Newcastle United have opted to leave Adam Armstrong at Coventry City until the end of the season.

And that decision indicates that Steve McClaren wants a new striker at St James’ Park this month, with Queens Park Rangers star Charlie Austin still on the radar.

However, the Magpies have inserted a recall clause into Armstrong’s temporary deal with the Sky Blues.

Armstrong’s initial deal was due to expire on January 16, but with United looking to sign a striker in the January window, McClaren is content to allow Armstrong to continue to gain experience in League One.

McClaren told the Chronicle: “I think it’s a season long loan, but we still have a recall on that whenever we want.

“But we are leaving him at Coventry for now.”

Very good news

Otis · Jan 1, 2016

Terrible news. He hasn't done anything at all for the past 4 matches and therefore must be crap and been found out.

Get rid!!!!

He's clever that McClaren. I reckon he's told Mowbray we can have Armstrong for the season, but only if we promise to sign Bigi permanently.

SkyBlue_Bear83 · Jan 1, 2016

Been expecting this, great news.

pusbccfc · Jan 1, 2016

Ei ei ei ei o, up the football league we go!

chiefdave · Jan 1, 2016

Great news, cue more complaints from other teams

Thought you couldn't recall a season long loan?

Hahha I'm supprised they are releasing bigi surely still worth a couple hundred thousand at his age ?

I've always thought you can with any player, but I don't know if him being a youth players changes if you can't ? And would it be classed as a season loan or just another 6 month one ?

I think you can put in whatever clause you want can't you?

Calista · Jan 1, 2016

Great news, but the newly-inserted 24-hour recall is potentially a problem. Can't complain though, they are letting us have a brilliant striker for the season.

If Cole and Bigi sign on permanently that would be good news too - especially Bigi, who I think could be superb if he can get fully match-fit. The benefit of Cole I think is more due to his influence on the young players, and the profile of the club.

This 24 hour recall isn't new it's always been in place like it is with any youth loan player

It isn't new, they've always had a recall option on him.

sw88 · Jan 1, 2016

Great news, but I wonder what Mr Mowbray is thinking, since he wanted to announce the decision after the Crewe game.

either way, let's hope he now finds some form, as if the loan is a brand new loan!

stevefloyd · Jan 1, 2016

Ahh well heres my 4 penny worth...it isn't new he can be recalled same as the others

Fair enough, I did find it a bit strange. I was fooled by the phrase "However, the Magpies have inserted a recall clause into Armstrong’s temporary deal with the Sky Blues". Journalists love to make everything sound like news don't they?

bawtryneal · Jan 1, 2016

So, if Kent returns to Liverpool as predicted and Bigi and Cole sign then will only leave two loanees, AA and JM
Gives TM plenty of options to strengthen the defence with loanees.
When is Willis predicted to be fit.

Up to another 2 months I think.

stevefloyd · Jan 1, 2016

I predict March 7th

Looking on the FL site it says a season long standard loan can only be recalled when the transfer window is open. Doesn't say anything about recall for youth players so they may not be covered by the same regulations.

Houchens Head · Jan 1, 2016

Cole can sod off. He's a lump of deadwood!

So does that mean Murphy could be recalled tomorrow?

stevefloyd · Jan 1, 2016

A little harsh... he hasn't performed like we want him to yet but hopefully he will come good now the pitches are getting heavier

stevefloyd · Jan 1, 2016

I wouldn't really be sad to see Cole go but the euphoria that was spread on here when we heard he was coming and the awareness of our great club on Sky Sports et al was great..

BackRoomRummermill · Jan 1, 2016

If AA stays then surely good news eh?

Nick · Jan 1, 2016

Good News. We do need to find a Plan B which could be a striker like Tudgay up top with him!

Y'know, I kind of miss Pressley...*sigh*...at least we had something to gripe about when he was around.

Someone should see if Clive Platt is available, he'll lead the forward line like a...uh...arthritic stick insect...

LastGarrison · Jan 1, 2016

Just a thought but won't this count as a "new" loan from January to the end of the season as opposed to Murphy's season long loan?

Thus meaning that the 24 hour rule can be used on Armstrong as per any other loan.

I_Saw_Shaw_Score · Jan 1, 2016

Great news, the 24 hour recall would be in there anyway think McLaren said more as a sound bite to Toon fans.

Hopefully AA can rekindle that early season form starting tomorrow!

Yep, a sound bite. I'd it gets tot he stage where they feel they have to recall Adam Armstrong then you know Newcastle must be all but relegated and it would be out of pure desperation.

Correct.

covhead1 · Jan 1, 2016

Great news, if he regains his form we will be top of the league within a month and stay there.
Happy days

skybluetony176 · Jan 1, 2016

Great news. Shame about the 24hr recall so let's hope that they sign Charley Adams and/or keep all their forwards fit.
