Probably not. He spent summers in Mayo...

Being facetious there. I get your frustration with this guy. I'm not surprised he was given another international window to figure it all out but I'm disappointed he took another window. One more would really annoy me. He had the benefit of the doubt in my book but he's not Grealish level prodigy to be taking such time. And he might get a cap like Bamford so if that is what he wants then he should call it because the longer this goes on the more it looks that way.

Are you saying we should ~ Fire the Cannon !

The same puns, rehashed or repackaged, are really beginning to get on my wick.

Whole thread is shot to bits at this stage.

I'm still waiting for a pic of him to appear with the caption 'Cannon and ball'

Yet the volleys keep coming.

Hoist by his own petard !

Looks like our eagerness to get him has backfired

"Tom Cannon is out with some problems," Leicester manager Maresca told the media today. "I don’t know how long (for)".

Oh no, he's fallen foul of the TYISIC (Talented Young Irish Striker Injury Curse)! Let him declare for England to save his career, even if he never plays for them!

He'd certainly add to our firepower, but is he of the right calibre?

**Demesne Lad** · 26/09/2023, 7:42 PM

Diagnosed with a stress fracture in his back when he transferred to Leicester City. Leicester boss Maresca commented a week ago: "It will be quite a long time. It’s very similar to Dennis Praet’s injury. It’s a stress fracture in his back. But we still don’t know how long. He didn’t train any sessions with us.”

The Leicester Mercury yesterday gave a possible return date of 25 November for Praet, who was also diagnosed at the start of September, but Cannon's return is "unknown". Unfortunate for the lad, his club and Ireland.

Can the thread title be updated please ?
He's a Leicester player now & injured, out of the frame etc, it's all gone disastrously wrong, so let's face it probably feeling a touch more Irish than previously so we're going to probably talk more about him.

Andrew Omobamidele was out for six/seven months with the same thing

“Kasey (McAteer) and Tom, they are already on the pitch, not with us, but they are already on the pitch and it’s nice to see them next to us working." Leicester boss Maresca quoted in the Leicester Mercury, 21 October.

Cannon joined the first team training on 27 October. Manager Maresca still cautioning against too early a return, given the seriousness of the injury, lack of fitness and unfamiliarity with the Leicester style of play, but hopes to include him in the squad for the game v Middlesboro on 11 November.
