That is how read it. At the moment he is not ready, maybe in a couple of weeks he will be.

Amazing how many people are happy to give Andone another chance yet seem to want Connelly out on loan

The reason a loan is required for Connnolly is to get him scoring reguarly again - difficult to do in the pressure cooker environment of the PL, with most NSCers on his back. A change of environment, a different level of experience, perhaps a dose of realisation that he is not at PL 'star' level yet - and hopefully at the start of next season we'll have the player we all thought we had after the Spurs match.
Can't see why anybody finds it hard to get their head around that.

That's me. A fit Andone is a proven striker who should be in his prime. Connolly is young, inexperienced and, if we got another striker in, I would like to see him loaned to a good championship club to give him regular game time all season and allow him to improve without the pressure of the PL.
If nobody comes in, Connolly is good enough to contribute at this level but I don't believe will get the same opportunities to actually improve his game as much.

Rumours seem to suggest he's off to Deportivo on loan.

Interesting move. Spanish second division on loan? Seems to be something in it though.

Based on what? 4 goals in 26 Appearances v 5 goals in 41 appearances for Connolly who is 7 years younger? Not sure either of them is 'good' enough. Connolly may become so but there is nothing to suggest that Andone is any better than what we have? People remember his goal V Palace and rightly so but there's very little else to suggest he's a PL quality striker. He's also had 2 serious knee injuries since then could easily have lost a yard of pace.
I don't think either is the 21/22 answer but Andone is a long shot at best...

3rd division I believe

Andone has been nowhere near as badly behaved as Connolly though. No tabloid tales of busting covid rules for a start.

I actually preferred Andone's 81st minute winner in the *must win* vs Huddersfield to his goal v Palace.
Yes you're right. Translated the tweet wrongly.

I saw Andone in a restaurant the other day and he had the thousand yard stare like he was having flashbacks of Nam. Was fully expecting him to start flipping tables and luzzing chairs while screaming "You weren't there man!"

Anyway, if this happens it MUST mean an incoming striker is happening

Fair points all round I suppose. Suppose some of us just prefer the cut of Andone's jib to Conolly?
Either way - you out for a few jars tomorrow can discuss at length then
?
this !
His former team so you could see why it could work for both of them.
I still can't get over the decline of Deportivo though, one of my favourite sides of the early 2000's. Juan Valeron was an absolute joy of a player then.

Maybe GP and the rest of the staff dont share your view that tabloids are all-knowing, all-seeing Gods fit to separate the Good from the Evil.
