The Leon Knight Debate

[Mendoza]

So he was a little
When we played to his strengths, and he resepcted the manager he played well and was a great asset to the team
Personally i think we should have kept him and built the team around him and we would have had more chance 0f scoring the goals to keep us up, more so than McCammon, Turienzo, McPhee, Robinson, Kazim-Richards, Gatting and Noel-Williams

The Championship is a massve step up from league one, but I think he could of done the job if treated rightly.
Coppell had him sorted, and he flourished, McGhee less so and he went a bit rubbish.

These stats are an interesting read, and put great cases for both sides of the story for should he stay or go, or is he good enough for the championship

shud have kept knight and disposed of jock

 

[Goring Gull]

Magoon the buffoon - clueless

 

[Beach Hut]

Why debate about a player who has left us ?

 

[Icy Gull]

If only life was as simple as Knight good McGhee bad or vice versa

 

[Easy 10]

God hasn't this been utterly done to death now ? The little toe-rag has found his level, its really not worth picking over the bones of his Albion demise every time he knocks one in for someone else is it.

take him instead of walcott?

 

[¤DãŃn¥ §êãGüLL¤]

I have no doubt he can be a hit in the Championship in a decent side. Looks like he'll be getting the chance to prove himself one more time next season.

 

[RonnieO'Sullivan]

undoubted talent...

just have to accept the package that comes with him...

 

[Da Man Clay]

How many threads have we had on this since the 4 months he has left. He was a complete xxxx, get over him.

[northstandnorth]

got a bad gambling habit(he looses, how bad do you want?) worked his ticket out for a cut price transfer and the maximum signing on fee.
waste of space and conference bound

AND HE CAN ONLY SCORE AGAINST SLOW THICK STUPID PENALTY GIVING AWAY DIV ONE DEFENDERS.check his record,mostly penalties

he had two championship seasons with us(DONT EVEN PRETEND THAT HE HAD FALLEN OUT WITH MAGEE THE FIRST SEASON)

he failed miserably

just as he did at chelsea qpr and wednesday and he is only a bench warmer at swansea

div 1 at best,div 2 for maximum effect

(DONT EVEN PRETEND THAT HE HAD FALLEN OUT WITH MAGEE THE FIRST SEASON)

why pretend? he had

 

[Bwian]

More wanking over the little shit...for fucks sake: HE IS NO LONGER A BRIGHTON PLAYER.

Get over it.

 

[Giraffe]

For anyone in any doubt as to what an utter twat Leon is his remarks after our relegation proved it.

As my eight year old son says "I still love Bobby Zamora, but I really hate Leon Knight".

If an eight year old can work it......

I'm glad he has recognised what a real role model should be.

 

[British Bulldog]

Cant believe the little twat still has to be debated everytime he scores a f**king goal.

He's EX- Albion and wont be welcome back.

 

[Eggmundo]

But the problem is the circumstances of his departure will always raise the question "What if?".
