[Albion] Aaron Connolly - joining Hull permanently

[Toongull]

Fair play to him.

From what my Sunderland mate says, the fans there have already decided he is shit though. Gotta love football fans.

Yep that goes for the one I know too. Headless chicken and no end product to quote a few. They are just waiting for their season to implode though

Scored for them at Millwall today. The home side did what plucky couldn't do to us, sadly. Very late equalizer.

Cracking goal as well

Yep, just seen it.

Great composure and technique.

Well done Aaron, you will convert the moron fans with a couple more.

Sadly for Aaron it seems his time with the Mackem’s so far hasn’t been a success. He got a rare 90 minutes (plus extra time, playing his first full game in a long while) as they exited the cup at home to Stoke. Pretty much universal “get rid” on their forum.

Also, love the Connelly spelling - reassuring it’s not just us at NSC with our Houghton’s, Andringa’s and Encisco’s.

Tough gig going into a team that we flying and pushing for promotion. Surprised me at the time and not really surprised it hasn’t worked out.

All things considered, it seemed to be a stopgap solution for Sunderland and about making up their squad numbers.

If I was advising him, I’d suggest lower your wage demands and expectations, find yourself a nice L1 or 2 club with the view of staying there a long time, start banging in the goals and become a fan’s favourite.

I think the potential Problem is the huge drop off in wages and it comes back to ‘motivation’

This is up to him. There's most likely still a decent career in him, just not at the level he was hoping for...or maybe even expecting. He'd still get a decent wage at a L1 or L2 club, with a lot of perks which come with being a pro-footballer. There's a lot of half-decent post-football careers at that level as well. If he really has a passion for football he will be fine. If not, find something else.

And he's just 24 so could carve out a career for another decade more.

Vardy was 25 when he went from Fleetwood Town to Leicester.

Agree, he’s need an Adam Le Fondre type gig
