Tom Cannon

[BigDunc'sFod]

People forget that DCL had two or three years of game time before Ancelotti came in and it paid off

Give the kid a chance

 

[witchdoc187]

Be good if everyone demands he's given a chance, doesn't score for 5 games then is booed out of the club

Taxi driver told me he was told that cannon was blitzed in the newz bar bogs with Billy Kenny and Michael branch , dohs gone to his head

Great source.

Saw him for 10 mins in the Premier League and he made a more intelligent run than any of our other strikers all season, looked a different type to Maupay.
I can see him going on loan in Jan if Dom is fit.

I thought Dobbin looked a real prospect, when I saw him play about half an hour at Chelsea, yet I don’t remember seeing him again! We’ve loaned him to Derby, so maybe I just saw him on a good night?! His pace seemed a genuine problem for the Chelsea defenders though! Based on the 10 minutes you saw Cannon play, I say keep him at all costs! Perceptions can be very wrong, when we only see young players get the odd cameo. But it is clear we are a team with little threat, so actually give the kid a chance. If Dom isn’t up to it, give him a run in the team ffs! Not just a cameo, then sent out on loan! 4 or 5 back to back starts at least, or what chance does he have? If he isn’t good enough, then fair enough, but unless we sign a decent striker, surely it’s time to find out?!

I've never seen him, so how good is he?

Where does he fall on the Cadamateri to Rooney scale?

It could be very good to give him 5 starts in a row. Him failing and being booed out of the club, much less so!

Every time I see this thread pop up I can’t help think…

Better than Rooney but not as good as Cadamateri

Won't really know mate until he's chucked in the deep end and given a go.

No one can be compared to Rooney, he was a completely different animal.

Thing with Cannon is he's a good grafter, makes decent runs and drags defenders out with him. Sometimes takes shots that just aren't there to be taken but just keeps plugging away. Has scored some crackers as well tbf.

He is literally our only fit number nine and he's a kid just give him the game versus city can he do any worse than Maupay for me Maupay isn't even an out and out centre forward he's a split striker or number ten

Good point why not, lost all faith in Maupay what have we got to loose.

 

[toffee-boy]

Not sure why he isn't even on the bench for today?

With the stellar talents of McNeil, Maupay, Doucoure and Davies on the bench there’s no room for a hungry, talented youngster keen to make a name for himself.
