Leon Knight to Notts Forest for £400K??!!

[Bluejuice]

What a bag of bullshit.

I can't believe some of the responses in this thread.

Leon is easily one of our best players. Why would we want to sell him to a lesser club? Particularly at that price. Last time we were back in League 1/Division 2 he must have been worth a million at least. After all that's what Reading paid for Leroy Lita and he had a similar record to our Leon.

If Leon's going anywhere I'd like to think it is forwards not backwards and to be honest he's unlikely to be attracting very much attention at the moment. We all know he can play better and I still believe we'll make a Championship goalscorer of him yet

 

[Scoffers]

Dick Knight is worth way more than that

 

[Race]

we could swap leon for neil Harris

He's at Gillingham now.

 

[bhaexpress]

He's at Gillingham now.

Yes but on loan. Trouble is that since poor Harris had his run in with cancer he's not quite the same player.

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

Paul Hayes was the answer - could have got him

 

[Goring Gull]

400 k i'd probabaly take that only problem is replacement for him though can't see Pepsi Max or South coast Rooney stepping into his boots but maybe the responsibility will bring then on.

On Century FM last night by all accounts, an 'exclusive' and as they are one of the sponsors of Forest I reckon they didnt just make it up.

If McGhee lets him go its just another indication that his time pulling us into the oblivion of League 1 must surely be up.

Get real

1. McGhee's the man, it's all been said before
2. There are 30 odd professional league clubs in this country that Burley would consider before casting a brief glance in our direction.

Why would Forest pay £400k for a player who is out of contract in the summer?

Knight is still under 24, so if he moved on in the summer we would still be entilted to something.

Whoever asked about what Chelsea get, it is a fairly high percentage, it has been muted at being around 50%.

 

[Bwian]

Yes because stikers are all about goals

Most of them are....those that aren't, aren't strikers.

 

[JJ McClure]

Can we swap him for that Friio fella, he's pretty good?

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

Sickener really, like Chelsea really need 200k as much as us.

 

[Goring Gull]

MM is the man for what though?

 

[GUNTER]

I'd rather have Knight than £400k.

We don't get Century FM in Notts anymore

B@stards. As if they need the cash

 

[perseus]

I thought Leon's value was more like £500K, but throw in McCammon and they can have both for £450K.

WE really need better players!

 

[Barrel of Fun]

If.....and a big IF, Leon was to be sold, then hopefully Chelsea would waive their 50% sell on fee.

 

[Zebedee]

Would you trust Mcghee not to spunk it on another el turi though?

In a word, no.

 

[Uncle Buck]

Why would they do that? We agreed to a sell on when we signed him and so we have to honour it. There is no way a business, even one as cash rich as Chelsea will turn down money that is owed to them.
