylineBlue and 6superbarry6 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nine goals and seven assists last season in the league. Three and five this season so far. This is for a Kilmarnock team who won't dominate the ball as much as we do. Other than one season, he has better stats than Ryan Kent. Amokachi, The Specky Forum Organiser and 6superbarry6 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t speak for the others buying into this idea, but I’ve been talking about this guy for quite a while, not just because of the game yesterday. Absolutely better than Matondo or Wright, and he has a gallusness, a swagger we’ve missed at Ibrox for a long time.

Gaffbear 4,099 Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 We need a number 9 next month . McCausland is a perfect right winger plus matondo can fill in there too . Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ayro 3,044 Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 He’s a decent player, looked good in the highlights from yesterday and contributes with goals and assists. The negatives for me are he’s never stood out against us when LB is one of our weaker areas, iirc he got a pretty stupid red against us when he seemed more focused on being a dickhead than the game itself, lazy comparison but a bit Jordan Jones. It would depend on fee and the longer term plan for the RW position. BlueboyG 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laudrupsleftfoot 11,135 Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 Armstrong’s a decent player but don’t see the point in signing him at all when we have McCausland. If we are going to strengthen there you’d hope it would be genuine quality. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

psb07158 33,494 Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 Does well in a Killie team that plays almost entirely through him / long balls knocked down to him etc, in a counter-attacking system that gives lots of space. Absolutely miles off the level we need. Didn't Jordan Jones have similar output at Killie? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep what’s the worst that could happen, oh sorry forgot what we signed in the summer. We should really wait til someone else picks him up and he goes onto bigger and better things and then we can get guys starting threads to say we should be signing from the SPL but when you mention it they get slaughtered. Yes let’s see what he’s got? We need to be a bit braver wi signings. BlueboyG and 6superbarry6 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And what we don’t have at the moment is an out ball due to pure pace, might be MacAusland hope so, might be Matondo but another either injured or lacking belief, Wright an enigma. He might actually be worth signing as appears to read a line ok get him one on one training with Dessers and it could improve him no end.
