Leon Knight - A Sheffield Wednesday view

[fatboy]

Leon Knight, looks good in friendlies but put him in the hurly burly of
nationwide games and he doesnt quite do the buisness. We had him on a season
loan last term and he scored either one or two goals for us. Bags of skill
but if he was a golf ball then most defenders are going to be 9 irons (know
what I mean). He constantly gets chopped down and he is only three feet
tall

he was utter shite for the last season, but only time will tell /i suppose.

 

[dunno]

I thought they played him on the wing?

 

[Turkey]

He is going to be a great player for us. Just hope we can extended this loan deal.

 

[Shizuoka Dolphin]

All I've heard is good from those who have seen him, can't wait to see him for myself on Satdi.

 

[Herne Hill Seagull]

At Wednesday, he was playing first division football. We no longer, for now at least, need him to be able to do that unfortunately. I think he scored goals while at Huddersfield at this level?

Also, I'm a firm believer in horses for courses with players - they may settle in quickly and fit into a team well at one club, get transferred elsewhere and go to pot. The fact that he didn't do the business for Wednesday doesn't mean he can't here.

 

[Albion Dan]

Huddersfield played him up front in Div 2 and he scored a shed load, Wednesday dont forget were shit all over the park and played him out of position. He'll do well!!

 

[Wozza]

At Wednesday, he was playing first division football.:

More accurately, he was playing for a Second Division team against First Division defenders.

Chelsea must rate him or they'd have sold him years ago. They're not known for hanging on to English youngsters.

 

[Yorkie]

As has been said before he did really well for Huddersfield and was instrumental in getting them into a play off position when we won the championship.

He didn;t do so well for Wednesday because 1) it was the first division and the defenders are bigger and 2) he was played out of position.

 

[The Beer Man]

I remeber someone coming not making it in his org team and then doin the business for the next few years for us . What was is name again ....?Bobby somthing !!!!!!!

Give the kid a go

 

[Marshy]

If he continues to play like he did the other night, he will get 15-20 no problem imho.

 

[Eddie the Seagull]

He is a real live wire & his balance & his speed of turn are incredible.

My only concern is that because he is so quick, some of these dinosaur defenders may catch him too often as was seen on Monday V Leicester.

That Turkish Twat Izzet would have been sent off, in a normal league game, before half-time IMHO.

 

[Beefy]

Were any players good for Sheffield Wednesday last season?

 

[Rambo]

He was in a bad side last season, this season he will score a few - whether he stays is another question.

 

[Yorkie]

Proudlock went on loan from Wolves and helped them out.

Kuqi did some good stuff for them too.

Apart from that, no.

 

[Gwylan]

There's a Chelsea supporter here at work who really rates Knight. Thinks we're lucky to have him.

Were any players good for Sheffield Wednesday last season?

top shout!!

he was in a struggling team in a northern slum miles from where he lives. its not suprising he didnt do to well.

as far as im concerned he's a brighton boy now and will be judged by what he does in the super stripes and nothing else. or is that super (banana) skins?

 

[Scotty Mac]

i think hes gonna be absolute quality!

 

[berkshire seagull]

If he continues to play like he did the other night, he will get 15-20 no problem imho.

Don't see him being here that long sadly!!

 

[Yorkie]

I can't see why not, Berks. His loans at Hudds & Weds were both long term.

He's way way down the list at Chelsea.
