Billy Knott

[flowerpower bee]

afc wimbledon fans are raving about billy knott, a teenage midfielder
they have in on loan from sunderland for a month.

apparently he's an absolute dynamo, a sublime passer of the ball
and can look after himself.

he sounds like a player we should be looking at

If he's that good, whats he doing at AFC?!

 

[hanworthbee]

yes my mate was telling me he is the best player they have ever had and is miles too good for league 2...he was at chelsea i believe, released and snapped up by sunderland and is from essex

 

[Bush Tuckerman]

Bizarrely my mate from Sunderland was talking about Billy Knott last night - apparently he was one of the Leeds youth guys that Chelsea poached away for quite a bit of money! Left Chelsea cos he was getting himself in a bit of trouble, and headed to Sunderland!

Most Sunderland fans are surprised to see him go on loan!!

 

[TW1Bee]

Should have a deal tied up soon

 

[nick logan]

How did we let this one slip

 

[condorman]

Theres bound to be a hitch

 

[wrightybee1664]

This deal and Jason prior, they look like they have done good business this window without breaking the bank!

 

[scruff puppy pup]

Yeah, I mean if Szcesny was good enough to be a top Premiership goalkeeper, what was he doing at l'il ol' Brentford?
Duh!

the knott loan was down to the nottingham forest connection between
afc wimbledon assistant manager stuart cash (remember him?) and martin o'neil

the loan only runs until the start of february
and we do have close ties of our own to sunderland

Do we have those ties? Knott to Wimbledon, Cook & Noble to Carlisle, R Noble to Derby. Laing (forgotten where he's gone).

Yes we've signed Reed (pretty average but v young) & Adams (also average) but I suspect that the above players will make more of an impression.

I would like to take a look at Tounkara (sp) - not a great goalscorer at Oldham but he can certainly make a lot of room by his physical presence & maybe take the weight off GA & CD a little.

wasn't one the forster/bruce connection from Brum?

 

[Bigbee]

is he so good that he needed his own thread and couldnt be added to an existing one ?

Here's a sample of what Knott can do.

reminds me of Paul Evans...

spent £100k on strikers of late

 

[WarrenBee]

I know his brother Reef.

 

[wrightybee1664]

Very true, £100k on potential, the kind of transfer we would be after.

 

[bees66]

spent £100k on strikers of late

AFC Wimbledon have broken their transfer fee record to sign Stevenage striker Byron Harrison for an undisclosed fee.

The 24-year-old, who has cost the Dons a five-figure fee

 

[hanworthbee]

plus Jason Prior

that Sammy Moore looks good

 

[absenteebee]

I've heard he's very slow. In fact my Granny can run faster.

 

[bees66]

plus Jason Prior

His new manager Terry Brown was delighted with the coup..

 

[horshambees]

plus Jason Prior

Pissed off he went there.We could have had this lad.20k and a friendly or 2.Good luck to him and I wish him well.Gonna follow his career having watched him meself.

 

[KGB]

Original fee mentioned when he was going to Eastleigh was £12k I believe.

Yes I know.AfcW have paid 16k.20k would have outbid them I think youll agree.
20k was the figure banded around last October.12k 16k 20k whatever,its small fry compared to some and not going to break the bank......

 

[SmiffyBee]

....all sounds a bit ropey to me....

Maybe our hands were tied...

 

[zuko]

Obviously the future will tell, but I would prefer that we missed out on players going to Swansea than League 2 clubs.

Sorry, agree totally with your point.

Was just trying to emphasise the point that it really wan't big bucks & certainly not £100k.
