What's that based upon?
We challenged at the top this year with a bunch of players that played for us last year... And he was one of the stand outs when he did play for us.

Would be a great signing. Going to Fiorentina though.

4-2-3-1.
Murray up top, Teixeira in the hole with Skalak and Knockaert either side, Kayal and Stephens holding.

Definite yes for me. I rated him highly but couldn't see him starting every game though.

^ This. Deal already done in principle to join them at end of his Liverpool contract. Zenit were previously taking an interest in him.

I always thought he was a much better prospect than Lingard - and look where he is now!!!

Absolutely. Also, the song we had for him was quality and was getting popular in the stands.

Would be a decent number 10, got a feeling Towell will fill that role next season though.
I'd rather see him brought on, looked pretty decent from what I've seen

If he runs around as much as Baldock does he'd be superb in that role.

Not for me - as skillful as he is I found him too greedy. I actually felt he was a contributing factor to us not scoring enough goals in that poor season we had because he didn't release the ball to others when they were often in better positions and more often than not there was not end product. He wouldn't fit into our team and we have a better player in Knocky.

I'd be interested to know why certain clubs were pursuing him then, if he is not good enough for a championship side?
The lad's about to join Fiorentina and he's not good enough for you?

He didn't half lose the ball a lot.

Is this the player that averaged more key passes per game than anyone else within out side throughout the season?
I don't think anyone doubts Knockaert is a better player, but they're different players and play in different positions. We don't currently have a number 10 in our squad to give us that flexibility... That's what this discussion is about.
Plus the kid was in his first full season as a pro... Understandly he made mistakes.

We were shit that season, I made more key passes from my seat in the west upper than a lot of the squad.
He did very well for his first season playing regular football, all young players make mistakes, it's part of the learning process. I think there is a place for him in our squad, he offers something different and others have mentioned would sit nicely in a 4-4-1-1 formation. He'd be a better player with the likes of Stephens and Kayal sat behind him, rather than Gary Gardner and Danny Holla.

Personally I think he did well for us in a poor side, which is why we should go for him if hes getting more of the ball he can create more and score more.
I also think Victor Anichebe is worth a look at as hes just been released by wba, big unit and would score goals at this level

He could play in front of the midfield if we play with one striker. A 4-4-1-1. But, he'd have to be happy spending time on the bench and rotating. Given contracts that are up in a year or so, I'd see him being a worthwhile recruit. We know he cares and puts a shift in.
