Just catching up We’ve signed Connolly on a one year deal??? And people are trying to say that it’s great where doing that?? I know some on here want everything the new regime is doing to be just brilliant and great But Jesus if ehab did that thered be a melt down it’s a bizarre decision if it’s true
Rosenior seemed to imply there's some complexity behind the deal. Almost as if it protects both sides if he gets injured or performs really well
You're not the first person to say that "if it was Ehab" line. If it was Ehab, he'd have gone elsewhere after the initial loan spell because of us lowballing him on wages, and we'd have got someone out of contract at a League 2 club instead.
But it’s true isn’t it This is a bizarre decision and it doesn’t matter who made it it’s still bizarre
We've got at least 3 loan spots we can use and i still think we could lose greaves and oscar as well as longman, woods and maybe others. So i think quite a lot of changes to come. We are a project in progress. They did say the squad would be stronger and i think it will be. But i still think we might lack goals from set pieces and contributions from around the team. If greaves does go then we lose his contribution and much as i like mcloughlin and jones, i don't see them getting many from corners etc.
He played 5 games last season Chazz. If we signed him to a 3 year deal and he missed the whole season we'd be furious.
Then don’t sign him at all Whether it’s injuries or in his head We’re paying 1.2 million and wages and he won’t come cheap will he As someone else said if he’s **** it’s a massive waste If he’s good he’ll fuxk off and we’ll get **** all Utterly bizarre
I disagree Chazz, low risk for us if it goes pear shaped. And if he does well the kid seems to like rosy and the squad, maybe naive, but feel he is already showing some loyalty to us if the one year deal is about proving himself.
Did we sign Connolly because our first target(s) went elsewhere? I seen to remeber LR saying Initially that we weren’t pursuing Aron. Then all of a sudden he’s signing a 1 year deal, I know we’ve lost tetteh and that changes things but it’s hardly a like for like and we needed another forward anyway
It’s a one year loan with a loan fee paid. But structured as a signing so as not to occupy one of the loan slots. Makes more sense if regarded that way.
LR probably said we are not persuing Connelly to get him to make his mind up. He wasnt going anywhere at Brighton, and if he was holding out for money from us, or Brighton were? That would be the hand I would have played too. It's mind games, like buying a house, 'I've seen one down the next street for less than you are asking, so if you seriously want a sale.......'
