Must be knocking on the door or at least being watched by the management setup? Thoughts?

Here's one who said we didn't need another CB

The attackers / attacking midfielders who featured in their last game, were:

Pogba
Greizmann
Payet
Martial
Gameiro
Gignac
Sissoko

Cabaye and Kingsley Coman were unused subs

Giroud out injured
Benzema unavailable

He has some competition.

(Never say never though - he is still only 24 years old)

Can't imagine a 2nd tier player regardless of how strong a season he's had getting selected for the French national team.

If we get promoted however, maybe a sniff.

I would have thought there would have to be a lot of injuries. Payet couldn't get in the team until a year ago, and he was lighting up the Premier League.

France are very strong at the moment, must be one of the favourites for the 2018 World Cup.

Wow, highlights some of England's failings then! Agreed that's a pretty competitive list of players to get the nod over.

Plus the likes of Lacazette, Ben Arfa and Ousmane Dembele......

Too far from the sun
Lets hope he's not being looked at. I'd rather he spent the international break with his feet up or doing some light training than being kicked over an international pitch

But true eh?

Keeping away from the Duffy thread ?

Are you some kind of imbecile? Yes, I was one of the people that couldn't understand the need for Duffy, in hindsight he's been a fantastic addition, made us stronger and hence our defensive record is so impressive?

You do realise people can have opinions and as with Duffy be proved wrong and actually be pleased about it? Move on.

Indeed - three more good shouts.

Ben Arfa is a direct 'competitor' to AK.
Lacazette would be nailed on to start for England, yet France can afford to overlook him entirely, for perceived 'attitude issues'.
Dembele looks hugely promising (as does Coman)

Might be biased but I'd take him over ANY of those others!

With limited knowledge of the others only what i see on the telly right this minute i would agree with you , some of the stuff he manages to do with a football is ridiculous , if i had been a floating supporter and came to the amex for the 1st time and watched Knockaert i think i would want to go again , one of those players you would enjoy watching no matter who he plays for .

My comment that Kinsley Coman is 'promising' is ridiculous, come to think of it.

The lad is TWENTY years old, and has ALREADY:

Won the French league twice.
Won two French Cups
Won Serie A
Won the Coppa Italia
Won the Bundesliga
Won the German Cup
Played in a Champions League Final

How did our own recruiting team not pick him up? Barber out!

So that makes me an imbecile because i pulled you up on something you got wrong even after i explained it to you why we needed another CB? Thanks :):-

Due to France's huge depth of talent...

I would say we are much, much closer to be talking about Dunk in an England shirt , than AK in a French one.

In fact, I'd be more keen to see If Knocky had any English grand-parentage....!!!
