If he was Andi Zeqiri or Florin Andone he'd have to fart in a jar and give it to someone through a lottery and people would say "bring him back for next season". As it is Connolly... twelve-fifteen goals and the winning goal in the playoff final.

Given the choice of all three for the Albion first team squad can I go for NONE of them? Maybe I’m going all entitled but I think we should be doing better in our sixth season in the PL

Good call. Although if he scored in every game before the end of the season (unlikely) what would the view be? A bit like the last fortnight for the Albion, turning a dismal last couple of months into a half decent second half of the season?

More nonsense. Most people on here recognise that Andone has just as much of an attitude problem and, besides, he looked a far worse player post injury. As for Zeqiri, the last tome he was here Potter was using him as a left wingback and we already have a couple of those.
What we really don’t have and what we really do need is a quality striker unless we’re playing 3-5-1-1 using Mac centrally in every game going forward, in which case there’s no point having AC back at all

Oh i thought you'd flounced. Nice to see you back. Agree about Andone, not sure how he has a fan club, that ship sailed years ago.
Has Zeqiri played as striker? His scoring record appears to be, well, dreadful.

Agree with you but would have liked to have seen more of Zeqiri before passing judgement. If there are any incomings this summer, it will be another forward, plus Undav and maybe Mitoma or Khadra returning.
Connolly is certainly not the answer, sadly.
Well that is certainly the most likely outcome and hard to have any complaints about it. But in the odd case any strikers out on loan (except Undav) make it to the first team squad for next season, it is likely to be Connolly.
Zeqiri - zero goals since October and zero assists since November, getting less and less game time in a team where the top scorer has 7 goals
Andone - in the freezer all season
Sima - rumoured to exist but there is no way to know for certain
Tolaj - cant get any minutes in League One
Connolly - playing regularly in the Championship, not exactly tearing the league apart but apparently his manager sees him as good enough to be allowed on to the pitch which is a step forward compared to the others

Sometimes players just 'don't happen', whether it be ability, attitude or a combination.
Trust the well paid manager and his team, and if that's the case, ship 'em on.

I think its fair to say that until recently we did not 'produce' many/any players of the top calibre in any position.
Couldn’t agree more.

At the same time knuckle down as a pro.

I’ve defended him in this thread.
- that Tottenham game
- record in U23s.
Which means he has it in him.
- his movement is good, but he needs the ball earlier
- he is still young, but needs to learn from his mistakes….
All of that said, my latter posts are less positive (not critical) and IMO for his own good he needs to be moved on…..
