87fox Posted 21 January Posted 21 January 4 minutes ago, ozleicester said: $8000 a week.. max $420,000... Stoke wouldve been paying some or all of that. Whilst we're both guessing his wages, there's absolutely no way he'll have signed in 2023 for as little as £8,000 per week, with no promotion wage increase. Remember this is the club paying Hamza Choudhury £50,000 per week.
FoxinNotts Posted 21 January Posted 21 January If we move Cannon on, and Palace sell OE to the MLS, you’d think we would get some kind of striker in!!

Popular Post Stevosevic Posted 21 January Popular Post Posted 21 January So we have a championship standard striker on our books. We will be in the championship next season. Vardy will be retired. Daka will be sold. Ok, let’s sell him then… bizarre. 6 1

We're three points off survival, so makes sense for the club to maximise its budget to attract players that can keep us in the division. 2
Jazzy_Jeff Posted 21 January Posted 21 January Maybe he’s a bad apple. somethings not right, it’s either there is something non-footballing or we have a better replacement lined up 1

Presumably the club wants to avoid the bit in bold and believes that selling Cannon will enable us to purchase somebody who might help us achieve that. I can understand why you might be sceptical about our chances of actually achieving this, but I assume that's the thinking. Edited 21 January by ClaphamFox

Speculating whether we will actual find and purchase someone better before transfer deadline day is currently a fertile ground for our cynicism

All previous January windows point to...look like you're trying, but either delay enough to put people off, or release rumours and say 'we tried...sorry'
Number 6 Posted 21 January Posted 21 January Could be a decent player in the future, but he's not a player we need right now and we can't be affording to wait. We should have done much more business like this in the past. A modest profit can be x4-5 in terms of transfer budget so a big difference. 1
foxinsox Posted 22 January Posted 22 January Totally bonkers to sell our most reliable striker for no real profit. Sure he isn't the finished product, but could be key to next season in the Championship. The last thing we should be selling is youthful prospects.
Clever Fox Posted 22 January Posted 22 January I would have liked to see Cannon play alongside a big man like Edouard. Somone to win the Ball in the Box and feed him the chances, which is where he'sdeadly.

Please explain how he is "our most reliable striker" now we've sold him? What has he achieved to warrant that tag🙄 3
