toontownman Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Where has all this hate come from on their end? Always liked sheffield weds. Forestieri links because his agent (and many others) was at SJP yesterday? Looks like we are genuinely after knockaert. Would be surprised if we don't go back in.

Kanji Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Last time I truly thought of Knockaert was few years ago when he had that double penalty saved and Deeney hit the winner on a thunder volley in stoppage time and the ground went bezerk. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bhoywhonder Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Hope we sign him and loan him to the blades just to piss off that daft f*cker! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mighty__mag Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Knockaert, another Carr recommended. Basically our old Scout report, resubmitted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
summerof69 Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Just had a look at the Brighton forum they absolutely love him and would want a lot of money. To them he's the difference between promotion or staying in the championship Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallace Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 If he is that good, I am surprised that he has not been linked with Premier League clubs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bimpy474 Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 If he is that good, I am surprised that he has not been linked with Premier League clubs. Think he's one of those who knockabout in the Championship because they're brilliant in that league but just lack something for the top flight. Or maybe Rafa has seen something that could be developed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tubestationatmidnight Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 That's what we need a couple of players who are seen amongst the best in the championship and have proved it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bimpy474 Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 That's what we need a couple of players who are seen amongst the best in the championship and have proved it Absolutely, but i think Rafa is looking at players he also thinks can do a job in the Premier but haven't had that chance. It's a great way and really is low risk especially if you get up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
xLiaaamx Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Knockeart wouldn't really be a worry about stepping up I don't think. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bimpy474 Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Knockeart wouldn't really be a worry about stepping up I don't think. Agree, even more so with Rafa wanting him, you just know Rafa sees something else/extra. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tubestationatmidnight Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Wouldn't worry about next season too much just make sure we are good enough for this season first. Plus the money if we do get promoted plus Rafa in charge and our status as a club will allow us to sign quality if we get promoted Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tubestationatmidnight Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Exactly that yeah. Just focus on getting a quality championship team then can build on that next summer with the extra money. A United Newcastle with Benitez as manager and back in the premiership would be the biggest draw in the league other than the usual top 5 or so to a lot of players Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Seems quite a while when we haven't signed a player we've made an initial bid for? Only player I can think of over the last 14 months is that full-back who chose Valencia. Think we'll get Knockaert if Rafa wants him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ElCid Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 If we want players unfortunately we are going to have to pay over the odds to get them as clubs know we have money. Gayle was at least 4 million overpaid in my opinion and Hanley at least 2 million overpaid. Ritchie was about right in the current market. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gayle was at least 4 million overpaid in my opinion and Hanley at least 2 million overpaid. Ritchie was about right in the current market. It's all about scale. Paying a million or two over for proven championship players isn't really a big deal for us, Gayle and Ritchie could be argued to have done the business in the premier as well tbh, given half a chance.

toontenacity Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Knockaert is class. My Brighton supporting mate has been saying all year that he's the best player in the league. To get him for mega $$$ from a title-challenging rival would be incredible - akin to City going and buying Hazard Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering the investments and all the incoming players so far; would we want him to stick around for a second season if he is unable to get us promoted on the first attempt?
