Daniel Armer

[top1whoisman]

17-year old left-footed CB, eligible for both England and Scotland. He’s been very good whenever I’ve seen him play. Composed on the ball, uses his body well.

Perhaps the one thing I’d want to see him exposed to is playing against physically stronger, quicker and taller strikers. But that will come with time.

Armer was one of the U18s players who trained with the first team this week.

I would love us to bring through a top level CB. Seems to be the one position we’ve struggled to nurture as a club.

It definitely has. Munro and Armer look promising, but it’s early days still. Kukonki has a lot of potential too, definitely see him as a LCB, especially in a back three.

Good to hear. As we’re now three at the back definitely so much more room for youth CB to come through.

Partly because our best talents in those positions had injury issues where they missed a lot of football. Hopefully the current lot can break that curse.

It's not just that - this is something that has happened in more or less every club over the last 10-15 years. There has been so much focus on attacking skills that defending has been neglected. I can easily name 20 very good strikers or attacking midfielders - but I would struggle to name 10 really high quality central defenders in the world right now

Quietly gone about his business and just keeps things ticking over. He seems like a steadying presence and composed for his age, both in character and on the pitch. Being left footed as well will aid him I think in relation to those just a bit older, namely Jackson and Kingdon.
