Incredible speed on that, @CR17 will be gutted Also, wonder if his move getting approved means we have won the race for a certain other forward... or signed someone no one had any idea about, I think the latter is more likely
According to the Burnley fan they struggle against teams that sit back and ask them to break them down. Since we've got pace up front with Wilson and Mayenda we may have some success with doing that
Hope he conquers his demons and gets back to enjoying his football and his life. It just wasnt to be here
I don't think we sanction that move without having someone lined up. Unless we were waiting for Abdullahi to be fit?
Wish the lad all the best. The interview he gave when he first joined was absolutely outstanding and I’ll always commend him for taking that on. Really hope it works out for him at Millwall. He’s done really well to get where he is now.
Connolly added: “When I spoke to Kristjaan, I just thanked him for the opportunity this Club gave me when many others wouldn’t. It is something I will never forget and the love I felt from the fans after my first interview until my final game is something that I will always be grateful for. Physically and mentally, I leave Sunderland in a good place and I owe a lot of that to the people at the Club, including my team-mates and the staff. I’m now ready to play games regularly and I appreciate the Club’s understanding in allowing me to pursue this opportunity. I wish everyone at Sunderland the best of luck for what I’m sure will be a memorable end to a great season.”
Like someone mentioned hopefully that has been sanctioned as we have had movement on one of our targets Wouldn't be surprised to see a Striker/Forward no one has even mentioned or even heard of then again it seems this window they are looking for players who can hit the ground running which makes domestic players more likely
I don't necessarily think we do. We still have Rusyn and Mayenda as back up to Isidor (baring in mind we are likely to switch from 2 strikers to 1 striker tomorrow night).
Been a few days since the Connolly news broke. Timing of the announcement could suggest we’ve now got someone lined up and ready, allowing the move to go through?
Not really fussed about Cannon, not seen him do anything that's made me think "wow", and his record this season isn't really that impressive when you break it down, imo. 9 goals in the league, of which 3 were penalties. Personally, I don't really count those - if he doesn't score them then most likely someone else in the squad steps up and puts it away anyway. Of the other 6, 3 were scored in a freak game against an absolutely awful Pompey side having their worst game of the year. That leaves 3 non-penalty goals in the other 21 matches he's played... not exactly prolific. I know Stoke aren't great but I haven't seen anything from him to get me excited, and don't see him making the step up to the Prem if we get promoted. Still, if Reg wants him then gotta trust his judgement!
That’s how I see it too. But I don’t personally think it’d be good having him back. Nothing against his football, but a lad who left on a massive high, and upwill likely be at his lowest confidence since he signed for us on loan, I think we’d need to rebuild him.
