No rush, look forward to reading it.

Yes, it was a good read. What made you think he turned down the new contract at Leicester for family reasons?

'I loved it there but I didn't deserve to be treated how I was last season in terms of playing games,' Knockaert said. 'I thought I deserved better. That is why I wanted to leave. 'I had a very good relationship with the manager but it was hard last season. I think I was better than what I had...

Plenty of young players get offered contracts but don't make the grade also longer contract = bigger sell on asking price. The reason he turned it down was lack of game time. Their manager obviously didn't think he was good enough for a regular place and no other Prem club were willing to take a...

Hope your right I'll keep my money in my wallet though.

True but I get the impression CH gives Knocky a long leash due to his emotional nature. I expect a line is/will be drawn when it has a detrimental effect on the team.

For me his actions today were a step too far. He let his ego cloud his judgement putting himself before the team. He cost us any (admittedly slim) chance of getting back in the game and has reduced CH's selection options at a vital part of the season. This is not compatible with a #together...

At least you seem to now admit his past performances in the Prem do have some relevance to his overall rating as a Prem player. Not the finished article but they let him go on a free transfer. So no other Prem teams thought him good enough to have in their squad which suggests to me he wasn't...

How is assessing his past performances in the Prem irrelevant to judging his overall Prem suitability? He wasn't deemed good enough for the Prem last time, game time is irrelevant. Another Prem team would have snapped him up if he was unlucky not to get a first team place due to a better player...

After not doing it for Leicester last time out, his strop last game which CH generously covered for followed by his petulant antics today ... yes, I think we would be best to offload in the summer for a hefty profit.

Correct, off day but still well placed. Unfortunately, Knockaert has probably finally confirmed he is not a Prem 'team' player. :nono:
