Tom Cannon F Sheffield Utd b.2002

[SkStu]

He’s on his way back to PNE for the season.

They signed Stewart from liverpool permanently this week same age as Cannon missed over 12 months with an acl but always looked good underage for the pool as a 9

He’s on his way back to PNE for the season.

Cannon's attendance at Saturday's PNE friendly v Aberdeen was a giveaway. Between Cannon, Stewart, Will Keane and the other new signing, Mads Frøkjær, PNE seem sorted up front for 2023/24.

I think if hes back with Preston theres a very good chance hes back with us too. My fear for him getting an England call up would have been if he hit the ground running for Everton this season. Playing in the Championship will put him well down the pecking order for England.

I still think is non inclusion in the Greece squad caused a bit of a hissy fit with him and Im hoping over a few months there has been communication and cooler heads will get it sorted. Hopefully we'll know by September.

[SkStu]

Agree that this is seemingly good news for us and if I were Kenny id be promising him a call up in Autumn.

Does it put him too far down the pecking order for the English U21's though, which is the team that had contacted him and where there are some perspectives that they are light on strikers?

He'd get in the England u21 squad alright, so there does have to be a senior call up on the table. If Cannon was left out because he missed the training camp it was a bit of a stupid mistake by Kenny, Im convinced that caused Cannon to act like a child, so theres plenty of blame to go around. Thats why Im hoping that they have been in contact through the summer to sort it out.... I thought Everton might look at him this season though so maybe they dont rate him all that highly. Might be a little sign that hes not as good as all this hassle is worth!

To be honest I'd say the next thing we'll hear about Cannon on the international front will be when he's called up to the England under 21s this autumn. Hope I'm wrong, but the decision was never between the Ireland seniors and the England seniors, it's between the Ireland seniors and the England Under 21s. The fact he's considering their under 21s at all over our seniors tells us where his preference lies most likely.

I think your right
"If there is a Doubt then there is no doubt"

Also I'm pretty sure( but not positive )he knew he wouldn't be part of the Everton first team before he pulled out of our last squad

[Razors left peg]

Is there a process to switch countries that takes a bit of time? If he were to switch to England u21s wouldnt we hear about it well in advance while the paperwork goes in? Or could he just make the decision in September and go straight into their squad?

[JR89]

Could take around four weeks. Rice officially requested his switch in mid Feb 2019 and was lining out for England the following month. So would assume Cannon would likely have to have his request in within the next two weeks maybe.

[Eirambler]

For all we know it could already be gone in. There's no requirement to make these things public. For example we didn't hear about Charlie McCann's switch until it was all but done.

You'd imagine word would leak from the FAI if that was happening though?

[JR89]

Would likely leak from Cannons camp before someone in the FAI leaked it.

[Demesne Lad]

I had thought Cannon's loan move back to PNE was finalised, but it seems it's not quite done yet. "Everton have been looking to bag as much as £1m before agreeing to sanction the forward’s loan". PNE still predicted to Meet Everton's demands.

[Demesne Lad]

An unused sub for Everton v Fulham yesterday. Journalist Alan Nixon (The Sun) has now claimed that Leeds United could be preparing an £8m bid for him, but hedges his bets by speculating that Cannon could be allowed to leave Merseyside and join Preston on Wednesday (www.deepdaledigest.com).

[liamoo11]

Can this lad s thread be moved to some other forum while we await his decision? I really hope at this stage he keeps jogging on

[tetsujin1979]

Threads aren't moved until a player's international allegiance is changed.

[SkStu]

Has apparently asked to leave Everton to pursue first team football (reliable Everton Twitter ITK) and Norwich rumoured to have made a £7m bid (less reliable source).

[pineapple stu]

Seems a logical move with Sergeant looking at a few months on the sidelines. May well push Idah back onto the bench, but Norwich's lookout is themselves and re-stocking up front makes sense. Albeit a permanent move rather than a season-long loan is interesting.

[ifk101]

Wonder why he is keen to move and Everton, goalless so far in the PL, would be willing to let go. Seems staying put is the better career choice (i.e. wanting to play at the highest level possible and to play for England ... :-))
