You may well be right if injuries get the better of him. well done you.
If you’re saying he was never that good in the first place, give me a few other examples of 18 year old premier league strikers who made more impact than Ferguson in his first spell in the team.
You don’t need to take the “don’t be so hard on him, he‘s only 19” line with Ferguson.
The goals he’s scored and his early performances speak for themselves and pooh pooh the argument that he’s not all that gifted.
Unfortunately injuries have been a massive spanner in the works .
He clearly...
There’s always been a loud anti-loan brigade on nsc, who presumably see it as a sleight against the player. Check the Connolly thread from days gone by.
There are plenty of examples though of successful Well-managed loans.
The persevering approach is nice but it may not be in the club’s or...
It happens to strikers. He will come through it and be better for it.
He is without doubt a top quality player going through a bad patch, not a mediocre player who previously had a great run.
Time to leave Connolly be.
It is what it is and he will have his own regrets.
Plus, we cant all be Evan Ferguson.
Bar one 40-minute period Connolly was never in Ferguson’s class and couldn’t be even if he lived like a monk.
Welbeck doesn’t score anything like enough goals. That’ll bite us on the bum at some point.
Ideally there would be a third option - it’s not as if having three strikers is excessive.
Shit Aaron Connolly, You’re just a shit Aaron Connolly
In all seriousness , it’s time for him to start ahead of welbs . Great to have competition for places
