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

[Blue Valkyrie]

No surprise and explains buying Clarke from Portsmouth as opposed to people saying 3 at the back . Play either Clarke or Burn and let White develop at Leeds.

Clarke more likely to be Balogun's replacement. Dunk would be replaced by someone as yet unsigned.

Unbelievably gutted. Yes he was inconsistent in the prem and yes he was hot-headed at times but he was our most exciting player by far. He's the player that makes you excited for the match when you see his name in the starting 11 and disappointed when he's not. Honestly so sad as well as the fact I think he could've had a serious impact this season.

That being said, from what I've heard he's probably doubling his wages and can go back to being a championship star + no player stays forever. Time to spend whatever cash we get from the loan + free'd up wages (as well as the rest of our budget) on livening up our attack and filling the holes in midfield + rightback

New managers must have a say in the type of player they want. Inevitable that there'll be some existing players out the door when a new manager comes in. Looks like a good move for all concerned to me.

Thanks for the memories Knocky and good luck at Fulham.

So many armchair jobbies think they know better than the manager and all the other professionals at the club.


It's such a shame they have to be so full of bilge and can't just say:-

'Well that was fun while it lasted, good luck and stay safe AK'.

Dunk being unveiled at the KingPower tomorrow - a great bit of business for us, our bank balance grows ever larger. Happy days.

Where did this snippet eminante from? I can't be bothered to wade through all the posts on this thread.

 

[DJ NOBO]

The only good thing about this, is Knockaert was paid too much (in comparison to the rest) so that issue has gone away

 

[Weststander]

You would rather keep March As a winger he’s shite.

I rate March, it’ll be interesting to see how he does, without the instruction to stay rigidly in support of his FB.

 

[BensGrandad]

I would assume that AK is a loan with a purchase at the end of the loan. Hopefully will free up wages to bring in Maupay.

 

[Napper]

If we go down / potter sacked I assume we will see him again

 

[miffy6]

Legend.

 

[HantsSeagull]

Wages freed. Got to be £45K per week extra for the new striker now.

you would hope that is the rationale. believe it when i see it.

disappointed.

This!

With the club bust and TB selling to Mike Ashley.

Could be a gloomy future all round.

 

[Green Cross Code Man]

GP said it’s a good move for AK and the club, so clearly he was happy for Knocky to go. We must trust in the club!

He's hardly gonna say it was a bad move is he?

 

[Sarisbury Seagull]

Sad to see him go, he was a wonderful player and character for us as well as being the catalyst to us moving from one of the better sides in the Championship to a favourite for promotion.

But, I am confident in the management of the club that this is the correct decision for us going forward. We needed to make some brutal decisions to move on as a club and this along with sacking Hughton is the correct call in my opinion otherwise we would have just carried on treading water or start falling backwards. I would also move on a couple of the other players from the promotion side now.

Good luck to AK, he will always be an Albion legend and I’m pleased he’s moved to a club I like.

 

[BensGrandad]

Clarke more likely to be Balogun's replacement. Dunk would be replaced by someone as yet unsigned.

Obviously don't know but not sure that we will sign another CB as we have 4 plus White out on loan who we could recall in Jan if needed.

 

[British Bulldog]

Sad to see Knocky go but if we want to move to the next level these decisions have to be made.

 

[DarrenFreemansPerm]

No, hopefully he's not. The absolute last thing we want is for the club to take notice of some of the clowns on here.

I’m a clown because we don’t share the same opinion? That seems reasonable.

 

[Steve_PPP]

Bon chance Anthony.

We'll miss you at the Amex. Thanks for scoring the winner at Palace - still our last league win. Without that goal the run-in would have been even more nail-biting.

You mean like knocky was told as well ? I bloody hope your right . March not got any knocky magic in his locker .

Gutted to lose one of our best players. Must be more to the reason why he has gone.
