I hope not!
Season-long loan to Whitehawk
In all seriousness going to one of the County’s top non league clubs, maybe Worthing or Eastbourne Borough on loan, and getting his mojo back and perhaps getting close to or winning the Golden Boot could resurrect his career.

Maybe not with us in the top half of the EPL but maybe with his form back he can find his niche.

I was very sad to hear this week Leon Knight is back in Brighton working as a cleaner at the DWP, don’t get me wrong cleaning is a job for grafters and I don’t wish to demean it in anyway, but a bloke with Leon’s talent and the prospects he had, he must wonder where it all went wrong?

His contract is up next month, but we have a year extension option. Can’t see him willing to sign a new deal, as assume he wants to play more.

I also don’t think he suits RDZ’s style either.
He's not strong enough on the back post for a big guy which really needs to be a strength given other weaknesses

I think we'll sign a goalkeeper that will challenge and eventually return Steele to the bench once he gets up to speed with De Zerbiball.
And there is the rub. All Sanchez had to do was knuckle down and focus on the De Zerbiball and at some point he would have probably got his place back. Obviously not prepared to put in the work and probably got a move lined up.

Spuds have saved up some money for a new keeper. I’m surprised that he is not being linked with them.
I would have thought both they and Chelsea would be in his ear TBH

And the most ridiculous part is that it is a weakness and addressing it would have improved him hugely wherever he played. After getting so far, why wouldn't you want to improve further :dunce:

In the case of Leon Knight, his ego got in the. Way
Pure and simple
Agree with you about Connolly

maybe the club needs to arrange a chat with him and Connolly....
