[Albion] Aaron Connolly - joining Hull permanently

[GT49er]

Fair enough but seeing he has done **** all at Boro would suggest to me that Potter MIGHT have given up on him hopefully?

We'll have to see what happens next, I guess.

I still think there's a striker in there, so my plan would be a League 1 - or even League 2 or maybe an SPL loan - with a stipulation in his contract that he travels home with the team after an away match and doesn't distance himself from his team mates and bugger off back to Sussex every five minutes. If Barbie (or whatever her name is) wants to go with him, fine, but if she can't be arsed to move away from where she thinks she needs to be to be a reality 'stah' then he'd be better off looking elsewhere.

But hey - I'm not in charge of player development. More likely he'll probably end up having to eke out an existance on £5K or £6K a week as a lower league footballer. Poor lamb...................

Aaron starts on the bench today against Huddersfield.

Let's hope he can get on the field at some point.

12.30 KO on Sky

Boro 0-2 Huddersfield (60min). Balogun just came on, Connolly still on the bench.

AC usually comes off after 82 mins. Maybe he'll come ON after 82 mins

 

[Acker79]

He's been summoned from the bench...

Game should be done and dusted for Huddersfield already.

Bit of a free hit for Aaron now seeing as Boro are 0-2 down with 13 minutes to go.

 

[Acker79]

Yeah, no opportunity to really influence things. Lot of hopeful balls into the box being easily batted away by a disciplined and confident Huddersfield defence. No moment where you could have expected more from him that I saw.

 

[hart's shirt]

1 shot from outside the box on 90+2 minutes that was blocked, but the game was long gone by then.

Impossible to glean anything either positive or negative from that.

Let's hope Aaron gets some more minutes away to Swansea on Saturday.

With Boro looking like they'll miss out on the top 6, there's just 4 games left for Aaron's loan deal.

The spite thread.

 

[Guinness Boy]

The spite thread.

I'm not sure it is from most. Seems to be mostly commentary on how he's getting on. And, if he gets in the papers it is absolutely inevitable that someone will post on here that he's in the papers.

Personally, I'm gutted he was on the bench today. I thought the loan would do him good and I don't really want one of our players sitting on the bench and getting no game time to develop themselves. But, given his stats the last time out, it's not really surprising he was dropped.

The much discussed Championship loan hasn’t worked out. Where next for Arron?

Buy a DeLorean and go back to where he can get himself in the position to work his way up into The Championship.

I hope he's shipped out in the summer for as big a fee as is possible in the circumstances.

His contract with us doesn’t expire until 2024, so I think it’ll likely be another loan out. Don’t think another championship club would be interested in him, so probably SPL next. Probably Hibernian,

If (hypothetically) we received near to £1m for Gyokores, what would you take for Connolly?

I still think we’d look for something similar plus add-ons.

I know what you mean.

But there will be some hateful folk who can’t stand AC the person or player, who’ll relish his ineffectiveness at Boro.

Never underestimate the latent spitefulness in some middle aged men, the internet their opportunity.

The add ons are the key. £1 million basic would be a decent fee.

I am sorry if you include me in that number. As I told Swanny, I could not give a toss whether he is in the papers or not. Is he ever going to be a PL player? On the evidence I have seen no. The worst thing that happened to him was that Spurs game. It went to his head.

He may have a future in the game. But not with us. Not on the evidence I have seen. I wish he was knocking in the goals for Boro.

I would love to be proved wrong
