McCarthy is bullsh*ting - he said the exact opposite a few days ago.
What did he say?

McCarthy criticised the sacking of Hughton... who almost certainly wouldn't have Connolly in the first team. Tsk!

Manchester United fans seem to like him too.

Somebody got paid to write that drivel. Who cares what United fans think about a Brighton player playing against Spurs? Baffling.
There's OTT...and there's OTT!
Still, £50M plus in January, with a loan back to the end of the season might rouse a trickle of interest!

And again we have more of this bullsh*t - Hughton gave Conolly his debut, signed him to a 3 year contract last January and spoke highly of him. You have zero idea whether Hughton would be playing Connolly or not if he was still manager.
I think most of us have a pretty good idea, actually.
(And that's not a dig at Hughton - of which there are far too many at the moment - just how it was).

But where do excellent youngsters go these days? I don't think they do, really. And any 'bigger' club at the moment who can afford to splurge say £50 mill on a 19 year old, either don't play their young 'uns (Man City) or look to be in a right state and would probably need a marquee signing or two to do a quick-fix and keep their fans and shareholders happy (Man U - and after watching them this afternoon, boy oh boy they are not good - Arsenal, Spurs) or like Chelsea, have their own embargo-related system (which also involves 27 players already out on loan). Have no fear, I think he's fine here for a good few more years, notching up goals for us and caps for the Island.

Correct me if I am wrong, and if I am I apologise, but from what I read earlier on in this thread you are highly critical of the hopes and praise for Connolly.
What are you bibbling on about?
#108 explains my jolly jape.
Actually I've been far to praiseful which goes against the master plan.
Should have had a hat trick.
Booooooo

im confident he would have played in the League cup, and might get a look in if Murray injured.
Would be gutted if this happens. I hope we at least get to see him this season and next. If he can get 20+ goals next season as a 20 year old he would probably be worth closer to a 100m

No-one could give a toss what United FANS think about Connolly, but unfortunately they aren't the only ones at Old Trafford who clearly rate the lad. Connolly was brought to the Albion during the time that Mark Anderson (the bloke generally credited as "discovering" Raheem Sterling when he was at QPR) was our head of academy player recruitment. In January 2017, after more than four years at Albion, Anderson moved to United.
Even now, every time Connolly scores, Anderson tweets out "#goalmachine".
