Dan LCFC Posted 17 September 2014 Share Posted 17 September 2014 If he has a bad game he's shit and has been forever. If he has a brilliant game he's the best player we've ever had. That's how it works He hardly ever has a bad game though. I know he supposedly did at Stoke, but how often does he play genuinely poorly? He's always a threat, he's the best dribbler of a ball I've seen at Leicester and his vision is terrific. For the amount we paid it's one of the best deals we'll make. We'll be the top 6 side he plays for. Knew someone would say this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danno Posted 17 September 2014 Share Posted 17 September 2014 I dont see Knocky as a Championship level player, nor do I see him a premier league one (yet). He's a tweener. He'll get his chance. Hahaha what a load of absolute bollocks. He was clearly too good for the championship. Weren't you the one moaning that our defence was 'so championship standard' about a month ago.

Knew someone would say this He was poor against Stoke, got little space and didn't look like doing anything. A player as slight as him will always have a hard time against Stoke.

Yeah it was me, and a lot of other people. I have since said I was wrong.

Freeman's Wharfer Posted 22 September 2014 Share Posted 22 September 2014 Do we riot if it's only a loan?! In all seriousness, I'd hate to see him leave on loan. I still think that, whilst there's not really a place for him in the 11 at the minute, he still deserves a shot at The Premiership with us. His time will come again and he'll have a lot to offer us.

ozleicester Posted 22 September 2014 Share Posted 22 September 2014 We are now premier league, players are part of a squad and have to accept that. I love knocky and think he can do a job for us, I have no idea (obviously) about what hes thinking, but you can either be a squad member in the prem.. or a playa in the Champ, they have to decide.

EGBFitness Posted 22 September 2014 Share Posted 22 September 2014 Maybe a short loan deal with option of recall will do him good to get the match sharpness back. Can't see him getting in ahead of Vardy/Nugent/Mahrez and maybe even Albrighton at the minute. He had his chance against Everton and looked short if the mark, didn't take his chance in league cup either. He is an excellent championship player but needs abit more development to make it into premier league IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ttfn Posted 22 September 2014 Share Posted 22 September 2014 I think this would be a strange time to let him go on loan. We've got a run of fixtures coming up against sides who are likely to set up deeper against us, particularly having seen the damage Vardy's pace can do behind, and Knockaert would be a really useful player to have in the squad for games like that.

Quality in the Championship but not a Premiership player, though I do love the kid! He has a great attitude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has a great attitude. well he has never been a winger, he's a no 10 and has more than enough pace if played there, he will struggle for it on the wing though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, think his defensive work needs abit of work too, Everton are strong down their left but made it harder work for RDL He's attitude is fantastic and it is great to see a player love the club so much, hopefully abit of development training and maybe a short loan will see a improved Knocky who can step up to Prem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlos88LCFC Posted 22 September 2014 Share Posted 22 September 2014 well he has never been a winger, he's a no 10 and has more than enough pace if played there, he will struggle for it on the wing though Yes he has enough pace to play as a number 10 but I don't think his tactical awareness is good enough there and he will get bundled off the ball too easy. In my opinion anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merging Cultures Posted 22 September 2014 Share Posted 22 September 2014 It's a team game and a very long season. We need him in the squad. He will be called upon at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcfcsnow Posted 22 September 2014 Share Posted 22 September 2014 Doesn't he like to bomb down to London every weekend to get the train back to France? Norwich would make commuting back home more difficult, that said a loan would be a good move to get some much needed match fitness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuchsntf Posted 22 September 2014 Share Posted 22 September 2014 If on loan, then 1-2 months max. He can fit into this team, especially if Nugent gets a knock, or a different game plan is needed. I would just say, stick in there anthony your time will come, your worth your place in the PL, andvwill have an important roll to play at Leicester.

Candidcamera Posted 22 September 2014 Share Posted 22 September 2014 If he plays how we need him to play he will be in the team. It is really down to him. Once in the team he will be difficult to shift.We have played the first 5 games and tactically there was no room for him but when we need inventiveness to break down a defence he will get a game. If he wants to leave even on loan he should see how Lloyd Dyer is faring at Watford. He has a lot more pace and defend well. Not the same qualities that Knockaert brings but it is difficult to an instant success. He should stick at it. All about educating him really.

FoxLAD Posted 22 September 2014 Share Posted 22 September 2014 He will play at some point, But who would you drop? Nugent? Maybe but he's doing well at the moment and would be very harsh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
