Striker going cheap!!

[Groo the Wanderer]

19 goals in 25 games (4 against your good selves I believe).

Anyone know who'd want a slightly soiled Leon Knight. (Almost) free to a good home. :sad:

 

[The H]

nah, he has an attitude problem

 

[Jezybee]

Knight and Jo are too similar. I'd have Jo anyway, Brentford doesn't need a Billy big balls.

 

[Mr Cynical]

I'd have here like a shot.. sadly, no money, no chance...

 

[beedeleted]

He is a good player and better than what we have other than kuffour.

 

[Caucaunibuca]

He is better than any striker we have here. Obviously cant afford him. Nice thought though!

edit: your manager is a moron. 20 goals in 37 games?! Plank

 

[Wise old Bee]

So what were the "disciplinary reasons" that got him dropped at the weekend then? Same ones as when he was at Brighton?

 

[Brentford_till_die]

Trundle or Akinfenwia please

There's a good few thousand that are in 100% agreement with you, he has a habit of buying players, falling out with them and giving them away.

Knight = #3 after Gurney and McLeod.

Anyway, what's happened to you lot, started well enough, seems to have fallen away. Prob come down to see another game soon, you'd better win!!

Rumours of fights with other players (Robinson and Tate), only rumours though. Got a strop on after being subbed against Tranmere.

We'll probably never know.

Can't score, can't defend, no confidence, no money, but apart from that we're fine.

 

[Infatuated Bees Alter Ego]

Nasty piece of work is Knight.
Wouldn't touch him with a barge pole.
Typical little person, with a BIG attitude.

No gaylords at GP thankyou.

I'd pay good money to watch those 2 beat the hell out of each other

 

[bigmac]

I'd pay good money to watch a rhino gore Tate into oblivion...........then we can all throw salt in his wounds!!!

:yes:

 

[North London Bee]

Let me throw another name into the ring - Michael Ricketts, now out of a job after being thrown out of Southend for being too porky.

Maybe he is another reclamation prospect !!

 

[Aberdeen flyer]

Typical little person, with a BIG attitude.

And what is a typical little person? Just asking like.... :scratch: :scratch:

 

[Les Beeavinu]

Short?

 

[-superbees2k3-]

Short?

lol

no its true though a lot of short arses do have a big mouth

Watching him miss the penalty and then the look on his face after sending barnsley up was nice

 

[wayfarer172]

leon knight or duncan ferguson hmmmmmmmm. offer fitz and pilloch in return

Not the 1 cap England wander Ricketts? Couldn't trap a bag of cement. Weight problem.
He wouldn't be cheap either.

 

[hitchinb]

Why don't we get it? Players who are dumped are dumped because they can't do their job. Managers can't make a habit of getting rid of good players because the board and the fans would string them up.
No more lardy arses. No more has beens. No more 'might have another season in him'. I don't care how much 'experience' a former championship or prem player has, if he can't run and can't shoot and can't tackle, I don't want him. Save the cash and get in more youngsters.

 

[AB]

Well, if he's been chucked out of Southend I imagine that there isn't a queue of clubs waiting for his services. I predict he'll turn up at MK Dongs.

I take this is a joke?

Leon Knight probably the best player in the division - attitude or not, I'd take a chance!

The best 'small' striker at this level by some way IMHO. If he leaves Swansea he may well end up going up the pyramid, rather than down it.

Michael Ricketts is only 27 years old and has spent most his career playing at the top level. When fully fit he is quick, powerful and very good in the air.

Now I'm not suggesting he'd touch us with a barge pole but he's not the dumped has-been not worth a go that you guys are making out.

A good Ricketts would tear this division to pieces.
