Carl the Llama Posted 4 February 2013 Posted 4 February 2013 It really is incredible the relative peanuts we paid for him. Utd fans must be feeling like right mugs.
dmayne7 Posted 4 February 2013 Posted 4 February 2013 Even if he cost £5 million he's certainly worth more than that now. He's getting better with every game as well. Starting to contribute to the overall team performance more and making better decisions. If he keeps up this kind of progress, we'll be banking a big sum in the future.
Raw Dykes Posted 5 February 2013 Posted 5 February 2013 I'd love it if we went up and he stayed with us, but I'm not getting my hopes up, and if we do have to sell, I'm sure we'll be in for a pretty decent fee. We win either way, really. He's such a great find. I think we need to keep hold of our scouts just as much as we do Knocky.
foxer Posted 5 February 2013 Posted 5 February 2013 I met him tonight getting off the Eurostar. Top fella and he seemed happy enough when I was saying that he should stay at City. My Birthday as well what more can you ask for!
Ozwin Posted 5 February 2013 Posted 5 February 2013 To be fair they've got a point. Not that I want us to sell him. He'll hopefully be the face of this club for years to come.
Langston Posted 5 February 2013 Posted 5 February 2013 I absolutely love our team at the moment, every single bloody one of them.
Langston Posted 5 February 2013 Posted 5 February 2013 And I saw this tweet, much as I love Knockaert, it's utter garbage. Zaha has been sold on, Knockaert hasn't - figures and the like aren't comparable. Football memes are always so, so shit.
ozleicester Posted 5 February 2013 Posted 5 February 2013 50p and a vintage packet of Salt & Lineker. Sauce?
goose2010 Posted 5 February 2013 Posted 5 February 2013 And I saw this tweet, much as I love Knockaert, it's utter garbage. Zaha has been sold on, Knockaert hasn't - figures and the like aren't comparable. Football memes are always so, so shit. ok the price is but the stats aren't, everyone has been raving about Zaha when really looking at them stats there must be at least 5 championship wingers with better stats.
Captain... Posted 5 February 2013 Posted 5 February 2013 I don't really get it, are they saying they have a 15 million pound player and we don't? Even though our player has scored more goals in less games and is actually ours? Or was it created by a Leicester fan? If so why? All it is doing as putting knocky in the shop window.
shen Posted 5 February 2013 Posted 5 February 2013 Zaha is English and has big potential. Hence the expensive price. Remember the pittance that Clichy went to Man City for? £7mil for the current French first choice at left-back, about to reach his peak? French players, despite often being as good or better than their English counterparts, just cost less...
UpTheLeagueFox Posted 5 February 2013 Posted 5 February 2013 Does anyone know actually how much Knockaert cost us??? Lots of people saying 2.5m,4.5m even more. But geoff peters on the forum said from what he heard we got him for 500k-1m. Just wondering thats all I was told by a very good source that it was in the €750k bracket (with potential add ons down the line) as I mentioned on the forum.
JonnyBoy Posted 5 February 2013 Posted 5 February 2013 I will hazard a guess at what he is currently worth, i'm going for 7.5 million.... at the moment, bare in mind he's only played a handful of games compared to Zaha in the championship. Clubs will be sniffing once he has had a very consistent season, if we go up i'm sure he will stay but if we don't i'm not so confident he will stay.
JonnyBoy Posted 5 February 2013 Posted 5 February 2013 I heard we got money knocked off the deal pun intended?
Dylan Posted 5 February 2013 Posted 5 February 2013 Slightly off topic, but does anyone have a picture of Knockaert's salute celebration after his Wolves goal... ?
casablancas Posted 5 February 2013 Posted 5 February 2013 Slightly off topic, but does anyone have a picture of Knockaert's salute celebration after his Wolves goal... ? There's a gif knocking about somewhere. In the let's all do the ........ Thread. If you scroll down DG has added another version with the salute.
