Tom Cannon bid in - now signed for Sheff U.

Why would we be after him when he would be the highest paid lad at the club even AFTER taking a huge pay drop?

Surely that's why we are trying for overseas lads? significantly lower wages.

Be amazed if this is happens unless his club subsidise it. Is he actually a form player? or a reserve?

It's a lot more close to it than 42k a week. I don't know to the other 2 questions. I'm not overly armored at the thought of Cannon. Theres apparently name that's not been mentioned yet according to a journo . So we will see what happens come Friday. I'm quite chilled about it , which i shouldn't be after last few windows

we say this every window, surely can’t go another one. They can and they probably will. They just won’t pay the going rate in either fees or wages. Although Isodor has played more games as a striker reports and the player himself favour the left wing. The club will paint it hes the number one striker choice but we all know that’s far from true.

"Sorry lads, we just couldn't get this one over the line". Usual excuse they've used the past four windows.

Doesn’t he prefer the left side? If you feel that he is enough then fair doos but I think it’s a joke.

Still time though (just)

I don't think he is enough, but we have signed a relatively experienced player who has played a fair few games as a striker. So we aren't going into the season like we did last year, and the striker room is better, including the improvement in Mayenda.

He is cover for the left as well though isn't he? Or he may be playing on the left who knows. We need another striker in regardless, we've been in for 2 strikers.

He can be cover out wide, but all the videos I have seen of him he is playing central. We need another one, agreed.
 
Let’s be honest, O’Neil has played CB for three seasons now and some refuse to accept he’s a defender.

Isidore himself said he is a striker who can also play on the left or right. unless we sign someone who has never played any other position some posters will claim they’re not a striker. I think they genuinely just enjoy complaining about it and don’t want to give it up.
 
We (the fans) are going to have to see Isidor play a little bit before we can tell what type of attacker he is. Hopefully the club have a good handle on it, I like Mayenda mainly for the future and think Rusyn is a decent sub for some energy, but if Isidor isn't a centre forward we still need at least 1 more.

Touch wood, bollocks, knob, toes crossed but if Isidor gets a knock we’re back to square 1 relying on a combination of Mayenda and Rusyn who with the best will in the world are nowhere near ready to lead the line for a season.

Who knows, he may turn out to be pretty shite. He can’t be expected to lead our line for an entire season alone.

Going into the remainder of the season without buying our first proper number 9 (I’m discounting unproven kids) since we bought Stewart with £15m from the sales of Ekwah and Clarke sitting in the bank is totally unacceptable.
