CONFIRMED Tom Cannon signs until 2029, with a year option

[1973Blade]

Great play for the goal, wish we got it out wide more often.

 

[fifty shades of blade]

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

whitaker a much better player than cannon is a ridiculous take

What are you basing that statement on then given Whittaker has 25 goals in the Championship from 122 appearances and Cannon has only scored 6 fewer in less than half the games??

 

[PotterLog]

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.

It’s not your fans mate, it’s the player. It’s what you’re going to get.

What makes him better?

 

[AWetFlannel]

You obviously don't know our fans well enough.

Possibly, that remains to be seen.

As for Whittaker, yes he can be very good, but plays in a different position, and in half of the games he's on the team sheet he's practically invisible.

That would not have gone down well here.

 

[ATL Recs]

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

We’d have picked up three Cannons at least in Europe for 10 million and the same wage of one UK Cannon would pay for three European ones

 

[FriethBlade]

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.

Backing yourself into a corner mate. I can feel it already, u r watching our matches hoping he fucks up so u can tell everyone I told you so and get some kind of pleasure from 'being right'

He's won us 2 points today so why not enjoy it rather than feeling you have to keep saying i told u so if he misses a half chance?

 

[BrayfordsBushyBeard]

Didn’t we try that last year ATL ?? How many are still at the club ?
As ever UTB !

Lol

 

[Nedski]

I was underwhelmed by his signing and I've been underwhelmed by what I've seen (both for Stoke and us). I know our tactics don't help but he had time, space and options and smashed it in to row z.

I'm not going to write him off, but I've got very low expectations.

Whittaker has been the worst player in his position this season
Cannon is leagues top scorer

 

[mattbianco1]

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

Hate him. Waste of money

Shit myself then. Wondered what I'd said

 

[Booker4]

Cannon's just won us the game today with the way he creates space for himself and then puts in a lovely cross on his left foot (Cannon is two footed btw) If we get promoted and Cannon plays his part then he's already paid the fee back.

It's his second game today too and already we're seeing an end product.

He's not been involved much, but won us the game...
That's what he's here for.

Appreciate you're just engaging in the debate, but it's odd timing to be singling Cannon out in any way after he's won us the points?

 

[FinchleyBlade]

He absolutely is. Whitaker actually has pace. 20 goals last season.

United partially signed him to stop Sunderland getting him. Sunderland will get a new striker and the attributes of who they get verses cannon will go a long way to deciding the top 2

Great little drop of the shoulder, he’ll be decent when we start playing to his strengths. If we’re going for gritty 1 goal wins every week he’ll wish he went elsewhere.

3 this season, compared to cannon's 9. Different type of players anyway, whittaker plays as a wider type.of forward while cannon is more of a poacher.

Course they did mate- that’s how multi-million pound business football clubs operate isn’t it.

Sure he’ll be feeling just fine.

If only someone could have magic’d our Academy into Cat 1 at the same time as this established European scouting network and data analysis infrastructure which has appeared overnight, that would have been great.

 

[Houston_Blade]

Sure he’ll be feeling just fine.

At the moment I’m sure he’s fine, he’s setup the winning goal today. I’d love to see us play a style of football that brought players like Cannon into the game a bit more but practically we need to get promoted so if we 1 nil every game that’s fine for the purpose of this season, beyond that we need a reinvention.

‘He’ll wish he went elsewhere’ - this is just needless hyperbole.

At some point you’re going to have a think about what you’re doing with your life and decide against this.

 

[Houston_Blade]

‘He’ll wish he went elsewhere’ - this is just needless hyperbole.

We’ll see, at the moment it looks to me a similar type of signing to Leon Britton in a Blackwell team.

Like I say I hope we can start playing to his strengths and get him some goals.

 

[Moan? Nope-I saw Longhorn]

Aye
Traore
Slimane
& Larouchi

He,s just outed himself wi this one by saying United instead of We.
