Legend. Loved his passion and enthusiasm for the game - though he did have a frequent tendency to beat the same man 3 times...

Rarely saw AK have a good game on a narrow pitch.

He’s the scapegoat as they paid £10m for him, Fulham are to slow for the PL.

The Premier League obviously doesn't suit him, had three goes at it now, Leicester, the Albion, and Fulham, and failed three times.
Was a great player in the Championship though.

He didnt fail with us at all did he, thats harsh imho. Was also asked to defend a lot under Hughton and always did so.
Selfish a bit for sure, but was and still is good enough imho. He's at the wrong club who dont know how to play to his strengths.
AK needs to feel loved and he was massively here and isn't there.
If Hughton came back in at this level, I reckon he'd still get tune out of Knocky. I miss the petulant little so and so. Box office.
Loved his passion and we got 2 to 3 great seasons from him. Do miss him running down the wing.

This.... he wasn't as good as was in championship but still made some telling contributions alongside some high profile mistakes.
Tbf he’s hardly played for Fulham so far this season in the PL.

Erm...do you know how many PL games he’s played for Fulham

The hardly played is basically not at all....three games on the bench and hasn’t come on once...not his fault Fulham’s defence is useless let alone zilch minutes

Leicester offered him a contract extension but Knocky turned it down to play in Belgium, nearer his family, because his brother died. I have posted the link from the Leicester Mercury several times on Nsc, but the same lazy opinion still gets posted.
Yes - just because he wasn’t brilliant every week, doesn’t mean he failed. Personally, thought he was in and out but comparable with Trossard last season.
IMO he needs to go back to France.

AK is a bit of an enigma good enough to be promoted to the prem three times wth diffrent clubs good enough to be picked as Championship player of the season and picked by fellow professionals to be in the Championship team of the season on two occasions yet appears to struggle at the next level while others who have not achieved his levels in the championship flourish in the prem.
I watched the Brentford v Fulham game this week and it appeared to me AK was really isolated on what looked a narrow pitch but time again AK was a good option but players around him chose not to pass him the ball, Fulhams big centre forward was absolutely useless would not pass to anyone which didn't help, I really thought Fulham was a good fit for AK but on that performance and his lack of general game time I am starting to have second thoughts and at 28 he really should be in his prime it's not as if he's been an injury prone player, it's all very odd an enigma indeed
