Aaron Connolly

Micks latest comments should satisfy everyone.

Like most here I've seen very little of this lad, but I'm very impressed from the little amount I have seen. His clever movement and pace around the box remind me of Robbie. If he can keep progressing, these kind of gambles bring goals. Its hardly much of gamble really. He's been on the radar for over 3 years at this stage with various super performances for our underage teams. He has taken like a duck to water at adult level for brighton even before his two goals at the weekend. Add to that, that we have really poor options in that area of the field and tbh its a no brainer picking him for the senior squad now. Tbh there is a serious arguement to be had whether you start him or not now. Which super performances? I'd bet my left nut you'd never heard of this guy a year ago.

I tend to do my betting with more reputable establishments to be honest as opposed to a random anonymous forum. Anyone with half a clue about our underage set up would of known he was coming through. Now take your left nut and nonsense comments and jog on M8.

You didn't actually answer my question, probably because you can't.

I did know he was coming through, I didn't expect it so quickly, he's only 19.
Ultimately what we see on this forum is all senior players dropped and then just a load of random players thrown in as their replacements (not necessarily Connolly).

One minute it's Byrne, the next Crowley and whatever flash in the pan is next.

Ooooh Momma Momma Momma
I’ve seen the Irish Maradona
He learned to play in a field one day
In a place called Connemara.

Ooooh Mommy Mommy Mommy
You heard it first from me (this line sung slow)
He’s from the west
Has a hairy chest
And they call him Aaron Connolly!

I gave the whisperer the benefit of using the word as a sounding off point, but maybe I was been generous!
