To many chances. Time to send the angry little leprechaun out on loan for the season

Problem is - he might turn out to be genuinely rubbish and we will struggle to get him off our books after that.

I say, try to flog him while his stocks are at a decent level.

Who will buy him ? How many signings in the football league have there been more than a couple of million

Potter just said on the radio left out for 'personal reasons'

Come on Aaron, there is a player in there.
Potter also said that the reason Veltman was left out of the squad for today was that he was pinged by NHS as a close contact.

Not worth much at the moment - and The Championship teams are skint and can't even afford that much!

There's every reason to suspect that Aaron will go on to have a decent top level career. Anyone who thinks a 21 y/o striker won't get better hasn't been paying huge attention to the whole football thing.

However the moment GP said that his absence was for personal reasons the chances of it being with us plummeted.

I've stuck up for him all the way through, but now I feel like it's better than both parties go their own ways.

Connolly went in heavy in training, studs up on Joel.
Veltman objected and called him an idiot.
Connolly pushed Veltman and started giving out about being called an idiot.
Veltman pushed Connolly back harder and said get your effing hands off me.
Connolly loses it and takes a swing.
Joel sidesteps and launches the uppercut, flooring the young pretender.
Connolly gets up and full on tries charging at him for the wrestler grab.
Dunk , Wester and Duffy steam in sceaming "oi leave it out" jumping in and pulling them apart.
Duffy pulls connolly away and starts bollocking him, Webster and Dunk walk off with an arm around Veltman deep in conversation as a perplexed GP looks on nodding his head side to side in the "no" expression.
Andone tries tripping Connolly up as he walks past and then blames it on Veltman.

And of course this is all totally made up BS and conjcture without one shred of evidence or any factual basis.

Because theyve got private medical matters.

Very good [emoji1360] especially Andone [emoji1787]

Brighton have an absolute treasure chest full of 21 year old strikers that have failed to get better.

I’ll start things rolling with Jake Robinson…

Or I could start a list of PL strikers including, probably the entire best 20 currently playing, who's career was at the same sort of stage Aaron's was at his age

Hope it’s a loan to Uncle Chris at Forest to get his head sorted with a double figure goals tally season. Looks like they need him.

Why would Brighton loan him to a manager who wasn’t interested in our academy when he should have been

Which premier league strikers had made it at 21 ? Just out of interest

I think it says so much that a team such as ours with limited (very) striker options can leave 2 strikers out for Personal reasons. I cannot see where AC goes from here. We cannot rely on him ON the pitch and off it well lets just say there appear to be issues...Sell, loan, whatever but move him on and make an effort to get someone in with the ability to score more goals and has LESS interest in Haircuts/or pages in the red top papers...

There really isn’t. Going to end up on the scrap heap of promising youngsters that turned into bell ends unfortunately.

The Jake Robinson who is still playing 12 years after leaving us, having had a good career in the lower leagues, scoring goals at an impressive rate (177 in 415)?

Some bellend!

Are people still peddling this bullish*t - if they were good enough they would have played - have a look at the kids Hughton has playing for Forest.

He needs 3-5 quality players or he'll get sacked. What happens with those kiddos if he gets additions to the squad?

I’m more interested in his superb man management. Connolly is not an academy player anymore.

At a level Connolly should thrive at, we could have someone with the confidence and goals of a Toney or Armstrong on our hands this time next August.
