THE OFFICIAL LEON KNIGHT THREAD - Will he or wont he?

[MRRF 10]

Pencil won't do - don't sound right

'Pencil to paper' don't sound as good as 'pen to paper'

It will have to do if there is a pen shortage.
Has anyone got any pens, the pens are running out, no i cant live without pens.

 

[berkshire seagull]

Yeah agreed we can't keep ignoring the playing side!

 

[Brixtaan]

they're just bitter.

 

[MRRF 10]

He hasn't actuall signed for anyone yet, i dont think(correct me if im wrong) so that means he is still on loan here.

 

[Ex-Staffs Gull]

Why Leon will sign for US

Pluses for us

1) He likes Coppell
2) Ben Roberts lives in London, Others live in Portsmouth etc, he could easily commute from London, so location is not a problem. 3) He is ambitious - Now some seem to think this is a QPR plus, but I disagree. If he signs for us, he knows he has a high profile, and we will not stand in his way if / when a big club comes in. QPR are not the limit of his ambitions, I would imagine a return to Chelsea would be top of his list, so which club offers a better staging post ?
4) We have (well documented) a good dressing room.
5) We Will match QPR's wages.
6) He is playing well for us as a hero, or move to a club to start all over agin in the same division without a pre-season to get to know the lads etc.
7) He is Guaranteed a start as a central striker with good delivery, unlike at QPR where he has competition from Furlong and Gallen and Sabin. (He remebers playing out wide at QPR)
8) We are both in the second division and will be until the end of the season.
9) QPR are a direct team, we play with width, as a small striker, what would you prefer.
10) He seems like a nice lad, not motivated by money (i.e. leaving Chelski for first team football).




Pluses for QPR

1) Near to Chelsea and London based
2) Bigger / permanent ground
3) Have as good a team as us.
4) ..... errrr help me out......

 

[Artois]

Right that's it. I can't take any more.

Merged threads coming up................................

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

Re: Re: BHA v QPR Comparison's for Knight to consider...

He's going to look at the two clubs and see that QPR is A BIGGER club. In no way can you dispute that fact...

 

[fatbadger]

As I said elsewhere, the sensible decision is us. Coppell, the opportunity to score more than he will at QPR, proven record at nurturing young strikers, just as much of a shop window as QPR, he'll be worshipped, etc etc.

 

[Shizuoka Dolphin]

5) Good takeaways near the ground.

 

[Artois]

 

[Gwylan]

While it's true that Coppell is a good manager capable of bringing out the best in a young player, it's fair to point out that Holloway is no slouch.

Zamora, Cureton, Ellington to name a few will attest to that.

 

[Marc]

Nice to see I started this one <cough> somehow

Its tense alright...very tense

[Shizuoka Dolphin]

This thread doesn't scan right now they're all together. Can you break it up into individual threads please?

 

[Lush]

Yeah - well the threads wouldn't be quite such hard work if you could get your signature down in size, dwayne.

 

[Beefy]

This thread makes no sense now.

 

[Artois]

This thread doesn't scan right now they're all together. Can you break it up into individual threads please?

HA HA HA HA

 

[fleet]

As you say the thread makes no sense, but it doesn't make sense that a guy who has been on loan for seasons is suddenly want by ssomeone else as soon as we want him! Just like it was with Sidwell (Sidwell who? before he played for us)

 

[Curious Orange]

It is a conspiracy!!!
