    No idea. To be honest I liked the idea that he came to us, so maybe something might be thrashed out

    Not going to ask for a source as always happens, as you'd have said if you felt you could, but is your source reliable?

    We could offer to name the new East Stand after him?

    If true, he's got a bit of a nerve offering his services to a club whose wage structure isn't remotely near what he'll be looking for and well he knows it. If big time Charlie seriously wanted to return to his roots, he'd have to be prepared to take a huge drop in wages and live on the millions he's tucked away.

    yeah but if we are to sign another striker, we need to get rid of one of the other strikers and nish would get my vote as he is a similar player to o'connor but not as good.

    Stokes won't be here long I reckon. Benji either. Every so often, two big guys up front could be just the ticket - it certainly doesn't stop St.J's playing a wee bit of football from time to time.

    Totally agree, certainly looks like he is getting ready to come home as he has also purchased a rather large holding in 'Le Monde'....way too much cash

    We'll see O'Connor back at Hibs one day, But hes reaching his peak and if given a chance he could still make it down south.

    A mate of mine was speaking to GOC today and pretty much told him what the OP stated. Said he didn't want to go to Celtic in case he didn't get a regular game and was keen to come back to ER, but we couldn't put the cash up for wages.

    Hmmm... maybe be good for 8 goals a season, then spend the rest of the time on the Physio table.
    He obviously knows he's getting punted from Brum if he's looking to come back up here.

    spot on. O Connor was a machine, full of power and running. If we were to lose one of our Strikers then he would be an ample replacement.

    Never say never. Look at Stokes/Miller did we ever expect to see players of their quality at ER....I would say no.
