so the problem with Aaron C is that he is a bourgeois? and his familiy is a bit middle class bureaucrat?? is that so? i saw the chants of the Brighton that Aaron C is in the booty business, the problem is that the gorgeous ladies manage him!!!Quote:

Connollys family are really good people from everything Ive heard in Galway.Quote:

I still think that if he can stay injury free with a manager who doesn't believe in just playing one up top, like Farke, then he will develop into a better striker - how good, I'm not sure but there's still plenty of timeQuote:

Evan I guess is strictly a 9
Not unless we want to get overrun in midfield again - we just don't have the midfielders to allow us to play three forwards. I think, if you go with Ferguson and Obafemi, you have to bench Parrott.
So Cullen and molumby with 2 wing backs ie Doherty and Coleman. Wouldnt work. Your probably right. Drop parrot and throw in Willie smallboneQuote:

I cant see any reason why there should be talk of a loan move for him at this stage. Brighton fans from what I can see online have been crying out for a striker and they are delighted in him from last 2 games. He will get plenty of game time if he stays fit between now and end of season at Brighton.
Wouldn't say strictly a 9 as Brighton have played him out wide for the U23s and in the EFL cup game this season against Forest Green he played as one of the two supporting the striker in a 3-4-2-1. Scored and assisted in that game but couldn't see him playing anywhere but 9 at the higher level for them until he gets more experienced.Quote:

Exactly JR89. And if it was that easy Idah might have had a few goals for Ireland and several more for Norwich by now.
Was it Connolly who had a chance from a narrow angle in Bratislava that he tried to curl inside the far post? Everyone was screaming that he should have cut it back or squared it but all the replays showed Idah had snookered himself. On Tuesday Ferguson skipped his marker, found space, adjusted his run and hey presto, tap in!
And - I think - the reverse happened at home to Armenia early on. Idah had a great run but couldn’t find a ball for Connolly to run on to.
Starts again in FA Cup, thought they’d be saving him for the important league game coming up!
Don't think they have too many alternatives - Welbeck isn't fit to start and there seems to be some unexplained issue with Trossard.
De Zerbi on the absence of Trossard. 'I want more from him - he can work harder, he can run more on the pitch, and I want players who give 100% in every training session and every game. Without these characteristics, then they can’t play with me.'Quote:

Super assist against Liverpool. Causing them problems all game. He’s had a couple of half decent chances too. His pressure resulted in the first goal too. Really starting to look the part, he’s had some lovely soft touches and shown quick feet, better than I thought he had in the locker too.
