Connolly has reportedly enjoyed a recent trip to New York City with his ex-girlfriend. Meanwhile, the Hull City Vice-Chairman Tan Esler says "it has been more or less agreed with the player and with Brighton" that Connolly will join Hull on loan, if possible before the FA Cup game with Fulham. (Hull Live, 2 Jan)
Even the part about the trip with his ex-girlfriend was in Hull Live? Or did you drop that in yourself?Quote:

The New York trip was covered in Mail Online on 30 December. I hope, for Connolly's sake, and of course the BIG, that some stability in his personal life might increase the chances of a successful loan spell and the rehabilitation of his football career after unimpressive spells with Venezia and Middlesboro.Quote:

A lot of clubs at that level desperate for a forward this time of year and he's probably a low risk loan signing financially with Brighton likely happy to cover most of his wages to get rid. If he could find fitness and form he'd be a good signing at that level. Worst case scenario it doesn't work out, they can detach him from the first team squad and he leaves in May. That said, it's a decline from where he was last year (promotion pushing Championship team) so if this one doesn't work out it will be League 1 at best next season.
A year back at Galway UTD might do him the world of good.
I'm not sure he'd start. Not a Caulfield type of player.Quote:

he needs some family relatives to take away the ladies out of him, maybe his mother or sisters can give some aid
What about a few clips of a hurley regularly, could that settle him a bit would you think ?
Was training with the Hull squad this morning so move should be announced soon.

Not even sure you could call this last chance saloon. He's already been kicked out of the last chance saloon.
Hope it works out for him.
Fair dues to his agent is all I can say
Not sure if Liam Rosenior coached his agent at Brighton 23s...Quote:

On for his debut with half an hour to go; Hull 1-0 down at home to Fulham
Yea, he actually looks pretty fit. Working hard off the ball too
