Connells off to...

Quoted from Townfantom

Beat me to it. Gutted about this, just hope we get a decent replacement.

Really think Liam Hearne was brought in to replace Connell.

Quoted from FishOutOfWater

Nothing like being positive eh?  

I'd rather watch us try and play proper football and I just dont think we are going to do that. There is no fun in watching a bish bash bosh up an at em team IMO. Of course I want us to do well but I'd rather see us at least try and play some form of football that can be considered entertaining.

Anyway, Ive had enough of positive. Presume the worst then everything else has to be better. Surely???????

Who says we're finished in the transfer market ? S&H have proven to be shrewd buyers, maybe they have had a target lined up in case Connell went. Either way I expect decent and consistent football and management under them, after all the make it up as you go along management from Woodsy.

Well this gives us chance to spend at least half of whatever the money is on another goalscorer that Penn and Teller want. Gutted, truely gutted but slight optimism to see who comes in, if anybody.

...... mid-table mediocrity at best awaits, providing the Boston lads are up to it?!!!

I forget you've signed world beaters.

It seems pretty obvious Connell was desperate to leave and he would have intimated as much to the club. This is why they have been not-so-subtly touting him around during the past week or two.

I still think he would have done himself a favour by staying for a second year, scoring another hatful of goals, then moving on at the end of his contract. However, at least we've got some decent enough money for him.

Question is, do we need another striker now? Hearn looks to have been signed as a replacement for Connell but does this mean that Duffy is now back in the reckoning for the first team once again?

Just a pity that we didn't have another couple of decent players last season who could have helped make all of Connell's goals worth something and given us a chance of promotion.

100k plus what we're saving on his wages will get us a decent player at this level. I'm disappointed he's gone but I'm confident h+s will reinvest wisely.

For felicitations sake.

I won't lie, I honestly thought he was gonna stay until January at the very least because I didn't think anyone would be willing to pay what we wanted. Ah well. That is some decent dosh for a striker at our level. I hope we bring in another striker though, it'd be a risk to go into the season with what we've got.

Good luck in the future Alan.

You're assuming H+S will see that money for players. Remind me what happened to the money we got off Peterborough for Ryan Bennett?

Pretty sure it went toward making up the huge void in our revenue streams, could be wrong.
