| I'm optimistic about all the signings so far, although this one seems to be the one that is most likely to be hit or miss in a more spectacular fashion.
One thing this signing brings is a more exuberant personality to the team. Smith's team seemed from the outside to be full of quiet, humble and introverted types (or 'dudes' as Smith would say, which always felt slightly painful to hear). Adding Connor to the mix, and bringing players like Bentley and Newman to the fore in the right way, could really help re-balance the team in terms of its mentality.

| I watched a highlights video of Connor the other day which made me a little concerned about his signing. He is a very off the cuff sort of player who throws speculator passes and kicks. When they come off they are great but likewise when they do not come off it is not ideal. Not sure he is the sort of player we want, albeit hopefully he offers a lot more than what I have seen.
I suspect his running style possibly sets him apart from Momo. He has a step on him and can draw players in and then offload. Centre may be the best place for him to limit his passes and kicks. Hope he doesn't throw too many passes in to touch though.

| I can't see BA putting up with some of Connor's former behaviour (on or off the pitch). He will either fall in line with the plan, or find himself not playing.

I've just watched the interview with JJB and Jake on the Box
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WeDJS8z9B0E
I get the feeling after watching it that Jake might actually end up playing some/plenty of game time at 7 during the season.
Does anyone else get that feeling?
With Ian Blease saying that our transfer window could actually take 2/3 transfer windows to complete the desired squad, then certain players are clearly deemed surplus to requirements who are currently at the club.
Would Conner actually be a better option at 7 if Frawley left?

| Well it doesn’t sound like he’s going to be playing in the Centre that much, don’t want him getting bored. I think he’s actually the first reserve for 1, 3, 4, 6, and 7.
The other thing was that with the number of adverts in the programme, it became unwatchable after about 15 minutes.
