Aaron Connolly recently released from Hull. Was on the receiving end of a bit of a horror challenge from Angus Gunn last season so missed a few games, but he's a decent little striker and one we could utilise as a solid back up at this level.
The 24 year old scored 8 goals in 1209 mins last season, so a goal every 151 mins. Came off the bench 15 times in that run of games, so capable of making an impact as a sub.
He's pacey, has nice close control, athletic, capable with physicality despite his size, presses really well and draws plenty of fouls.
Free transfer to give us some comfort in knowing we have another CF that will be available to play.

Why did Hull release him? Honest question.

Saw that mate. There's a few players I like for squad depth. The aforementioned, Eduard Michut and Brandon Williams. Obviously wouldn't expect all, but any of those I'd be happy with.
From what I gathered, Hull didn't renew his contract. Seems he had a good relationship with Rosenior so that played a part because he left. Also brought in Zaroury and Carvalho just after his concussion from the Gunn incident, so didn't get much chance after recovering.

I like Connolly busy energetic player am amazed he is without a club just now. But just as Bielsa had his stubbornness and blind spots (Tyler Roberts) so does Farke with PB and our recent attacking additions means PB will get even more time to try and get to a level of fitness that exceeds a month at a time.
But I don’t expect any more additions until January and even then, I fully expect PB to be with the first team squad all season. (Joffy going out on loan in January)
Now if PB could rediscover his highest level of form, fitness? He is still a top player at championship level.
But IF.

I agree with all that, Class. Doesn't seem likely, but can hold out some hope.
For me, I think Paddy is done. He simply can't stay fit enough. As the old adage goes - the best ability is availability. And he's barely fit and available these days. But no doubt he'll be around all season again keeping the physio in a job.

Just don’t get the no additional striker. Matt’s and piroe injury or form dip and we are well and truly well and truly.

Did someone mention TR. scary
Still maintain that LUFC squad does NOT hsve enough goals in it.
Tbe only saving grace is that tne Chsmpo is weaker this year. but no one with 100% confidence can assure its a given that Leeds United get top 2.

Agree, Aus.

Plenty of goals in this squad Baz.

I think pirloe is great cover and bamford as good as 3rd choice gets in this leauge.
