Can play 8 or 10. Are the clubs in for him better placed? I imagine it’ll probably be clubs like Ipswich, Sunderland etc won’t it. I can’t see us landing him but wow I hope I’m wrong.

Scott will probably leave. We're not top heavy at all! Williams is tidy! Hit and miss I grant you, but a capable Championship midfielder. On his day a very good one, when he’s in ‘destroyer’ mode breaking up opposition play. And Scott’s staying because he loves us… 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott goes we can definitely splash a bit- Scott stays we have a 19 year old turning 20 who is superb. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pearson especially, he’s earned our trust financially at least. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nugget Posted June 14, 2023 Report Share Posted June 14, 2023 What a statement this would be for the rest of the squad too, top player.

A championship midfielder. Nothing special and isn’t a tool. Might have bad games fair but so does everyone. Obviously injuries have plagued his tenure but for me when he’s been on the pitch he does the job. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not discredicting the work Davefevs puts in at all, but anyone who follows the lower leagues would know that Knight is probably the top midfielder in L1 last season (maybe only after Azaz) that clubs at this level would be in for. It’d be the perfect signing for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we count players who can play there our midfield consists of: James, King, Williams, Naismith, Scott, OTC, Benarous and Mccrorie. 1. Benarous is still recovering from injury. 2. OTC isn’t at the level yet (at least imo) 3. Mccrorie might be playing a number of positions next season 4. Williams whilst decent, imo, is a midfield version of Baker at times with injuries. 5. Whilst all decent James, King and Naismith are all 30+, king quite clearly being slowly fazed out of first team football. See it more as refreshing our midfield with young ambitious talent that can learn a lot from James and king. According to a lot of derby fans he’s best as a box to box much like Brownhill. Not saying Alex Scott is staying but to me I think Pearson and co would’ve been in for Knight either way. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BLRed Posted June 14, 2023 Report Share Posted June 14, 2023 I hold out hope that Scott stays with us like grealish did with villa to get promoted and go up with us to then get his dream move for a vastly greater fee rather than us hoping for a good future sell on fee that like many of our recent transfer out have never come to fruition.
