Knockaert - The standard of signing we needed

[Mutts Nuts]

What impresses me most about him, it isn't his skill (that's obvious), it isn't his passion (that's obvious too), it's his high intensity runs. I've not seen a player like it, he covers so much ground, but a lot of players can do that as long as it's fairly low intensity, but my god the amount of high intensity sprints and runs he makes is unreal. It's just relentless, even in the 93rd minute he was still sprinting full pelt. Amazing.

It is his effort that is the difference, and it is rubbing off onto the rest of the squad, tonight showed that

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Quality signing, skill, passion, pace, commitment, good crosser, good free kick, good engine, knows where the goal is and bags of spirit and character. What's not to like apart from the French bit ... but nobody's perfect.

Don't be such a tit

 

[Easy 10]

He's a GEM of a player. I was chuffed when we signed him, and in the 2 home games I've seen him in, he's already surpassed my expectations. With Knocky already carving teams up, if Lua Lua comes back into the team in the form he was in before he got injured, and if Murphy can maintain the level of performance he showed tonight, then frankly, we are looking absolutely ridiculous.

 

[Gazwag]

A brilliant player he was everywhere tonight. Just flicked though the game on tv and even when the final whistle went he was off running with the ball. He will win and save us so many points. Best player in the stripes in the amex history. Never thought Vicente could be beaten but knocks has so much more in his game. He's like the Duracell bunny.

 

[AZ Gull]

I wasn't sure if it was him or a Brentford player that was referred to - I just heard 'bought from Shrewsbury' and '£1m' mentioned and assumed it was Goldson. I completely agree on the bargain though. Greer and Uwe have a task to get into the 11.

The commentator was talking about Brentford's Ryan Woods.

 

[AZ Gull]

Brilliant.

Hughton needs to work on his decision making.

But he's brilliant.

Really? I think Hughton's decision-making has been excellent.

 

[atomised]

I was impressed with Knockaert's stength in holding off challenges. Looks a stunning signing and could easily weigh in with 6 or 7 goals by seasons end on that form.

 

[DFL JCL]

What a great start to his Albion career. He reminds me of dickov when we had him on loan down here from arsenal.

 

[London Irish]

Screw that big lump Rhodes, Knocky is the signing of the transfer window for the Championship. Great work by the scouting team and Hughton.

 

[Garry Nelson's teacher]

Great set of wheels! Serious pace, you could see the defenders not knowing whether to dive in. Also played with great freedom. Great the way that the crowd warmed to him - injected pace + atmosphere. Will make an impact in the campaign surely?

 

[Bozza]

Has a bit of gallic arrogance to him.

Love the way, after he scored and slid on his knees, he gave the smallest of little gestures with his head that said "There you go, have some of that!" Cantona-esque.

A massive crowd favourite already - what a signing!

 

[Frutos]

Absolute class act.

I bet every other team in this division, and a few in the one above, would have him in their squad without question.

 

[Hugo Rune]

I thought the loss of March was devastating. That performance against Birmingham was almost a 10. I have to say, I did not expect Knockers to be performing to March's high point so soon or so consistently. Is be better than he was at Leicester? You'd only let him leave (Murray style) if you had a serious world class player as a preferred option.

 

[Brighton TID]

What impresses me most about him, it isn't his skill (that's obvious), it isn't his passion (that's obvious too), it's his high intensity runs. I've not seen a player like it, he covers so much ground, but a lot of players can do that as long as it's fairly low intensity, but my god the amount of high intensity sprints and runs he makes is unreal. It's just relentless, even in the 93rd minute he was still sprinting full pelt. Amazing.

I read an article when he signed and he said he likes to give absolutely everything in matches. He is an inspiration. Proper team player

[portslade seagull]

He is going to go down in Albion folklore

 

[Weststander]

Vicente, without the injuries and age. Knockaert is immense.

 

[BensGrandad]

What must be said is that CH has addressed our weakness and recified it so it augers well for the rest of the season if he can keep on top of it

 

[Triggaaar]

Vicente, without the injuries and age. Knockaert is immense.

Let's not over do it. He's been really good in the few games he's had for us, but I doubt he'll ever be as good as (the young version) Vicente.

 

[OvingdeanSeagull]

Let's not over do it. He's been really good in the few games he's had for us, but I doubt he'll ever be as good as (the young version) Vicente.

He's never gonna be good enough as the Vicente who was having £36m bids by Real Madrid rejected for him, but I don't think it's unrealistic to say he could be good as our old, crocked version of Vicente - except without the old and crockedness.
