File under mega crap journalism

Surprised people are so negative on Cannon. He was a great finisher in our youth teams, also had a great loan at Preston. We only sold him because we were up against it with PSR. This season he's scored 9, assisted 1 in 22 championship games. At 22 years old, his championship record is 55 games, 19 goals, 3 assists. That's pretty exciting. He's also a player who can make a goal for himself with a touch around a defender or a longer range shot, something that we could do with given our midfield troubles.

Also consider that Chermiti and Broja are injured, DCL is on his way out and Beto is Beto. We also probably have some sort of clauses with Leicester we can use to knock the price down. It makes a lot of sense to me and I think when people saw him play they'd be surprised.

Ya if he was still at Everton I reckon he be our starting striker ahead of Dcl, Beto etc

His agent is Moyes's brother, lazy journalism

Not sure on the Cannon fume. He’s a good player.

Was also a massive part of why we were in a relegation battle to begin with

This “ he saved us” like does my head in

Players like him are the reason we are at the bottom of the league ..

Far from one of our biggest issues.

even harry kane went on loan to leyton orient, millwall, norwich and leicester to develop and look at him now

welcome back tom

He sold me complimentary tickets him when we played juve in San Francisco the dogs arse , Moyes was at Utd by then too

I’d have Cannon back tomorrow. Different type of striker and knows where the net is.
Sold to avoid PSR issues, basically had 2 years loan some say our young players should have.

This was a point I was going to make about Weir, he’s probably not responsible for the names they are recruiting but probably responsible for the numbers.

And while they may be good players they are paying absolute top dollar- clubs are getting precisely what they ask for for their players and I’m not sure that says great things about Weir if he is negotiating those- it’s easy to land players if you ask what a club wants then give it to them.

It depends what his remit is, and again, if he is the one identifying these, which personally i dont think its his job to identify them.

Feel they will eat themselves up at some point, I don't think they will make the margins they have made in the past off players like Caicedo, Cucurella, White or MacAllister.

Plus as i mentioned in a previous post, we are working in two different markets, Brighton are there to improve there balance sheet, I'd like to still think that we are an institution that put sporting achievements over that.

Might be open to weakening a rival

 

[billyblue80]

We are not re-signing Tom Cannon as much as I think he was sold a bit soon

 

[Raino85]

Even if we are interested. Leicester won't sell to us anyway

Depends if we have a buy back like Villa did with Hull for Philogene

 

[GrandOldTeam]

Getting nervous now.

Rock on ....errr Kurt

I hope he doesn’t come now and we can call Moyes a ‘lickle liar’
