Standard Liege have rejected a £2.2m bid from Brighton for former Leicester City winger Anthony Knockaert.

Very reliable Twitter feed. They only tweet stories that have come from a credible source.

I whole heartedly agree. Up the bid a little bit?, every player has his price.

 

[OSRGull]

£3million should get him.

 

[Marshy]

V good player

 

[crookie]

5 goals in 18 appearances this season, impressive

 

[Urchin]

Anyone know why he was released by Leicester?

Not good enough for PL became a bench warmer

Was offered a 4 year deal but wanted regular football plus to play in Europe

I love these kind of posts. Interested to know how you are familiar with the liege board and management?

 

[saafend_seagull]

I was going to point out that the offer was made in Euros not pounds, but I'll bore off

What a strange comment. Unless you are involved with the club in bringing in new players how the hell do you (or I, or anyone else) know what is going on behind the scenes.

It gets a bit tedious that in every transfer window the club are seen as dragging their feet if a player hasn't signed within a day of the window opening. Surely if terms and contracts need to be sorted out and agreed then it's obvious it's going to be behind closed doors and under wraps.

A bit of patience is required, methinks, by some of us in this matter. Trust the club, they seem to have done alright so far this season.

Yes, they have done well but so much is riding on this transfer window if we are to stand a realistic prospect of reaching the promised land this time.

Don't let him take a penalty.
