Got MOM from BBC last night and receiving rave reviews from Preston fans.

Comparing him to Jude Bellingham and some worried that he will be coming back in January.

Adult tickets £10, children £1 for their league game against Swansea City on Wednesday 5th November, if you fancy a closer look at him.

I realised that Lewis Dobbin and Thierry Small are both there too - both ex academy players

Not sure why Thierry Small didn’t kick on, he looked like a wonder kid when he was coming though

Only watched his little half hour cameo last night but he looks like a lot of academy kids coming through that stand out at 14 to 16 in that he's big, fast, powerful and athletic.

But unfortunately not very good at kicking a ball.

So as they get older and play in men's leagues where virtually all the other players are also good athletes, they get found out and don't kick on.

The odd one like antonee robinson become more polished but the vast majority will just fall by the wayside and find a level on the lower leagues.

A full season at Preston playing 90 minutes most games will do him much better than picking up the odd minute here and there at Everton for the rest of the season. He should be pushing for a start next season though.

Let's not get carried away here lads. One fella said that was the best performance held ever seen apart from flair players like.....drumroll.....McGeady.

This thread is textbook getting carried away and I'm all for it. I've heard Lee Carsley wears Harrison Armstrong pyjamas

I don’t want to get carried away but I’m confident he will be better than Alan Ball and Rohl better than Ballack.

Re: Harrison Armstrong

Never saw Alan Ball play but could he do it on a cold Friday night at Preston?

Seriously hope Armstong makes it all the way to the top with Everton. Nothing like having a youth player come through

Re: Harrison Armstrong

It would be wonderful.
He seems to have a really good head on him as well, wanting to be the best player he can be (same for Rohl). We can all think of some very talented players who’ve wasted their ability.

Someone on X compared him to “Stevey G”.
I fucking hope not.

Did he fall over at the most important moment in his entire Carrer or something?

Gerrard is an absolute c*ck but he was a helluva player and carried the Sh*te for about 10 years.

If he's as good as him I'll be elated.

Re: Harrison Armstrong

Haha exactly this.

I'd much rather him be a complete gobshite with an iron will to win on the pitch than yet another average player but its sound because he delivers a few food parcels for the camera's the week before Xmas.

We turned down two £20m+ bids for him last year. There was a queue of clubs wanting him on loan.

I watched the game last night solely to watch his performance, he was everywhere, demanding the ball, tackling and what I found remarkable about him was his ability to find space and link the play, he'll be a regular in our side next season. Hard to believe he's only 18.

I watched the Preston game last night. He was superb. He just seemed to be everywhere and his ability to cover the ground is incredible. I don’t know the detail of his loan agreement but I think he would improve our midfield now, allowing Garner to move into right back.

"he just seemed to be everywhere" - a repeat of Grealish's praise of Adam Wharton at Palace; if he's half as good as Wharton we've a real talent on our hands

Yup I got bored of Leeds game and out the second half on, scarily good. The cat is out the bag with him though, similar to Ndiaye.

I'd heard there's a recall option in January to cover the African Cup of Nations absence of Gueye.

That would be great if true.

Re: Harrison Armstrong

Gueye’s time as a starter may be nearing an end with Armstrong, Rohl, KDH

Rohl is apparently the fastest player at the club, he’s like an elite level sprinter in training. I was told he might be the fastest player in the league, which surprised me.

He'll be playing soon you would think. He's right up Moyes street. Big quick decent on the ball.

Re: Harrison Armstrong

Agreed about Gueye,African nations cup will be his last .

It’s his last season as a regular starter deffo. Possibly his last season tbf

As well as Armstrong, Rohl, KDH there is Garner too. Alcaraz can play deeper too I reckon.

Throw in Grealish, Ndiaye Dibbling (McNeill even) then that is a good midfield.

Branthwaite, Tarks, O brien, at the back & Pickford in goal

Please to god we find a striker to do the yak/super kev bit and that’s a really good team.

It’s top quality stuff this!

That gambling hank from Saudi Arabia would be perfect.

Re: Harrison Armstrong

Be interesting to see what his family might think of a move to us after the racism incident a few years ago.

Re: Harrison Armstrong

He's a great player and would transform our current team.

Re: Harrison Armstrong

Add prime Yak, Baines and Coleman to that lot and we’d be challenging top 2/3.

Re: Harrison Armstrong

Now the issue is keeping them. We have to keep Ndiaye, Armstrong, Pickford, Branthwaite, KDH and Garner and build a team around them. A top forward asap would help persuade those lads to stay.

Re: Harrison Armstrong

To an extent, selling players is not a problem as long as you get good money, it’s adequately replacing them. See selling Gordon and replacing with Ndiaye.

'The time I've spent - but never feels wasted. Always something to make me arf'

Re: Harrison Armstrong

Absolutely

It’s top quality stuff this!

Re: Harrison Armstrong

Looking at those players on paper we look really powerful, I wouldn’t be putting Garner right back though, the lads playing well enough for him to keep his place there.

The way we play will he be one of the sitting two or further forward like Dewsbury Hall.

I'm MPTEFC I'll park where I like.

Re: Harrison Armstrong

He’ll be everywhere!

Re: Harrison Armstrong

He’s basically Declan rice for Moyes with rohl taking on Soucek role, European success here we come!

'The time I've spent - but never feels wasted. Always something to make me arf'

Re: Harrison Armstrong

Wow.
I particularly like the comment about how well he reads the game.

Him and Rohl midfield next year could be special.

Wow...that's a lot of praise. Really does look like we've got something a bit special.
