Emboldened by the injection of a massive £115M fee for Elliot Anderson when Nottingham Forest sold their midfield star to Manchester City, David Ornstein of The Athletic claims that Forest are 'working on a deal' to sign Harrison Armstrong for £40M plus a sell-on clause.
If true, it could represent a massive test of how The Friedkin Group view team building over the possibility for a huge financial win, selling a prodigious midfield talent for a quick and substantial profit, since he cost Everton next to nothing having graduated through the Academy.
For the player himself, however, he must know that, once Hayden Hackney, Christian Norgaard and even Tim Iroegbunam are fit, David Moyes will automatically place each one of them ahead of him based purely on experience when it comes to critical team selections.
His pathway to becoming a solid first choice in Everton's midfield is strewn with roadblocks of the club's own making, which could of itself be a rationale for the player to move to pastures new that would surely almost guarantee a first-team place at such a critical juncture in his development.

Armstrong could be our future! I wouldn't even entertain the idea of selling him. And 40 million?! What is Forest thinking?

Harrison is our modern day Martin Dobson who was pure class. Might as well pack in football if this happens.

As I said on the other thread Michael,if any truth in this then I will be finished with this club after 63 years of support
In my opinion selling Armstrong would be worse than when we sold Rooney as circumstances changed also,Rooney went to a much better club at the time.Are we that bad financially that we have to sell Armstrong ? If so,we might as well wrap the club up now.If true,qué mass demos and resignations over this. Nil satis nisi optimum my arse.
