There's something about him nobody likes. Dirty, stinking, filthy, Yorkshire b@stards Leeds. Good player now though, would be a decent signing in my opinion.

I hear what you're saying but they are hardly the same as having a player on your books, leaving to play for other clubs then coming back!!! There must be plenty more players who we have had on loan, they've gone back briefly then we've signed them.
I'm sorry you don't agree with me, but my opinion is just that, an opinion. I'm sure there is a host of former loanees with which our views would differ
I totally agree. They are opinions only.
I tend to have a similar opinion as your own. Players fit into systems and he clearly fits into the Leeds system. He fitted into the Millwall system when he went there too; however, I don't have as much faith in him as many others do.
I also don't think that he will be in the Brighton line up next year either. He is not a worker and has played under CH before where he did OK but not brilliantly. He is a really likeable big lad but a PL striker he is not. Leicester City didn't take him with them when they went up to the PL either

Fair enough. They didn't take Knockaert either
Thunder Bolt
Silly old bat
They offered him a contract but he refused to sign it.
For what it's worth on that one I think they made an error on Knockeart but they unearthed Mahrez to replace him so you can sort of understand why

We offered Murray a contract to and he went to Palace, it is often fairly straightforward to keep a player if you want
Thunder Bolt
Silly old bat
He went to Liege to be nearer his family when his Dad was ill. His Dad improved in health (at the time) so 6 months later he signed for us.

The article I read quoted him on why he left and he said nothing about his father, he insinuated he didnt feel that welcome (not playing much, contract offer delayed). Perhaps there were more than one factor
From the Leicester Mercury
"The 23-year-old has signed a four-year contract with Liege, saying it offered the chance to play regularly and the attraction of European football that convinced him to move after three seasons with City.
Knockaert, who made only five starts for Leicester last season, said he felt the time was right to make a fresh start.
"I would have been able to re-sign for four years in Leicester but this proposal came in November when the team had returned to the Premier League in July," he told a press conference yesterday."

Agree completely. But better than that Ashley bloke we had. Whatever happened to HIM
Do you rate the number of goals he's scored in the championship ?
As for signing Wood, yes definitely. He is a much improved player who would fit in well and score goals.

Blimey.....What would he cost ? Even if he was available.......15 maybe 20 million ,is my guess.

Did you watch the Albion at Withdean?
Murray was a class act, followed by young Barnes who scored a hatful of important goals from the moment he joined us. At Withdean, NO ONE ever slagged off Barnes. That started when a noisy minority seemed to dislike him at Amex, and has continued with jealousy of his PL status. Woods did well, then fell away and wasn't the fittest. No one whinged when he left. He's taken to mature, and is now producing the goods it seems every game.
