MC Prussian Posted 11 January 2014 Share Posted 11 January 2014 Forgive me if I'm seeing things, but this has the air of the current Belgium national football style to me. Given yesterday's game, to me it seems Pearson and his management team are looking to implement a steady 4-3-3 in this side, adding further depth in squad up front with Mahrez. Both Mahrez and Knockaert (both from the North of France, coincidentally - Knockaert being born in Roubaix, just a few miles shy of the border) remind me a lot of Nacer Chedli and Eden Hazard, respectively. That's not to say they're both as good as them (yet), but their style of play is very similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Weasel Fox Posted 12 January 2014 Share Posted 12 January 2014 Many have asked that we sign another winger. Well, we have. Lets hope he's as good as Tony Knocky.. Here's hoping Col Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can easily interchange other players into that based on the team as well, Dyer to the left of me Knocky to the right Its Nugent, stuck in the middle with Schlupp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozleicester Posted 12 January 2014 Share Posted 12 January 2014 Three and a half years? Thats a real commitment by the club to him, which is certainly great in that they have the confidence in theor scouts etc. Do you think it will affect the rest of the side who are currently negotiating? We have offered an unknown a 3 year deal...i wnoder whats on offer to our known quantities? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hack Posted 12 January 2014 Share Posted 12 January 2014 I would think firstly, this is a statement of confidence in Nige and his management team. Other wise why let him offer contracts to new players. Second based on my first statement I am confident that the owners and NP will agree sooner rather than later on his future contract. Then deal with the players who the club want to keep. I don't think the contract issue for the players will be long in sorting out. Only if the players demands are unrealistic i.e. Premier League contract values when we aren't there yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foxfanazer Posted 12 January 2014 Share Posted 12 January 2014 Hopefully this deal has a touch of the Knockaert's about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mack Posted 12 January 2014 Share Posted 12 January 2014 Behind Dyer and Knockaert we are thin on the ground for genuine wide players, so it's great news that we have some cover in this position now. I hope our fans will give him the time and space to find his feet, as The Championship is a very different animal to Ligue 2, and he's a young man in his own mould, and not Knockaert # 2. From what I have seen he is a more pacey striding wide man rather than the box of tricks AK provides, so lets allow him to find his way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THEBIGJOHNSTEADER; Posted 12 January 2014 Share Posted 12 January 2014 Heard a rumour one of this blokes legs is false after a childhood accident with one of those bat and ball on a pole things , not sure which one (left or right) can anyone confirm? I don't think we should be signing amputees on 3 year deals personally . If he hurts his other leg we won't have a leg to stand on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aus Fox Posted 12 January 2014 Share Posted 12 January 2014 I would love to be excited but it feels like he has been here for years already. Im pretty sure some on here can give you his star sign, favourite sitcom, best dressing room joker and worst dressed player before it hits the centre pages of the match day programme. I just wish i had the amazing ability of knowing someone who knows something, then i might have all this valuable information a few days earlier and everyone would love me.

FoxDownSouth Posted 12 January 2014 Share Posted 12 January 2014 A much needed winger to add some depth, he won't start for sure and he will know he will need to work himself into the team. Pearson must believe he has PL quality I agree or he wouldn't have such a long deal Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoxDownSouth Posted 12 January 2014 Share Posted 12 January 2014 Pearson seems very pushy on the point that he isn't just and winger, and plays through the middle too. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Funny you should say that as Mahrez plays on the right but is left footed. Maybe he/Knocky can play in the middle behind Vardy/Nuge and can interchange when needed.

LCCFox96 Posted 12 January 2014 Share Posted 12 January 2014 The 3 and half year deal doesn't worry me. I think fans and players alike should both realise having a promising young player tied down for the foreseeable future is a good thing. It gives him time to develop/adapt even if he is not an instant success, because this guy clearly has something looking purely at the teams interested in him.
