You don't think Knockaert is worth 6 million in the current market, You are talking shit mate. Ince went for 10 million to stoke earlier in the season James Mclean for a similar Value. Even if you only see him as a top end Championship Midfielder in the current market he is easily worth 10 million+
Personally I still think he has a alot to offer and I wouldnt sell him unless he wants to go, in which case I wouldnt stop him due to limited game time.
I'd tell them that any deal for Knocakert has to include Jack Clarke coming the other way.
Clarke will be worth a lot more in a couple of years, but its still a good deal for Leeds, as Knockaert would get them over the line for sure.
I think you're right. That could be the component that virtually assures them of promotion.
I'm glad you don't deal with our transfer negotiations then.

Knocky is twice the player McLean is and twice the bloke.

Knocky is the sort of player that is the difference between a top 6 side and top 2 in the Championship. He's worth 15-20m on that basis alone. Besides, he's actually a very good PL player when he's on his game; I personally hope that the club wouldn't even want to sell him and that he sticks with us for many seasons.

Shame he hasn't been on his game much since we've got to the PL. I agree with the rest of what you say.

As we progress - and if we are to progress - all our players, even our favourite ones, will eventually be replaced by better players. That includes Knocky; whether this is his time or not depends on our excellent management team, plus of course there is the extra factor that every player has their price - ultimately there would be a point at which the money would be too good to turn down, though probably unlikely that anyone will offer that much.

La la la, not listening.
Blimey. I'll join those who think you're mad. He was destroying the Championship when we were there, and Championship teams pay a lot for someone capable of doing that. In the PL he's competing with AJ, Jose and Locadia, who all cost around £15m.
Plus one for the "that's completely bonkers" camp.

Sorry but that's nonsense, 15/20m? no one would pay that for him! He set the Championship alight whilst we were in it, yes, but he really jhas struggled to adapt to the Premier League for my money. He has had to change his game, track back and become more defensive minded, and l think he finds that aspect very difficult.
Given more time perhaps we will adjust, but personally l doubt it. At his best and happiest when he is running at and terrorising opposibng defences, but he won't get the chance to do that in the Premier League.

Newcastle bid £15m for AK a couple of years ago. He's worth at least that

Nice to have the extra option as you so rightly say, but some posters on this thread seem to have blue & white tinted specs where Knocky is concerned, he did a massive amount to help propel us into the Premier League, but every player, even the most popular ones, have their day in the sunshine, and the day comes for them to move on

Any side in the championship near the top would happily pay 15m for knocky as he’s almost certainly going to get them promoted and a guaranteed 100m plus it’s a no brainer
Of course. I just don't think that day is now.
Once Jose and Ali J are fit it MAY be that AK's chances are so limited that he needs to go.
But we all know what Chris is like for integrating new players, bringing players back from injury.
No way we should sell him any time soon. He is also capable of proving everyone wrong with a couple of MOM performances which would make the argument null. We'll see.
Be worth £££ to Leeds if he helps get them up
