Aaron Connolly

Plus  he will be able to assimilate and pick up the language very quickly. Was speaking with an English accent in no time.

Let's hope he can do a Troy Parrott and realise you have to put in the hard yards.

He can change environments as much as he wants but as I saw someone say yesterday when you're the biggest issue that toxic environment will be everywhere.

Could be a great move for him. Don't know what the level is like but would have been looking at a bottom half championship move if he stayed in England. Could be a great chance to turn things around if he screws the head on right and knuckles down.

Difference between himself and Parrott, and even Parrott mentioned it himself when talking during the season. He didn't need to change anything off the pitch, was living the way he should have been and was mostly on the pitch changes that needed to be made.

he still with the girl from love island? 

Big chance for him to turn things around with this loan - if it doesn't work though you'd wonder where he goes next.

Would he though, because he'll be playing at the same level as Liam Kerrigan next season, and don't think Kerrigan gets into the Irish picture with consistent game time and good form.

I think if either of them (or anyone else) were banging in the goals in Serie B they'd be knocking on the door of the senior squad. Realistically how likely is Kerrigan to be doing that though, he'll be doing well to hold down a first team starting place. Connolly probably has more of a chance if he can put the work in and find some form.

For those criticising Connolly.

Just because 2 players are in the same League though doesn't mean they have the same amount of talent/potential. I also would be surprised if Kerrigan got a senior Ireland cap (no disrespect to him, & perhaps he'll surprise in time) but Connolly simply has far more raw talent.
