[Albion] Anthony Knockaert - Bring Him Home

[Icy Gull]

BBC political correctness, anyone who disagrees is just plain stupid.

If that were true we’d be getting Welsh and Northern Irish top division scores before the Championship as well wouldn’t we? As you say I may not be getting it because I am plain stupid though.

I am starting to get a blurred line on banter and seriousness on NSC these days

I wonder if this is the same discussions our recruitment team have when discussing possible loans and recalls.

I find it hard to believe Uncle Spielberg's inward and outward looking take on life has much sway in recruitment meetings.

"He's seen 1917 - sing him up !"

In not one game this season have I thought, we could really do with Knockaert on the pitch. I don’t think we miss him at all so wouldn’t bring him back. A 5 years younger Murray on the other hand I’ve thought about nearly every game!

AK was wonderful in the league below and was a real catalyst for our promotion but we’ve moved on.

I guess by being prepared to pay for original thinking I should be careful for what I wish for.

That said the 8 pence is still in my safe as unbelievably through all of this nobody has said anything pertaining to AK they haven't already said kagillionbazillion times already.




and no that irony is not lost on me.

Yes, I find it really sad that we missed the best years of Murray’s career.

Clown, drivel, feck off, self absorbed prick. Not sure US actually insulted you in any of his posts did he? I just don’t enjoy seeing posters being run down like that. Did I need to comment? No probably not but I just felt a bit sorry for him

Seemed a bit harsh to me. I don't personally attack people on their posts in that way. Seems odd nsc is supportive with well being issues on the one hand and utterly destructive and damaging in others. Words can have a massive impact on someone. 1917 comment was a generic thought that was all. Anyway lets hope we beat Villa

Careful what you wish for, the only real chance of seeing Knockers in the stripes again is next season if we get relegated.

I don't think anyone will ever forget Knocky for how he TORE up the championship with us for a season and a half, but sadly he is one of those players in the Dwight Gayle, or Adel Tarrabt mould - clearly too good for the Championship, but not good enough for the PL.

For each wonder goal v Palace, there were tackles v Everton. For each bedazzling of an opposition LB there was him sulking and not tracking back after one of his runs wasn't found.

He'll be welcomed back into the city with open arms and probably wouldn't ever need to buy a drink in the city anymore, but we have Trossard who, whilst not the finished article yet has everything he has. Teams move on and wherever Knocky is after this season, whether it be Fulham, back with us or another club then he'll always be loved and adored...cos that's what he needs and thrives on.

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

I have lots of time for AK but it seems he’s just not a Potter type player

Yes, I think some of the criticism is a bit harsh.

Trossard post injury hasn’t exactly been consistent and the one thing Knockaert guarantees is constant effort.

I’m not saying he’s better than Trossard because he isn’t, but I’d rather have him as an option even from the bench.

The better Knockaert plays the more money we'll get for him. Imagine if he scored the play-off winner at Wembley vs Leeds?!

Great his price goes up but Ben Whites goes down?

I think the agreed sell on fee was £15m due at the end of the season and written into the loan contract.

Great we don’t want to sell White

 

[Wardy's twin]

If a fee has been prearranged then I would guess there is no chance of getting him back.

 

[zefarelly]

As much as he brightened up our Saturday afternoons in the championship, and occasionally in 2 seasons of PL survival, we've moved on. I'd rather see AJ and Trossard continue to improve than any regressive steps. AK isn't getting any better than he was three years ago.

 

[jimhigham]

It's a digression but I think we really need a win today. NSC has been a bit glum the last few weeks.

 

[Solid at the back]

Knockaert isn't PL quality, harsh but true

Which would be a shame for Fulham if they are committed to buy him for £15m but don’t get promoted to earn the dosh to pay us. I think if we stay up then I would rather have the money to put towards something better. He’s a great player to watch, but inconsistent, frustrating, individualist and temperamental- I would prefer it him playing for someone else.
