Definitely this.
Muzza and March too, they’ve much loved at games, thousands applauding them in the warm up, or if they warm up as a sub.
Their haters are all signed up and active on NSC. But still heavily outnumbered!

Love Knocky, hope he stays.

Up the Albion!
Knocky gets me out my seat, has defenders on the back foot. One of my favourite EVER players in the stripes. Has so much left to give, he's at his peak I'd say, but with still a bit to prove in the PL to the doubters. What sort of game will he bring under Potter? That's the exciting part for me. Knocky totally unleashed to cause mayhem is what I'd love to see.
DO NOT want him to leave.

I don't disagree with any of that - he is exciting, he's that sort of player. But so was LuaLua. Knockaert, to a certain extent, was the upgrade on LuaLua that we needed to progress the team. I don't think the final product has been good enough, which is why I would take the money from Fulham and allow Jahanbakhsh and March to regularly play from the side that their strongest on.

So, Ulloa's goals, Bissouma's undoubted potential and Knockaert's exciting attacking play had nothing to do with their popularity, just their songs... :doh:

Taking £15m for Knocky so that Ali J can get regular starts on the right would be an astonishing gamble. Ali J could have played on the right all of last season ... were he good enough to displace Knockeart from the side.

We intimately know how good AK is/was in the Championship. So ask yourself this, how many goals would Knockaert get in Eredivisie?

I can’t see Knocky leaving unless Potter tells him he’s surplus to requirements, which is unlikely.

He’s already said he wants him in the squad it’s now up to AK and the club out of his hands so to speak.
He’d be a bigger fish in The Championship. I think this might suit his character better.

The same Leicester who haven't and don't want to sell Maguire, are "miles away" from agreeing a deal, have priced him so high that Man United are pausing for thought, haven't made a bid for Dunk and have other targets and Bloom has priced him so high that everyone is freaking out.
How likely do you think it is ? .
Utter nonsense
Which part?

Not seen such Bravery!
Now that Potter has publicly said he wants Knockaert to stay, I can't see this transfer going any further.

Well, I've spent five minutes with the egotistical midget.
Have you?
Seems to me you are acting a bit pissy because I've suggested your 100-mile-an-hour hero isn't a shining light in the community or model member of society.

The part where you attribute a personal goal difference to him. The part where you highlight the word "antics" as if to insinuate, again, the falsehood that he's got a bad attitude.
I largely agree with this. His skills were well suited, and tricky enough, for the Championship where he could beat multiple players before cutting back onto his left peg for a shot. Move this up a division where players are more savvy and it loses its effectiveness. Over the past 2 seasons there’s been many moments where players have completely read him and negated his impact especially that moment where they know he wants to tee up the ball on his left.
Take the money and invest.
