CONFIRMED Tom Cannon signs until 2029, with a year option

[NerdyBlade]

He can't get a game at Norwich.

Over 80 games from 2022-2024. Isn't playing much this season, wouldn't be playing much for us but again, unlike Cannon, has a proven record at this level

 

[McDonagh Blade]

The thing with Stoke is they're a poor side now, under Pelac (apparently not under Shawcross)
Under Schumacher they were much better and even then he didn't look great

Nothing last season or this season has me convinced he's worth the outlay - I'd rather go with a more proven option like a McBurnie, or a last resort back up of a Barnes, or go and get someone with a bit of something about them and a track record

I understand your thinking but who is available and we can afford for 7/8 million. I don't think we will be able to loan anyone of that ability. Ben Bereton is not the central striker if anyone asks. Great if we can get him to play left cutting in giving Burrows space.

Morris, Adebayo, Forss, that bloke at Preston who got a bit bitey

Squad filler then, Wilder said we want players of quality what go straight into the team.

And Cannon goes where? Because he's not starting quality

He get in a poor stokes team. We don't need 35 year olds,

He gets in because they have literally nobody else, not because of his talent. Their only other decent strike option is on loan at Walsall

Why doesn't Barnes get in a poor Norwich side then?

 

[NerdyBlade]

Why doesn't Barnes get in a poor Norwich side then?

Because they have Crnac and Sainz?

I tell you what - explain to me what Cannon offers that Barnes doesn't other than youth?

Goals...in a poor team

Goals...in a poor team

Ah yes because Barnes has never done that? Hell, he's even scored in the prem

And Cannon has scored 9 goals this season - yet you seem to be forgetting that 4 of them were in one game, and several of them have been pens. So other than scoring goals against shite teams (which we've been able to do without him), what does he improve/add?

think thats a very exciting pairing for us down the left burrows and brereton and getting hamer in to central midfield we will just have to wait and see if cannon comes in but if he does and we pay leicester 7m for him i think he goes straight in maybe wilder is thinking of going with 2 strikers and tweaking the system

Does this mean sargeant doesn’t play either?

 

[NerdyBlade]

Does this mean sargeant doesn’t play either?

Isn't Sargeant currently injured?

 

[NerdyBlade]

How many has barnes got this season?

Nowt in 7 games, while Cannon has 9 - however 4 of them were against Portsmouth, so it's not like he's prolific either

 

[loyalblade95]

Does this mean sargeant doesn’t play either?

Injured, that's why Barnes is getting minutes as a substitute with that Crnac as first choice.

Some people saying that he should be back around end of January though, so that might change potential deals.

He’s playing or was for a dog shit side. I don’t get your view at all especially as you’re saying barnes would be better. He might have been better 3 years ago but he is a 10 minute camel piece now surely

 

[Eric_Brooks]

Isn't Sargeant currently injured?

Not sure, you seem to be the expert on all things MSP, Norwich and cannon

I don't want Barnes, but my argument is that if we're getting a striker that isn't good enough to start and is coming off the bench, go with a cheaper option.

Cannon is not worth the money and has done nothing to prove that he is

And when sargeant is back, does that mean barnes won’t get any minutes?

If he comes guessing 6m say, he ain’t a bench warmer

God the MSP thing will follow me forever

Norwich was a Google, Cannon is because my GFs family are Stoke season ticket holders so I watch them with her on TV - which tbh gives me more then enough exposure to him to be able to offer a well reasoned and informed comment

 

[Frank the tank]

And, is Wilder working on his own identifying targets from his out of date Rolla-dex or is Des working with / vetting / identifying targets?

Who. Are you asking ?

 

[NerdyBlade]

If he comes guessing 6m say, he ain’t a bench warmer

Why is he worth 6mil? Would we not be better finding someone more proven for that cost? Or someone with a higher ceiling?

 

[Eric_Brooks]

Do tell?

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

What number of goals will Cannon have to score for Shit Stoke this season to not be considered shit? 25? Because he's easily on course for more than 15. Which nobody in our squad will be near

 

[Eric_Brooks]

My feeling is that this is a Jamie Hoyland choice who will know a lot about him from his Everton days. Surely you can see the potential, he is only 21/22.
