Nearly everybody, on this thread, seems to take this for granted.
Personally, I would be surprised to see the partnership of Knight and Claridge kick off on Saturday. Leon will probably start the match warming up the bench with his arse.

Surely the old <24 thing applies, or is this only for home-grown players?

In my opinion we should let him, he is a striker but is not getting goals. As a manager I would take him off and understnad MM's actions fully.
He clearly is just throwing his teddies out the cot again coz he is not being given a game, Shame really!!

But the story was no doubt absolute cr@p... therefore, how do we know Leon threw his toys out of the pram because he was dropped?...
I have to say that I think playing Claridge and Virgs at the 'ammers was a big surprise... and I am really glad our best strike pairing, IMHO - Leon and Steve - should be playing against Burnley on Sat...
I hope Leon stays... we would struggle to find anyone better... especially with the zero budget that MM would no doubt be allocated to find a replacement...
... and I still don't understand this Jan thing... I thought his contract was up in the summer, not in Jan?... and we would get a fee because of his age...

Can Knight leave on a free if his contract runs out? I thought we were entitled to a fee becsuse of his age.

Was talking to a couple of Chelsea fans on the train up to West Ham, one of whom lived in Hackney, or around there somewhere.
Apparently even at the age of 14, Leon Knight was renowned for being absolutely full of himself, and it was common knowledge that his old man was hawking him around all the clubs, trying to play them off against each other.
This guy reckoned that Leon was getting offers of £500 - £1000 a game from the various teams, at 14 years old...
All apocryphal of course, but you wouldn't be surprised, would you?
