The Horse's Mouth Posted 15 January Posted 15 January I can guarantee you now we won’t get anyone better keep him 1
Mickyblueeyes Posted 15 January Posted 15 January The thing about an obligation to buy on promotion is whether we can use the funds in this window. We need to take some risks in order to deliver 3,4 players to really enhance the squad. That is a risk in itself. Can the obligation based on something that is not a guarantee help us do that - I cant see how. The reality is, if we go down, we would happily take a player with Cannon's ability to lead the line. Keen to see what sort of deal we do. 1
RizLCFC Posted 15 January Posted 15 January Not confident that we will be getting the right deal for the club with this one.

RonnieTodger Posted 15 January Posted 15 January You’d assume he’s being sold. Would make no sense to cut short his successful loan to have him sit on the bench again.
LestaLad Posted 15 January Posted 15 January Bringing him back on the deadline must mean we’re selling him.
Popular Post AKCJ Posted 15 January Popular Post Posted 15 January I think we're making a mistake by selling him or loaning him with an obligation. Just a flat loan to a good side and he could be worth £15-£20m. It's what Middlesbrough want for Latte Lath and he's not done anything that Cannon hasn't and Cannon is younger and home grown. I'd love to see him go to a top end Championship side on loan and bang 10 goals in. But if he's then able to be bought for £7m or whatever it is then they'll have a had our pants down. 5
Claudio Fannieri Posted 15 January Posted 15 January Given we have recalled him, we must have agreed a deal that ensures we have additional money to spend in this window. Either Sunderland have agreed to a permanent deal now with a promotion add on or Sheffield United have improved their offer. I think we will be looking for a fee of around £10m plus promotion add on. That should give us £5-6m PSR profit and chuck another £20-30m into the January kitty
Aleksz Posted 15 January Posted 15 January Not happy with this if we’re taking 7m from Sheff Utd for a player who could be integral next season. But don’t mind if we’re gambling on getting nigh on double that from Sunderland. I understand other peoples justifications/opinions. It’ll split opinion this one and there’s probably no right answer. 2
Tommy G Posted 15 January Posted 15 January He'll be off on a permo then. Be interesting to see what price we manage to get.
lanefox Posted 15 January Posted 15 January 50 minutes ago, Ric Flair said: It's almost double what we paid for him if they go up. It's tempting. With Le Fee signing as well and a very good manager I think they stabf a chance of going up. Dilemma. I'd want £7m + add ons from Sheff Utd Something like £7m now and £3m in attainable add-ons would be tempting over the potential of getting £13m outright in the summer 2
StonyFox Posted 15 January Posted 15 January Similar Okolie leaving, this too feels short-sighted. If we go down, he would be perfect for us with Vardy ageing and Daka still not performing. We may well need to bring in 3 strikers in the summer if Cannon goes. I only hope they have someone lined up to come in with the money this sale generates. 2

Qwerty Posted 15 January Posted 15 January I’ve got mixed feeling about this. On the one hand, if we can sell him for good money, we can buy maybe a centre back to help us try and stay in the PL. However, if we’re relegated I think Tom Cannon is the sort of player we’d want, especially as Vardy won’t last for ever and Daka is just too inconsistent. 2
Fox85 Posted 15 January Posted 15 January If he is sold there needs to be a 50% sell on clause especially if he is only going for a fee between £7Mill and £10 Mill. However this is all speculation. What if. We cancel Edouards loan. Sign another player on loan that will actually contribute. Use Cannon as our 3rd striker

Palace have to recall him.
DezFox Posted 15 January Posted 15 January If we are seriously selling him for 7m then we are crazy. I would 100% be keeping him for next season unless you can get really good money for him. I think there is something there’s no doubt we sell him and buy and 29yr old who fails and is stuck with us. 2
Nolucklcfc Posted 15 January Posted 15 January Strange that seemingly no one in the club rates him despite a clear record at championship level which we may well be going back to.
Stadt Posted 15 January Posted 15 January If we go down and we’re relying on Cannon as our striking hope we’re ****ed. We need money now and Sunderland won’t provide that, use their offer as leverage with Sheff United and chuck Hamza in as well in the most PSR efficient way 2
WhispyWizard Posted 15 January Posted 15 January Absolute mistake to sell him. Can we please go back to being a club that develops players before their prime, rather then buying players that are past it. We aren't the kind of club that going to invest heavily in a decent striker once Vardy retires, so look forward to a few years of Daka-esque strikers or worse. 3

Don’t think you can undervalue that.
