Leon Knight

[nocoat]

Only thing i have agaisnt him is what he did in the P.off game at Swansea when he dived and got Nelson sent off. But hes still a class player

Guess he aint so bad....

 

[Gee Bee]

Endearing personality.

[Mary250550]

got to be honest, dont really like the bloke. But if he could score the 20 odd goals a season to keep us up then lets ave him. Jus put him in the team, im sure he would get on with a few of the team. when owusu is back it would be an ideal partnership.

 

[The H]

My adsl has been down for 5 weeks so I have missed all the gossip. What did he do next to the dug out?

don't worry, i haven't been near the dugout in the last 5 weeks..

 

[Holysmit]

Now back at Swansea apparently.

I know he's trouble and everything.

With everything in mind, would a move for him on loan till the end of the season be the worse idea ever.

His problems seem to be arrogance and not playing every week. Surely a team like us couldn't afford not to play him every week.

The goals he'd get could keep us up then we get rid before he causes to many problems.

Obviously thats in an ideal world.

But lets face it we're at a situation where we have to take some kind of risk, and this might be the right one.

I'd take the risk

A better team should snap him up - but he has a very bad reputation e.g. how he'd laugh himself senseless if Brighton went down

I agree, I don't like the bloke either as he seems like a ****, but I think right now we're missing something he can add.

Being realistic, if we go down, we could find ourselves in a position where we won't be able to get back up here for some time/ever.

As much as its a big risk and he may cause trouble, the only way we're going to get a player of his quality is if they are trouble imo.

 

[LboroBee]

indeed.

In times like these, does it really matter what a player thinks, they could worship cabbages, sleep in the bath and speak Klingon for all i care as long as we stay in this division.

 

[sgaz]

Knight is a little **** :yes:

That isn't an issue for me though i could swallow my pride, he is undoubtedly a talented player as we have seen countless times against us, and would do a job for us.

He probably earns more than our first team put together though, isn't gonna happen for that reason alone

 

[JBN]

I detest the little ****** and would happily run him over, however, if he was wearing a Bees shirt and helped get us out the mire, I might brake a bit earlier.

I can't believe his wages are as high as you think.

Didn't he go bankrupt while at Brighton? and he is known as a bit of a liability. So beggars can't be choosers.

I would imagine his agent would have a hard time placing him if he wanted stupid money for a pain in the arse.

As his contract at Swansea must run until the end of the season at least, he's hardly in the position of a beggar.

In terms of goalscoring and all-round play he'd be a useful acquisition if (a) we could afford him, and (b) he was willing to come - not sure either of these apply, so an unlikely signing

Don't most football contracts comprise a basic with top ups for appearance and goals?

If so, then he currently stuck on an unknown basic.

He does love himself a bit.

 

[Simon C]

He's a prize ****

He's a prize ****

I will save this post.

WE AGREE.

In years to come this day will be known as Agreement Day and will become a national holiday.

 

[bigmac]

It seems that his is brilliant in the third tier of english football, but get him above that and he is rubbish. Wouldn't mind him in our side, even though I do hate him. Scores goals at GP like they are going out of fashion.

 

[Jimbee]

He's probably 3rd or 4th top scorer at GP in 2006. :grey:

 

[sgaz]

This seems a bit of a strange one to me

Can't see there being room for both of those ego's there (3 if you count McLeod), shame that

McCleod is in the midle of a long suspension so that maybe is the reason why they are going for him.

 

[Mads Bee]

Don't care whether he's a sh*t or not, he is a proven goalscorer and could do a job for us. Obviously MA has been talking sh*te with him - probably about the early blooming of his daffsD ) and won him over on that count!!!
Suprised he has agreed to go there, having turned down Peterboro and Northampton already but there 's one thing MA can do and that is talk, the talk. With Mcleod having a 5 match ban - he may get his chance or maybe Mcleod is off to pastures new.......

 

[sgaz]

My point is can the dressing room cope with Knight, Allen and McLeod. All rate themselves quite alot if you ask me

 

[Stanley]

Yeah but only one winner in there....

If MA feels he can tame him then this could be a smart piece of business..

 

[bigmac]

Bloody MK Dons!!!

 

[jlove]

Le-on Ker-night is a player we don't need anyway. We need a good old-fashioned centre forward; we have plenty of forwards who can play off a CF - Kuffour, Ide, etc., and they will score as long as they are not expected to do it all on their own.

 

[super_bees]

The only reason MA has bought him is because he scored aginst us last year...

 

[bees 1992]

would have been useful for us

 

[bees66]

a good signing... *****

 

[BrightonBee]

Blokes a complete tit, I wouldn't want him anywhere near Griffin Park. Shame that such a lot of talent is going to waste, MK Dons? As he showed against us (numerous times ) and others he has all the attributes of a very good player - but his attitude is absolutely rotten.

 

[I Predict A Riot]

A good signing by Martin Allen and MK Dons. He's a natural goalscorer. Promotion for them this season and they'll be pushing for promotion next season as well.

 

[wibs]

'Martin Allen signs Leon Knight'

If that had been true exactly one year ago, we'd be playing in the Championship at the moment not staring down the barrel of League 2.

like Isiah Rankin you mean, May 2004?

No guarantee...he doesn't exactly have the attitude, something that was important and one of the reasons we ****ed up last season...

The Messiah that is Martin Allen......bully the board into signing several players from higher divisions on ridiculous wages because they are the type of people he can motivate to win games against teams with lesser players.
Then he throws a wobbly, loses the dressing room, promotion is not achieved!
MK Dons will have a staggeringly high wage bill to work off in their New stadium and will be playing catch up to MA monetary madness.

We are well shot of him! Would love to see him manage a side in any division with a squad made up of players experienced in playing only in that division!

 

[The H]

McLeod off this week then.

And the attitude of our players is great?!

He is a proven goalscorer, an absolute tremendous player and surely that is the managers job to be able to turn that attitude around..

Class signing, I'd loved him to have come here.

Entirely agree he is a class act at this level. He has scored some great goals at GP.

 

[Jimbee]

If we'd signed him, he wouldn't have scored the two goals against us to knock us out of the play-offs.

Depends if you believe the rumours about him, doesn't exactly fit the profile of a 100 percenter with values vaguely akin to a community club...

 

[Edmundo]

Very true. Someone else would have done it instead. :sad:

 

[JTofBFC]

What values are they then. Something along the "it's not the winning it's the taking part" I imagine !!

I was thinking more long the lines of Guns and Roses..

Has Leon turned the players against MA already?

 

[The H]

:laugh:

 

[Holysmit]

Indeed but didn't Swansea pay 135 or something like that thousand pounds for him, long before DJ was sold?

 

[rambo]

I cannot understand why MA would buy a player of Knights ability from a higher division, and then with his best striker (McLeod) out suspended start Knight on the bench (he came on at 46 minutes when down 3-0)! If i was a manager and had signed a player like this he would be straight into the starting side espically with McLeod suspened!

Maybe the MK's fans are going to get a taste of the end of our last 2 seasons when things go pear shaped!
