Could be right. I haven't seen him opre-seasin.Nothing against the lad but One isn't up to Championship standard either. He tries hard and all that, he makes the most of his ability and there were flashes in pre-season but whenever he's in the Championship he looks out of his depth.
Don't ask me what Tom Cannon does, because I don't know, but One doesn't do much either. It's not like we'd be swapping out dead weight for a matchwinner, it's one form of anonymity for another.
We paid 10mil?!Overweight and can't keep up - no idea how he gets preferred over Soumare ...
Oh , wait , £10m fee like Cannon

nowhere near that. They were asking £10m for him last year, it’ll be around a 1/4 of that with some big add ons.We paid 10mil?!
Well if they’re goal related we’ll be fine…nowhere near that. They were asking £10m for him last year, it’ll be around a 1/4 of that with some big add ons.
Cannon is AI recruited so the board love him . I expect Chris will move him on in Jan to bring in. 1 or 2 wide players & a target nan.
That can’t be true, wilder only signs the good players and the board/bettis/des taylor signed all the bad ones.This is what Wilder said, after signing Cannon:-
Wilder says Cannon is someone he's tracked for a while and is a signing which ticked all the boxes with everyone involved in the process.
Wilder said: "It's a super signing for us. Somebody we have tracked for a long time and known about for a long time. He's a young hungry player, position specific, we needed someone who could play on the shoulder and stretch the game, which he does. As soon as we talked about our enthusiasm to get this done, speaking to the boy, he knows what we're all about, and he played here for Stoke earlier in the season. He knows the club are ambitious and I thank the board and the co-chairmen for the backing and support, not just with this signing, but the whole process of what we've been going through and how they've wanted to support me during the window. We're all on the same page with this signing. Great age, we believe he'll play a big part and hopefully a successful second part of this season and beyond as well."
Cannon has shown great pedigree already in the infancy of his career, with Wilder stating there's plenty more to come as he looks to further develop another talented young player.
He added: "It's not just a signing for now, it is one which can take us forward in the ambitions which we have.
"He's an English number nine that stretches the game. I think there's always talk about players wanting to come to feet, he wants to run down the side. Pace and physicality and directness in his play, we know what a good finisher he is as well. There's development in the player, we are coaches - and I'm a manager - who tries to improve players as well, so there has to be that acceptance from the player to be better as well, which, after speaking to him, he's ambitious too. He can hopefully realise all his ambitions here with us and for me it is a really good signing."

Wilder on Cannon signing
Blades boss Chris Wilder believes new signing Tom Cannon has all the attributes to be a big hit at Bramall Lane.www.sufc.co.uk
Thank fuck for that. Bad enough we spunked that on Cannon.nowhere near that. They were asking £10m for him last year, it’ll be around a 1/4 of that with some big add ons.
Combine that with the fact we also have a midfield who contribute very little defensively and we’re in big trouble!Biggest problem is we have a midfield full of players who contribute absolutely nothing offensively. Peck and Matos offer no forward threat whatsoever. Ohare buzzes around but when push comes to shove what does he actually do? That leaves Gus who is having a bit of a mare but gets double teamed a lot as hes our only creative player.
Until Blaster comes back to help out I fear for us going forward. Added to this Campbell is a different player to last season, Cannon is absolutely rubbish, our wide players are average at best and we dont have a long ball outlet.
Apart from that we are absolutely fine going forward![]()
The one we signed wondered why he didn’t have to pay his subs before the game…View attachment 222509
Did we sign the wrong Tom Cannon? That would explain a few things.

Tom Cannon - Goal Machine
If that's what Wilder really sees everytime Cannon is on the pitch then Wilder needs to go to Specsavers.....That can’t be true, wilder only signs the good players and the board/bettis/des taylor signed all the bad ones.
I must admit it was a bit odd watching this video and seeing a confident, goal-hungry, free-scoring, two-footed goal machine compared with the empty shell of a broken footballer who turns out for us every game. What the fuck happened?So if he can score, what do we need to do as a team to put him in the position to have the best chance? Naive, I know but it sounds like a plan![]()
If that's what Wilder sees in Cannon then FFS don't give him money to spend.
It's conveniently a COH/"AI" signing whenever there's criticism of the manager's recruitment.People keep saying its COH signing but Cannon seems very much Wilder's.
You lose your best players, the ones capable of playing in a first tier league when you end up in a 2nd tier league for more than 1 season.Yes, well done Hecky for signing him. There’s no surprise that Preston are now on an upwards trajectory with a fraction of our resources. Stupid decision to bin him off when we did. Just one in a series of stupid decisions that have led us to where we are. But Vinnie didn’t want to be here.

He's not a good footballer but he's extremely athletic and covers ground well. Don't see the same as you there at allOverweight and can't keep up - no idea how he gets preferred over Soumare ...
