Knight off?

[twickers]

What's all this about?

Is it a case a get the stadium and cover the cost at all cost regardless...
or sell the assets now because they're worth nothing with no stadium? Am I missing trick here?

Knight, 22, said: "I've got five months left on my contract until the end of the season and I haven't been offered a new deal yet.

"It's looking like it is going the same way for other players, including me," he added in the Brighton Argus.

Good old Leon. Not only a loose cannon on the pitch....

I've always been intrigued as to what this 'Brighton Argus' is that the BBC are constantly referring to.

Anyone know where I can get one?

Is this contract exploitation by dramatisation or BBC Sport putting 2 and 2 together and coming up with crisis?

 

[e77]

To be fair to the lad at the moment he will be out of work in May.

If I was in the same boat I would be exploring other options.

he didnt really say anything bad - and how is he a lose cannon on the pitch?

 

[Easy 10]

This isn't "breaking news" though is it. We've known for weeks that the players havn't been offered new contracts yet, and that Leons is up in the summer. He hasn't said anything out of turn there.

Or perhaps he is just speaking the truth

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

some people just dont like leon

 

[twickers]

Like all of us I'm just frustrated at the lack of communication, the grand plan for the club beyond or even before a stadium decision.

Leon Knight thinks he's a big shot, he counts a lot of Chelsea/Premiership players among his friends for their 'cool' value, and he would shit on us quicker than you could say 'we're skint'. He did a good job for us last year, but has been ruthlessly exposed at the higher level this year and is nowhere near as good as he thinks he is.

I'll happily second that. Top post.

Has he? Over the last month plus, he has proved he is quite capable of playing at this level, even more so when the players around him are vaguely competent.

 

[Tooting Gull]

Tell me I haven't just been transported into a parallel universe where it's more socially acceptable to spout bullshit than the facts.

Leon has been a complete no-mark in this division - Bobby got goals, despite injuries. Is this the under-18 vote for Leon?

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

since im 21 no its not
zamora had brooker, watson, jones, hart on form chippy, jr lewis all setting up zamora

leon had mcphee and jones

 

[Storer68]

Leon has been a complete no-mark in this division - ?

oooooh unfair me thinks

i mean

1 penalty and 1 goal from open play is hardly a "no mark in this division2

Blimey if he was a no mark then we would find ourselves with a 38 year old up front and a converted centre half as top scorer!!!! Now, how likely is that?

Top post kinky
knight is our best player,and its the seriously bad service and crap players around him that makes him look bad.

He will leave and good bloody luck to him,as he will shine and he is only 22 f***ing how.

This club needs shooting,or just maybe its a plan to cut the wage bill,i smell a rat somewhere.

Losing a 22 yo with his ability is suicide

 

[n1 gull]

Also to be fair to Leon he turned down QPR to stay with us, bet he's gutted now

 

[mr turd]

Yeah i bet,but he has the ability to go places whatever happens.

If i was him i would shit all over the club,the way he gets treated is pathetic
