Where have you read this?

The chap who messaged me saying he was off said he 'could' be staying now

I'm all over the place. This week has been an emotional roller coaster

Seems strange that Dan would run with the story in Hull Live if their was nothing in it?

We need some explanation!

Re: Shopping List 2023 : Thu Sep 15, 2022 9:20 am  

I think Dan is of the opinion that he's off.

Don't know what to believe anymore

We'll just have to see how it pans out.

You've only got to look at the 'engagement' that the Connor rumour story got to have your explanation.

To be fair after the way another season ended yet again and arrival of Smith and all the changes in coaching and S & C etc then every player is potential candidate for an exit from the club.
With a player like Jake Connor even if it was just a rumour started with no truth by someone it will grab attention very quickly and escalate with noises coming from the club re players. Hopefully it is just all rumour started by a worried Rovers fan as think Connor has a great opportunity to really improve under Smiths Coaching which in turn will seriously improve us. As I said in a previous post if Connor was to leave to win things then currently unless he signs for Wigan or St's his chances aren't in all honesty going to be much greater than if he stays.

There is also the salary cap issue. Earlier on in this topic it was stated that Connor earns marquee wages. Not sure if that is true but if it is that club will have to match or exceed his wage and also have to fork out a substantial transfer fee. Huddersfield have been mentioned but are they willing to make that deal?

Re: Shopping List 2023 : Thu Sep 15, 2022 10:36 am  

Real mixed bag regarding Connor, some people I trust are saying he is staying, the others seem pretty convinced he will leave. Its not gonna be a quiet off season thats for sure

What I will add, is the apparent reasoning for this potential move (should it be true) is almost farcical, and makes the matter of the rumour even more frustrating

Hudds set to make an announcement on Sky on Friday or Saturday.

These tend to be signings or contract renewals. Hopefully not Connor

Re: Shopping List 2023 : Thu Sep 15, 2022 11:51 am  

I’m pretty relaxed either way.
If he stays it will be interesting what TS can do with him.
If not, it leaves a huge amount of cap to play with.

Reading what the Huddersfield fans are saying it seems as if this announcement is more likely to be about the future of the game in general as Richard Fewlass indicated last night at a fans forum. But might be wrong.
