Outgoing? Tom Cannon

[mattbianco1]

Is Danny Hall suggesting that Tom Cannon is a striker?

 

[Bladeslad89]

This would be Utd levels of stupidity to let Cannon out on loan and leave us with only Campbell and Ings as our only strikers. There’s no way either of those stay fit for the entirety of the season, it’s even plausible that they are at some point both injured (knowing our luck in the same game) we have to have a replacement regardless of what we think of Cannon.

 

[Bladesman]

Any replacement for Cannon involves spending some £££.

This is further proof that wilder should never set foot inside this club again. Absolute liability. And his cult wonder why he got the boot.

People complaining that we need a replacement. A replacement for what exactly? What has this lad done since he got here? Wiped out Anel in the play off final. That’s about it

 

[blade_11]

Get him out and use the Osula sell on for a replacement

 

[Macfarlane21]

Majority of wages covered and we bring in another striker? Yes please.

Unless this has been in the works, which it may well have been. It really won't give us long to sort a replacement. Just can't see us bringing in anyone that will give us that warm fuzzy feeling, considering it will have to be a permanent with our loan spots likely to be gone with Ogbene

 

[Ron_Justice]

Majority of wage? Needs to be all of it, 10 mill striker they are getting

They're getting a Striker that we could have ended up potentially paying £10M for. Assuming certain caveats were met. I suspect he's only actually cost us half that.

Nobody knows all guesswork

Ricky Holmes
Chris Hussey
Ryan Leonard
Tom Cannon
Samir Carruthers
etc

Wilder signed some cracking players but he had more than his fair share of absolute stinkers.

Agree, but you could also make a couple of teams of the shite Ferguson bought for Man U and Wenger for Arsenal.

 

['Doc' Pace my hero]

Re Cannon’s potential loan,we are “Exploring a late striker move so we are not left short” it wouldn’t be hard to find one that was more productive than Cannon.
However,it is quite likely that McBurnie,Brewster and Cannon will score thirty goals between them this season,tragic isn’t it.

And they’d finish top 8 in the prem

Having Cannon or not having Cannon amounts to the same thing.

 

[Bladeinleeds]

Hearing Wrexham have a forward that’s started well and is scoring goals for them????

 

[Greasy Chap Butty]

He nearly got his toe to that cross, it's in his highlights reel.

 

[TJ blade]

Win/win. We save on his wages and maybe he regains a bit of confidence

He needs more than confidence mate, maybe an A-Z on how to play football might help. The lunatics what scouted him probably should have had a look at it as well

 

[Davalon]

We can’t have three players for every position. Campbell, Ings and One is enough.

Not if a new manager wants a different set up with two proper strikers

 

[Ron_Justice]

Nobody knows all guesswork

Sure, but there is no way we payed £10M up front. No deal is done that way these days. Just watch Sky Sports today and notice the amount of 'Option to', 'Rising to', etc. in deals. Not to mention the structured payments of deal as well. Not saying we don't have to account for the money owed (we know better than most the consequences of not) but there is no such thing as an up front cash deal these days. It's all spreadsheets and moving values across columns A, B, C, ------> Z.

 

[Millhousesblade1889]

But he's shite.... If we can stop paying him, then we should.

Until he goes elsewhere and remembers how to score again like the rest of our strikers.

Campbell is injury prone, Ings is 33 and hasn't played for years, One isnt ready. If Cannon going allows us to sign someone else I'm all for it but I'm not sure it does

I dunno mate, 15 for McBurnie and 15 for Brewster is quite unlikely

 

[Bladeslad89]

But deep down we all know he’d go to Preston and bag for fun

As someone else said, having him here and not having him here amounts to the same thing for us. I'll add, not having him here has the added benefit of more money in the current account.

Only if he gets a job on tills at Tesco

Sorry,replace Cannon with Keiffer Moore.

There was a player in there at one point. He came with a pedigree, its impossible for strikers to look good in this side we dont create anything & he's not a right winger.

You just know as well as I do once he goes somewhere else he'll start scoring again

 

[Railway Blade]

Don't mind if he goes. We don't need a striker anyhow. We don't have any shots.

Don't know about that. He scored 9 for Stoke, yes. BUT, 4 of those were in a single game. one was a penalty and one was a direct free kick.

 

[Macfarlane21]

Who would be a realistic replacement? Let's say we get 3m from the Osula deal and and COH chuck in 1m. Who would be a genuine improvement on Cannon / the squad for 4m max?

 

[Sharrow Snuff Mill]

We need an option of a tall, strong forward as a target man for crosses in the air from wingers, and as someone to hold the ball up when cleared from defence. At the moment we have been playing Campbell in the role of central striker on his own. Both him, and Danny Ings, would benefit from playing off a genuine big target man as a front two.
Selles needs also to decide how to prevent teams exploiting us down the wings, as all opponents are likely to do that having watched the M'boro game.

Awonyi?

The topic has been spoken about a million times on here, I’m not saying I think he’s any good. What I do believe though is we need more options than what we’ve got if he goes.

I dont think we’ll replace him & I don’t think two strikers is enough. One isn’t ready at all
