If we don't go up, and a First Divison team wants him, it's a 'win win'. We just slap a '1' in front of the original fee. If the buggers have got the dosh then make them pay.

Why was Knockaert soo cheap?

I was implying CH not Knockaert

Ah, I see that now. Point remains though. At some stage there will be an approach for CH. Always a worry.

Will there though? All the big teams seem to only want foreign managers (and I don't include Irish!)

I can see a struggling First Division side having a try. But I'd rather you be right.

I have no idea why he was so cheap - just be thankful he was !
Would we have signed him if solly wasn't out long term?

Interesting question

Probably yes, as a replacement for Manu as one of our four wingers.
Yes although I doubt the club would have singed Jiri.
Warren A was adamant the boys a winger.
The only thing I didn't like about him was wearing gloves when its not that cold.
However, the gloves did have a picture of a seagull on them, so I wont get to fussed about that.
I just think that footballers should be like post men doing their jobs in arctic conditions in shorts and no gloves.

Surely if we keep him and get promoted then we'll have him for his prime when he's 27/28?
Fantastic business and all aspects makes sense - SL got him on a free so they only saw upside in cashing in for whatever we paid be it €2.6m or whatever. That to them represented good value on their initial investment of nothing so chose to cash in. I expect it was a case of asking the player if he'd like to talk to us and when he did then it was about getting things right for everyone.

Great thread on the Derby forum about 'why didn't we sign him, how did he slip through our net?' as though the great Derby County have got some divine right of first pick of all available European talent. That said, it'd probably be nothing we wouldn't have said on here had they got him...

Not seen such Bravery!
Guess he wasn't on Burke's spreadsheet
Is it because he's made of lemon curd?
This bears repeating.
Could, just could be a Brighton legend if we hold onto him for a while.

What a great January transfer window we had. Knocky and Skalak! Many of us were slightly disappointed we didn't sign a striker, a Calleri or Murray. But look at the last few games, Knocky and Skalak have shot us to within touching distance. The great thing is they look like they're getting better!

Stupid IDIOT
The only doubt is that he is one of the players that starts off brilliantly and then fades, or he realise he has a second chance and can get a crack at the Premier League with us ?
