Seems he is trying to bulk up the Under 23s squad with them all having potential to play in the first team. Yesterday a lot of the younger players were involved and there are a decent amount of friendlies for them too. Armstrong would be another Westbrooke/Bouma type signing for me
I agree its a good idea. We are sometimes blinded by the 'one of our own' type players, assuming they are better than they actually are. This way we can sign younger players of a higher level but just needing a break.
