The Armstrong transfer didn’t happen but doesn’t mean to say he wasn’t on our list does it. | | | |

Given that he would have cost about double our entire transfer spend this season, it seems pretty unlikely he was ever a serious target. | |

I have no idea if Nixon has real information on transfers or not. One thing comes across by following him on twitter though, he seems like a bit of a cock. | |

I wonder whether Armstrong would be a target if we get promoted... Really like him, he's class | | | |

Trouble is that he's only scored in the Champ and I am not sure where he would fit into our system. Can't see it happening. SB | |

Or it could've just meant Southampton didn't want to sell one of the best strikers at Championship level when they knew they were relegated. I think the rumour originated before Southampton were relegated anyway. Had they stayed up, they probably would've sold Armstrong to a Champ side. | |

He's 28 and before this season his highest goal return at Championship level was 6 in a season. Given his cost, age and previous returns I don't think he's anything like the type of player we would look at. SB | |

He would play in either of the 3 behind the lone striker, he's an obvious upgrade on what we currently have. | | | |

He may well be an upgrade but he's also going to cost 15m and I don't think we would spend that on a 28 year old who has only really done it this season. Context is important and historically his context is that he hasn't scored many at Championship level and has never played in the PL. Given the price he would command this is important. SB | |

That's my concern entirely. This strikes me as a bit of a Daryl Murphy season for him in the context of his previous performance. No indication that he will replicate this season at Championship level, and even less indication that he'll be a significant asset in a higher league. That said, I appreciate that the Town setup looks at things very differently. If the club want him and were able to obtain him on reasonable terms, I'd certainly trust their judgement. | |

He has played in the PL? Not done great, but he has played there and he's also scored goals for Blackburn at this level, hence his move to saints. I can't see we'd spend 15m on his either way. | |

These specific posts are about Szmodics (not Armstrong) who has never played in the PL according to Wiki and hasn't scored goals at Champ level except for this season. SB | |

I can't see that he has. Highest level he's ever played has been in the Championship for Bristol City (3 appearances, no goals), Peterborough (36:6), and Blackburn (75:29). Even in lower divisions he's never scored more than 15 in a season before. | |

Not if they'd stayed up, and it was a loan, or even if they needed to clear the decks on relegation and it was a loan. | | | |

I don't remember a loan move ever being what was mooted, it was always a transfer in the region of £8m. That looks a wildly inaccurate link given that we've only spent about £4m on fees all season. | |

Someone else mentioned Szmodics, I was still talking about Adam Armstrong and he has played in the premier league and would be an upgrade on what we currently have. | | | |

Fair enough but you replied to my post which was specifically about Szmodics hence the clarification. SB | |

Szmodics wanted by some established Prem clubs anyway. Can't see we'd push the boat out for him. | |

He’s a better player than AAH, so if SS was to come in and replace him I’d be cool with that. I’m sure KM could turn him into whatever he wanted | |

They are totally different players though? Also different ages and one costs 15x the price of the other. Also seems pretty early to be looking for replacements for AAH. Perhaps your right and he will be a target, just can't see it myself. SB | |

If he was a price of £8m would quickly have had him removed from it! Didn't get any encouraging noises on that one but obviously may be one they like. | | | |
