[Albion] Aaron Connolly - joining Hull permanently

Han Solo said:

Still, goals sell no matter circumstances and he's proven to be quite efficient in the Championship when actually fit. Sheffield is a bit surprising though, would have predicted a mid/bottom team.

It interests me, because often clubs will turn a blind eye to off-field shenanigans if there are goals coming in on the pitch.

The fact that he was performing at Hull, and they STILL let him go must suggest they felt that behaviourally he was still on a downward trajectory?

I don’t feel too sorry for him, coz he’s clearly enjoying himself in one way or another, and making a better living than most. I do wonder what his ceiling would have been if he could concentrate a bit more on the football and get an occasional early night though.

Exactly.

No one makes themselves a better player by wide-boying it in Shooosh with an entourage and a Love Island slapper.

Whatever he achieves, it’s likely he could have achieved much more.

Looks as if the management not exactly excited either - the rumours have gone very quiet, and Connolly remains out of work.

Apparently he needs more assurances on the nightlife after someone told him some of the clubs aren’t open on Wednesdays

That isn't exactly right, he simply heard "Wednesday are rubbish" and assumed they were talking about the club scene.

Very strange one as while he might not be good enough for the top league I’m surprised a club further down the chain or Scotland has taken him on

Off field attitude/behaviour reducing on field contribution/ability.

Not sure why any team would want him or want to pay the wages he’d demand.
