Tom Cannon’s arrival on loan presents a pivotal opportunity for Stoke City, and manager Steven Schumacher is keen to make the most of it. Despite his youth, Cannon has more Championship experience than other options, making him the clear choice for the starting striker role after being handed the number nine shirt. With ten goals in just 33 games, he has shown promise, averaging a goal every two and a half games. If Cannon can stay fit and slightly improve his scoring rate, he could be a game-changer for Stoke, who are eager to break out of a cycle of mediocrity and push for a play-off spot this season.

This summer, Mitchell Curry, the former striker for Sunderland, Middlesbrough, and Inter Miami, has found a new home with Blyth Spartans, a non-league side in the National League One. After his contract with Darlington expired, Curry signed a six-month deal with Blyth, marking another chapter in his diverse career. Curry, who began his journey with Middlesbrough before moving to Sunderland in 2020, also spent time in Major League Soccer with Inter Miami, where he scored eight goals in 23 appearances. Blyth Spartans’ Steve Howard expressed his excitement about the signing, praising Curry as a proven goal scorer with a strong work rate and overall quality.
Aaron Connolly is now available on a free transfer after Hull City chose not to renew his contract in May, and Stoke City should consider bringing him to the bet365 Stadium to strengthen their attack. With the Potters finishing as the sixth-lowest scorers in the Championship last season, additional firepower is essential, even after the arrival of Sam Gallagher. Connolly, at 24, offers more experience and proven ability than some of Stoke’s current options and could be a valuable short-term addition with the potential for a longer commitment if he performs well. His availability on a free transfer makes this a low-risk move that would allow Stoke to focus their budget on other areas of the squad.
Sheffield Wednesday’s recent activities indicate that losing Jeremy Livolant isn’t a major setback for Danny Rohl’s squad, considering they’ve already signed Olaf Kobacki and Jamal Lowe. With a robust roster of wide players, the club arguably doesn’t need further reinforcements in that position.
Instead, priorities should shift toward acquiring a striker, a central midfielder, and a center-back, and they must act swiftly to secure these new signings before too many matches have been played. The potential return of Ike Ugbo is promising, but there’s been little discussion about reinforcing other areas of the pitch.
Rohl has expressed a desire for a new midfielder and defender, though he doesn’t seem to be in a rush. The coach must hope Nathaniel Chalobah and Barry Bannan remain fit, given the squad’s lack of depth, particularly since Chalobah only started seven games last season.
Caolan Lavery, a former striker for Sheffield Wednesday, has announced his retirement from football at the age of 31. Lavery joined the Owls’ academy in 2012 and first experienced regular first-team action during the 2013/14 season, scoring four goals in 18 Championship games. Despite spending loan periods at several clubs, he struggled to firmly establish himself at Hillsborough. In 2016, he made a notable move to Sheffield United after declining a new contract with Wednesday. Recently, following medical advice due to a knee injury sustained in February 2023, Lavery decided to retire. He expressed gratitude on social media, acknowledging the support he received throughout his career. Lavery made 39 appearances for Sheffield Wednesday, scoring six goals, including a memorable brace in a 6-0 victory over Leeds United in 2014.
