Altamullan Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 push the boat out & sign that Knockout bloke from Brighton man Can't see it, unfortunately. He's had a couple of family tradegies recently and looked as if he really appreciated how the club/his team mates rallied around (must increase his commitment). Plus they are as likely to be promoted. That said, I am sure we could offer a better contract would be seen as a better long-term option. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 Knockaert is a good player tbh. But he would cost far more than he is good as a player if you know what I mean. Anyways, on my flight to to the Philippines now as we speak, zippin red wine. Just wanted to check and see if we had got any cunt over the line yet Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanshithispantz Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 Christ not Downing man. This The grief Ritchie gets, he's a f*** load better than Stuart Downing. Downing plays LW so would be competing with Gouffran immediatley, of who he's far better than. A 6 month loan and letting him compete with Atsu/Ritchie/Gouff for the out wide slot would be more positive than negative IMO. If it's him or no-one for whatever reason I'd take him. I'm maybe overthinking it anyway - I just want a left winger who is clearly above almost everyone else in the division on the level of Knockaert 'cos I'm greedy. We could do that imo, but a 6-month loan of someone like Downing is probably more in line with our thinking, I agree. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 Unless the rumours about the Sissoko fee being paid over instalments was actually correct? It probably was paid in installments. They would still have to pay all the installments whether they sold him or not though I was under the impression in recent years that we'd insisted on cash up front for all sales. Could be wrong. You are. We buy cash up front. This....we pay up front to get a lower overall fee, but take outgoings in installments to ensure a good cash flow Also used as an excuse to not spend. Sure we sold X player for £20m but we've only received 5m in payments so far... so we only have 5m to spend. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest firetotheworks Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 I'd happily take Downing, would walk into our side. ...and continue to walk when he was in it. He's slow as fuck. I wouldn't have had Downing at his best tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wants to play as no 10 but Karanka (who he fell out with last year) when he does play him, plays him on the left I'm not sure he could play in the deeper midfield role that Shelvey plays Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
