So who do we buy for £10m that will have the same impact as Knockaert? Players like Anthony don't grow on trees, we were f'ing lucky to get him when we did and I seriously doubt lightning will strike twice. I honestly feel that if we sell Knockaert we'll be surrendering any ambition of getting promoted this season.

^ Good. What's the betting all the "news" sites decide against using that for the basis of their next Knockaert update.
This, this, this.

Especially as teams will know we've just sold Knockaert and have money to spend. It is our strongest position but Knockaert is the best option and will win us a lot of points this season.

Its no good saying if we had had Knockaert all seasons as we didnt and couldnt have. We have him now lets hang on to him and see what happens.

I know George. He won't be making that up (although, as he says, never say never).

Lol Clark for £5m. He's AWFUL. Two donkey centre backs shame we have no pace upfront.

As much as you're right, and (honestly) I do agree.
AK is clearly the best winger we have, but he is the best of a very good bunch.
Skalak, March, Murphy, Rosenior, KLL, are all varying degrees of good championship wingers.
All helped by playing in a proper wingers team for a committed wing-play manager.
If the amount of money needed is what's stopping the club (Tony) from buying a jaw dropping #1 striker, I think begrudgingly I'd have to make that move.
We have never spent big on strikers though have we. We even ****ed up the signing of that bloke from Bournemouth when he was on the way to sign, even that was only £3m wasn't it ?
No, Tony has never spent big on a striker. (any conversation that has that opening gambit when £2.5m has been spent is f***ed up)
I get it, I understand why, I'm sure I'd be doing the same.
You only have to look at today's thread about the Villa player looking at a £90k a week contract next season, to know it's all wrong.
But in the meantime Tony has shelled out £X on 20+ loanee strikers all of which have been varying degrees of failure.
His staff have put together one of the most competitive squads in the division, easily the best in club history, but it still isn't good enough for promotion with just 3 recognised first team strikers, none of which are truly the Alpha-dog.

Sounds like they are still going to try and will no doubt try to unsettle the player

If you read the quote in the Argus I'd suggest that they are definitely coming back with another bid
