An interesting comparison with Gyökeres and Toney. We gave up on the first too soon and Newcastle gave up on the later gambling he wouldn’t be a late developer. Both were.
But with Connolly, he was scoring for fun in the EPL2. I suspect he didn’t need to apply himself that much as it was...
I agree with you completely BUT he owes it all to Rosenoir. I’ve never questioned his ability on here. Just his attitude. I believe Aaron is a good EPL striker, now he is older and has found an incredible manager to believe him, he has a chance.
No.
Rosenoir proving what a brilliant human being and judge of people he is. I’m much more interested in his development than that of the Irish striker.
That is odd.
This all seems a bit ‘last chance’ for Connolly. He must have a good season or it’s down another league or two for him. I do believe Rosenior will fix him though, he is a deeply impressive and inspiring person.
If these players do indeed have Irish passports, my guess is it’s for the same reason Farage’s family have EU passports which is nothing to do with caring about heritage and all to do with being able to take advantage of the astonishing benefits one gives an Englishman now.
Another loan to Hull, could be done today, all over Twatter.

But why just a loan? Why not a perm?
Liam came across as an impeccable human being at the Albion. Turning Connolly around would be some achievement and a great thing to have on his C.V. If he can get Connolly back to his EPL-2 form in the Championship, Hull will start doing extremely well. Good luck to the pair and their club.
He is lucky because Liam Rosenior is a quite exceptional human being and wants to give him a go. But Connolly clearly has to develop his maturity. I really don’t like seeing people write him off as a shit player, he is very good but the movement he needs is on his shoulders rather than in his...
I’m really pleased that he has taken ‘the first step’ in acknowledging that he is well on his way to tanking his career and that it’s all HIS fault.
The hard bit is the next bit. I can see him knocking in double figures in Serie A, he has the natural talent. I can also see him scoring nothing...
Along with Moran perhaps?
"Andy Moran and Evan Ferguson are probably the best I have worked with. These two could be world-class. Andy Moran is just a joy to watch. He brings a smile to your face when you watch him train every day, he's a great kid. He nutmegs people for fun, everyone loves...
It’s sad that these promising young Irish players just can’t convert their clear natural talent into a career with a top 10 EPL side. Like Molumby, Connolly is surely destined to player out his career outside the top level.
Let’s hope that our next generation of Irish youngsters (Cahill...
Sell him to USG for a few million for (hopefully) Champions League football with a Livramento style buy-back clause if he suddenly meets his potential.
Top level European football (CL) should inspire him whilst he finds his level in the Juliper league.
