CONFIRMED Tom Cannon signs until 2029, with a year option

[Sheffsteel]

I’ve seen enough of him this season. Clearly more than any of the United scouts.

The Stoke fans said exactly the same.

He doesn’t do anything apart from score.
Give his chances and he’s a top level finishers don’t give him chances and he doesn’t contribute much.

Why bother signing any striker if you won't acknowledge the issue with giving them anything to feed off? Genuinely think we have the most idiotic scouting team in history.

Cannon doesn’t make runs so it’s hard to give him anything to feed off. A striker who just stands there with his hands in his pocket won’t get many chances.

Then Wilder should be sent to the hague if things don't improve

He’s not a lone striker then it would appear !!!

UTB

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

As long as everybody else does all his work for him then he might be OK

He’s not a championship one. League 1 at best. Leicester must be absolutely pissing themselves

..... and we spent 10m on him to play as a lone striker

Very joined up

 

[knowsnowt]

He's got his legs on inside out.

What a cunt Cannon is. Dropped shoulder then passed it to BBD to score

Hate him. Waste of money

Nobody is saying they hate him though, just that we've massively overpaid for him. Which we have.

How do you know? He’s played 2 matches FFS!

He could turn into a Brewster type waste of money or we could sell him in a couple of years for £50m!

Maybe wait a little bit before writing him off?

We paid market value for him. Which unfortunately is very high. But we didn't overpay

 

[Bladeinleeds]

Nice turn for the assist. And good for BBD to get off the mark early.

I’d like to see cannon in a side with 2 of our better attacking players creating for him in Hamer and JRS.

We’re getting closer to full strength now - which is a positive given the injuries and suspensions we’re dealing with.

Amazing how the undercover Pigs come out of the woodwork, unless it's just one with numerous different names.

There are so many of them
Needs to be a cull

 

[dillis]

Some of our fans really are odd. Haven’t been today as I’m on holiday, saw the goal which he created brilliantly. Came onto the forum and saw his thread was the most recently commented on, expected him to be getting prised. Hes getting slagged off haha . Can’t make it up.

Not the first time Wilder's been accused of 'overpaying' (Brewster's the other that comes to mind) but if he contributes to getting us over the line, work it out.....if that happy eventuality happens it's then a case of what we do with Tom, or can he be coached to improve?

Yeah, photo of your Blades tat on your avatar or you're banished.

Reyt result

I've seen him plenty more than 2 games this season, he isn't worth anything close to what we paid for him. Pretty much all Stoke and Leicester fans seem to think the same too.

 

[BrayfordsBushyBeard]

We haven’t paid £10m , that is the maximum we WILL pay ! His bit of skill won the game !
As ever UTB!

 

[CaptainMorgans]

Won us the game with the only bit of quality in the final third. Turned his man and put it on a plate for BBD at the back stick.

In the first few mins, he turned his man in the box and was dragged back by his man.
If he'd gone down it was a certain pen. If he hadn't been dragged, he'd probably have scored.

I appreciate it's only flashes of quality and he didn't hold and link the play (not really his game), but he was decisive.
That was what he was brought in for.

Anyone criticising him today, without offering the above balance, is talking out their arse.

Considering what Borough just paid for the lad from Plymouth who is a much better player than Cannon, we absolutely did.
