[Albion] Knockaert joins Fulham on initial one-year loan

[Sheebo]

Another good decision by the management that was derided by a lot of people.

Probably / possibly. Different players perform differently at different clubs and in different teams...! Personally wish he was still in our 25, but perhaps that’s nostalgia.

 

[Nameless]

Agree about the decision. But the rest is not true. A few acolytes made a lot of noise, but my recollection is that most felt he wasn't up to it and that we'd moved on.

Lies.

He was a fantastic player for us, our super defensive tactics for 2 seasons didn't show his better side. I thought he would have a decent opportunity with Potter coming in but he likes players who play a certain way and was brave enough to move other players on without it backfiring.

Norwood is such a player who looked fairly steady for us but has shone at other clubs. You don't win 3 promotions in a row without having some ability

Def more than a few. Plenty deriding Potter for letting him go and calling it a ‘massive mistake’........it wasn’t.

[Is it PotG?]

I would like to see him loaned out to us, our present form would give him the opportunity to really put on a show

AK's problem is that the PL is too fast paced for the way he plays, he likes to slow the game down and beat players in one vs one situations which just doesn't work as defences are generally quicker and more intelligent than in the Championship.

He's never been particularly fast and I think you'd struggle to think of many successful modern PL wide players who aren't at least reasonably fast. He's an excellent Championship footballer but just can't see him cutting it in the PL, even in a more attacking side than we were under Hughton.

Ruined Man Utd at the Amex MOM performance v Man City in the semi final. He was good enough just very inconsistent.

Just think a number of us would have liked to have seen what he could do in a more attacking possession based style. In the end it seemed like he was happy to go so fair enough.

I know we've moved on and evolved, but I do miss that Bruno/Knockaert combo down our right, it was so effective with them working in tandem. Montoya gets forward but never really seems to have anyone to combine with, nobody works an overlap with him like those two did.

Now we just have to make do with one lil lad having to overlap himself...






...with ease.

 

[Is it PotG?]

Makes me smile, which is rare enough.

Stephens moves on, many accept (with some reluctance and sadness) how important he was to our promotion and beyond but maybe Potterball required different players.

Knocky however tugs harder at some heart strings.

I know who I'd rather have in the PL trenches, given the option.

Isn’t that what’s been discussed the last 4 pages?

Apologies. I only looked at the last 2 pages (mine are 10 message/page) and it wasn't mentioned. Thought it was news.

In the least surprising news of the day:-

AK reported in Nottingham in advance of singing.



Apparently there's some kind of technical difficulty as some old duffer faffs around with his phone.

They could add a Wilson from Liverpool on loan too.

That pair could easily fire them into the Premier League.

I'm sure some Albion monger of doom will be along to piss on this fellas chips:-

Wrong thread

Would love him to go there. Don’t wanna play against him. Love the guy! Weird they only just signed him! I think they did it before they got promoted? I guess a date was in there and covid made that date come before season and they had to decide?

 

[DJ NOBO]

One day , Knockeart will fail to get a champ side promoted. Maybe not in our lifetimes, but one day.

I think the initial loan back in July 2019 had a compulsory purchase clause in it so they didn't have any options apart from handing us over another £10m
