    [Albion] Aaron Connolly - joining Hull permanently

    This is all ifs and buts though; we don’t have a peak Murray. The clubs approach is to not spend tens of millions on a supposedly proven striker but take calculated punts on them and also have midfielders who can score. To be fair, it’s a system which seems to be working as we have achieved our...

    [Albion] Aaron Connolly - joining Hull permanently

    Maybe, maybe not. We’ll never know. I also completely disagree with the mindset that if you’re a lesser team you shouldn’t try things teams stacked with world class players do; or am I missing your point? Thankfully none of our players or coaching staff have this attitude and I would suggest...

    Man City the EPL title.

    [Albion] Aaron Connolly - joining Hull permanently

    Barber has said the club don’t necessarily see the value in spending huge amounts on strikers, and that they will look for value but also have a playing style which can get goals from other areas. I don’t think they’ve given up, more they don’t want to be a hostage to an expensive proven goal...

    [Albion] Aaron Connolly - joining Hull permanently

    First thing he did when he went to Boro was get a huge tattoo of himself scoring a goal and his partner plastered their swanky new accommodation all over Insta. This wasn’t quite the reaction I was hoping for. Venice seemed ideal, and the noises he made before his departure suggested he’d...

    [Albion] Aaron Connolly - joining Hull permanently

    Regarding the club-should-have-loaned-him-out argument….we did loan him out once it was realised this might be a better option.

    [Albion] Aaron Connolly - joining Hull permanently

    To be fair, how many other clubs produce excellent strikers?

    [Albion] Aaron Connolly - joining Hull permanently

    But what about the subsequent loan failings? Why are all these turning to shit as well? Things don’t always work out, so why didn’t he go away on loan and work on things. I understand the pressure, but as with everyone in life, sometimes things don’t go to plan and we have to have a rethink...

    Agree. And the club’s pathway, processes etc has allowed other players to flourish. Not ever player will make it.

    [Albion] Aaron Connolly - joining Hull permanently

    I tend to agree with this. And when he was put into the first team squad it wasn’t like he was playing each and every Saturday. And it’s not like his career is over. He just needs to sit down and think very carefully about his next move……like many of us have to.

    [Albion] Aaron Connolly - joining Hull permanently

    We’ve seen the last of him; he won’t be putting penne to paper on another Albion deal.

    I think he’s pasta his best.

    I find the idea of Arron Connolly living in Venice hilarious.

    It’s a cannel-loan-i move.

    [Albion] Aaron Connolly - joining Hull permanently

    He certainly has the ability to be a professional player. But to be the best player he can be, he needs to alter his lifestyle. What level this 'best player' is, I hope, remains to be seen but the way he is currently carrying on it will be quite low.

    [Albion] Aaron Connolly - joining Hull permanently

    I think this is fairly obvious?

    [Albion] Aaron Connolly - joining Hull permanently

    He could achieve a lot of this by changing his lifestyle choices.

    “Wow Aaron Connolly getting booed while being subbed on. He has to be the worst loan signing Boro have made since the previous loan signing Boro made (James Léa Siliki) ” https://twitter.com/boro_millsy/status/1519413857567051781?t=wK8wcilNDmD5ibKiK27XJQ&s=19 Oh dear.
