When we signed Reggie Cannon, we were all surprised.
25 caps for the not insignificant footballing nation of the United States and in his peak years as well, it seemed quite a signing considering it was done without knowledge before and hopes were obviously positive.
The reincarnation of Jimmy Dunne at right back has been fantastic but a player deemed good enough for many appearances for such a nation as THE U S of A.
Now Santos has been signed a right back also.
Thought Cannon would be used regularly but he is not even listed as injured.
We are told Fox, Dykes and Chair injured so anyone ITK about Reggie !!!
His grand dad Rusty had a big hit record in the in 30s with the Ivor Novello song “shrimp boats is a-comin'” Rusty's son Freddie had numerous hits in the 50s on the Top Rank label including “giddy up a ding dong” Freddie hoped his two sons would carry on, but one became a fitter's welder and the other a welder"s fitter. One of them begat Reggie, whose football career ended abruptly when he joined a football club in West London, Europe called QPR (Wiki)

Think people were so glad to have anyone but Kakay that we overlooked Cannon not being particularly good at some key aspects of being a full-back, notably defending and attacking.
Signed a long old contract though so I assume we’re pretty keen to get rid.

Cannon hasn't played a part in the last 3 games so there's clearly a problem. It's suggested above that it's his attitude and that's been an issue at previous clubs. Can anyone further explain?
Contrary what many said on this MB that he was a good player......well I have not seen it myself. He made a lot of very basic errors defending and whilst he did get forward a bit he was also not very good at it. Strange that he played so many games for USA but look at some of the plyers that have played quite a few games for England against nobody teams and this maybe it is the same with Cannon.
He will be offloaded soon, if we can get him off h books.

If we can get any kind of fee for him, would end up being a win win given we signed him for nothing and at a time where we had nothing to spend doubt he is on much. Weird signing all round.

I saw him yesterday walking from Jack Tizard to the players entrance at about 2.30pm, the road was busy with fans, he had a security guy next to him and not one person approached him or noticed which probably says a lot.

Do all the players have security or just him? Genuinely interested. I could understand Andersen needing a roided-up kaiju armed with a shitty stick to beat off his legions of fans, female and otherwise. But Reggie? Out of uniform, I reckon most people couldn't pick him out of a line up.

Seemingly he has three years left on his four year contract, worth about Stg1.95m, which is about Stg12.5kpw per an internet site.

Looks extremely light weight and fragile to me.
He struggles with the physical stuff , we lost several goals when he was out muscled to a far post cross. Every corner felt like a penalty until Jimmy got back into the team .

This. Marti had enough of his lack of heading capability. He's tall enough and has a presence about him, but he does not use it well.
Cost us a goal against Norwich which put us 2-1 down and then Andersen did some magic and Frey's only goal to get us back level again.
Marti saw enough, played him once more and then sacked him off with the experiment known as the Irish Cafu. That says a lot about what he thought of not only Cannon but loyal Kakay as well. Marti took a risk and it worked. Credit the manager for trying that out and making it work when we were desperate for points.
Cannon is very good defensive position-wise, which makes it hard for wingers to beat him with pace. Hes so good at that, that many wingers don't even bother taking him on (which I think is poor of them). Due to his excellent positioning he is also excellent at interceptions as well. Managers like players who can get the ball from interceptions.
However, his tackling for a defender is very average. Hes not as good at it as our other defenders, not even as good as Field who is a midfielder. His heading capability which should be good is actually very poor.
When Marti talks of Santos, he talks of him being a RB playing RW only for now as we are short. Meaning if we get a RW in as recent reports say and the manager wants, then we shall now have 3 RB's at the club with Cannon being behind them all. If we can get rid he's defo off. I suspect he will be loaned out abroad or to another Champ club.
