I can’t believe any club would spend a few million on a player with a stress fracture to the back. I’m assuming it was missed during the medical and this ‘one for the future’ was to save face. Let’s be honest he was bought for the championship. 

The injury is not a big deal !!  The player is young with loads of potential and the price was right. It's a good move by Leicester. I'm really not sure why you think he was bought solely for the Championship. 

A lot of Everton fans feel that selling him & not picking up the option on Coady were both big mistakes.

I really hope this lad is decent. It's clear that we are missing a proper no. 9.

Big time he’s dynamite

Strange we didn’t give him an u21 run out?

Why did we sign this crock?

 

Could have had Piroue instead

Few things

1. Thats not his name
2. He is hardly tearing it up
3. He would cost loads more
4. Would not come to sit behind Vardy and Nacho

Apart from that, fine

Who....

 

I take it you mean Piroe?  

 

Cannon is 20 and long term investment.

Ah I see he's being written off before even kicking a ball for us. This place after a loss man 

[lcfc sheff]

I hope he can bring a freshness and some energy upfront that we need going into the rest of the season. Problem is I can’t say I’ve watched him bar his highlights and looks to me to be more of a poacher like post 30s Vardy…

I was shocked how bad Piroe was last night.

Missed a pretty easy chance and no, didn't impress me last night.

Not a big fan of the YouTube scouting where you watch 3 minutes of Ronaldinho-esque football from someone's 12 year career.

 

What can we genuinely expect from this lad and what's he likely to improve?

 

Where do his strengths lie?

Agree with that. Didn't have a good game and didn't look like it was a player who could progress to the PL easily. Interesting to see how Canon progresses when he is fit, which is hopefully very soon.

We need this guy in ASAP.  Goals from the strikers are drying up again.

A medical isn't a quick once over to just to check there's nothing wrong in this moment, it's to understand long standing conditions and any potential future problems. They'd have looked at the stress fracture and determined the likelihood of it causing long term problems in order for the club to make an informed decision about the transfer. Your post is about as naive as it gets.

saw his name on the screen in the second half and genuinely didn’t realise he had been playing

I wouldn't expect miracles from him when 90% of our strikers' touches are 50 yards from goal. I'm actually amazed Vardy and Iheanacho have managed to score as many as they have.

[foxfanazer]

The mentality on here. 

 

Narrow loss to the team in 3rd who you're 11 points clear of. Head to the Tom Cannon thread

Being played out of position, basically as a #10 when he's a natural striker.

So a poor purchase then? Doesn't look like someone who is going to improve ready for the PL imo.
