[Albion] Aaron Connolly - Premier League 2 Player of the Season
- Thread starter AZ Gull
- Start date
Looks like they may have been made for each other
Looks like they probably deserve each other!
This, more than ever, somewhere quiet - even a bit boring - to knuckle down and decide whether his career will be as a PL footballer, or a lower league journeyman.
His luxury house looks in order already.

I wonder who kept custody of the houses instagram account when they split up
Also says a lot about the state of football that a young bit part player can afford to live in a place like that. Give it a couple of years and he'll be sharing a bedsit off the Lewes Road with a load students, regaling them of tales of when he was a professional footballer.

Indeed. He doesn't look the type to have saved up half his wages for a rainy day. To be fair, not many footballers do.
He should go out on loan for a few seasons to a division one side. Having said that, I'd miss his haircut.

I am sure if he unsettles the squad he will be moved either temporarily or permanently.
Footballers not very clever shocker . . . not.

I people wonder why footballers are out of touch with the common fan....
I guess this is just another generation and all part of that instant fame, instant wealth, social media driven look at me generation.
I feel lucky not have been in this generation and thankful I actually did stuff without taking photos every five minutes or going to a gig when everyone watched the band, and hardly a camera in sight. I do not envy youth of today, it all seems so fake, and I include Aaron in that statement, I fear he is going to blow it, just like Leon Knight. His girlfriend clearly has designs for social media and he could well be a stepping stone.
Head down Aaron, take a step back, distance yourself from bad influences, you have talent, you could possibly make it.
My advise talk to Lewis, talk to Murray, learn and move on.

Not seen such Bravery!
Which haircut ?

judging from the walkabout after the City game, he was shunned by a few senior players. He kept his distance from them aswell.
Plans are probably underway.
Maybe you're the new 20 goal striker then?

Where did that come from? Stay classy Swanny
Anyone on here wishing lengthy injuries for Brighton players is in my "not very clever and not very likeable" book.
I always think that judging Connolly's abillity is SO harsh on here. In his defense:
- he's 21;
- only played 17 times this season (15 of which were in the first 26 games - on twice in the final 12 and only one start);
- suffered a couple of injuries;
- he's only completed 90 mins twice (both in the first 2 months of the season);
Yes, he seems to make some bad life choices. Yes, I'd love him to score more goals. Yes, a loan move next season would be beneficial for all parties. Yes, giving him a multi-million pound contract and the no. 7 shirt was probably too early.
BUT, I still haven't seen him on the pitch anywhere near enough to judge his levels. He's the only one of our youth teamers that hasn't been through the traditional development journey and I think that lack of game time is costing him.

Bruno would be a good advisor. He really looked after himself.
Indeed.
Well, five years ago people here labelled Lewis Dunk "the new Titus Bramble" "who will never be a top player". Luckily for Aaron, people know very little. But I suppose it is fun to bash footballers and try to find every possible angle to make them look as bad as possible - probably a nice distraction from ones own failures in life. If you want to understand why society looks like it does, look no further than this thread.
