Hello everyone! Personally I would love to see Knight come to the Royals he seems to be very much like Defoe in that he is quick and a good finisher. Kitson is struggling with a few injuries and Forster is out for a month so we could do with another young, quick striker and Knight fits the bill. We do need a centre half more though. Well done to Brighton this season though I was certain that you lot would get relegated but you have done great! and West Ham 0 Brighton 1:D :D :D :D I don't get tired of seeing that!! Best of luck this year apart from when we play you again:thumbsup:

FALMER = YES:falmer:

He's a talent that Brighton have yet to really plan around or play in a proper role.
It's not doing him much good to have hopeful (aka hopeless) balls belted into acres of space while he's marked tightly, or at head height, or on the wide wing, or while he's got 3 defenders to get past with no help - and expect LK to work wonders alone.
Virgo is still an 'apprentice' forward as far as I saw, and doesn't have a tuned-in rapport with Knight that worls for them both. If we had a proper partner with some quick mind for clever flick-ons and return passes into space, then I believe we'd get even better return for that and so would Knight.

It's a wonder how we are doing as well as we are with the single-dimension style of play we have, but full credit to the players and manager for getting these results. They are deserved, but let's not blame Leon all the time for having a different style of play to the 'heads-down and hoof-it' players. He's a player with flair, and I don't know if we really want to exclude them from our game-plan forever in favour of grinding out 1-goal games with resilient defences.

If I were manager, I'd be looking to complement LK and accomodate his game a little more - not flog the bloke or wear him down and stunt his skills.

What he said. Knight will score plenty this year, playing with a striker rather than a defender up front will help.

I would be gutted if he left, a truly talented forward, he will score goals in this division, im convinced of it.
