Anthony Knockaert signs a 3.5 year deal with the Albion

[dazzer6666]

Very slow but probably one of the most skilful players in the championship of we get him. Great player....

So he is fast and can dribble, shoot, take a free kick, score goals and lay the ball off and has helped a team out of this division very recently?. I am VERY excited about this signing, if it comes off, as we do not have a player like him, even taking into account the injured ones. Please let this happen!

Glad we cleared up whether he has any pace at least......

 

[Rugrat]

Stand out player in their promotion season - will be a brilliant signing

 

[MF'84]

I remember him being reasonably quick, not 'slow' by any means.

 

[Ernest]

Don't let him near a PENALTY

Liking 22 seconds in....although compilation videos can be misleading. See Craig Makail-Smith

That video spells FLAIR.

I'm guessing he would replace March ? Murphy on other wing until lualua returns? Lualua and Knockaert together looks a great combination!

At least the agreement between the clubs looks official - SL website :

My mate is a Leicester fan, said hes a very good player, was gutted when he left them. Takes a good dead ball, and very skilful and tricky. Said he is not lightning quick and can be lazy at times.

Think most players can be accused of being lazy

 

[Farehamseagull]

That is a VERY exciting signing, he was quality for Leicester!

 

[brighton_girl87]

He'll be a great signing!

Just out of interest, has he not had a good season at Liege if they are prepared to sell him so soon?

Money! They will make around 2.5 plus million profit in 6 months.

Gallic flair. Nice.

Only downside I can see is that he's a glove wearer.

 

[fat old seagull]

No it wasn't: it was appalling (suspiciously so, in fact).

Mmmm .... actually Ma'am the post to which I referred to (76) wasn't misspelt, that said I see others have. I trust of course you will I'm sure understand it was just a lighthearted dig at 'the Nigel'.

 

[Stat Brother]

This does, once again, make a mockery of staving the team and by association us fans, last season.

£6.3m of unexpected transfer income, in.
Player budget increase £3m, in an always rising market.

5 in 18 from the wing. I'd call that pretty good. Just not settled well by all accounts and misses blighty.
