This rumour has been rumbling on for over a year now and still going on according to local Turkish media

Possibly why Connolly didn't go out on loan.

Or probably bollox.

 

[Napper]

wouldn't be against this

Indeed. Although the Fenebahce sporting director is allegedly flying in to negotiate.

I assume he would have picked up the phone to get a 'No' before he bothered to get on the plane to get it face to face.

Or we've indicated a deal may be possible and then, when he arrives, we try to offload Ali J on them.

HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM......

"Not available, but we'll halal this fine gentleman to go on loan."

Gotta love how Albion 'fans' would rather reduce the 25 man squad down to 24 (or even 23) than contempt signs of improvement from a player heavily featured in pre season and the first goal at Vicarage Road.

Exactly in an area are generally playing 3 attacking players so rotation will be required so much more opportunity for him this season. Really don’t get why some seem to think Connolly is a ready made replacement either, bags of potential yes but ready for the first team? A way off that yet I think

Seems very unlikely unless we dust off the 'Available free agent left back' files.

Great idea - let’s trying and shift both out and bring through a couple of U23 players instead - much prefer that

To continue the 'really don't get why' theme: Why couldn't Connolly be ready to step up to the first team? Just because he's a Brighton under 23 doesn't mean that he's not ready. Other clubs manage to put young guys into their teams-why not us? As the saying goes: If he's good enough, he's old enough. The fear factor has gone so perhaps his time is now?

Probably not but I think there's a reason for him not being loaned out...

How do you know he isn’t being loaned out ?

Didn't look very ready in the Crawl ey friendly, too easily bullied off the ball.

I don't but he's still at the club. For now.

I wasn't at that game so I can't give my opinion on his readiness based on that game.

I can’t see him being involved until we’ve seen him on loan, a short loan until Jan might well suit him and help us gauge what stage he is at.
