August 22, 200916 yr He's quite simply an awful, awful signing. I don't care who has a go at me for judging too early but he can't control a bouncing ball, he's slow and he just kicks and heads the ball up in the air anywhere. Waste of money! End of story!
August 22, 200916 yr knight is a good center half and his performance was much improved on last week .Robinson though is a shocker to slow and gets caught out of position to much. He will get mullered next week off kuyt . j loyd s got to start for me.
August 22, 200916 yr aye it was Would that be his debut after his debut, as he played for us against Sheff U on the last day of the seaon 2 years Earlier. Kev D made his ebut that day however ....
August 22, 200916 yr Didnt think he was too bad today, Ive seen worse recently Cid, Michalik, Shittu Obrian... Not worth 4 mill tho.
August 24, 200916 yr I think Knight will do alright for us. He's new to the team so he's need to settle in plus the fact that the rest of the team is playing sunday football is sure to rub off on him. When Anelka or Youri signed did you notice how there play rubbed off on others. It's the monkey see monkey do scenario.
August 24, 200916 yr but Ronaldo looked shite after 2 games :rofl: and every vile fan i have spoke to rated cahill and was sorry to see him leave
August 25, 200916 yr Sorry to agree but knight is shite and robinson is fecking shite i wouldnt say they are shite, the are solid average players. robinson is a defensive improvement on samuel, but certainly not attacking improvement. knight is barely an improvement on an 'in form' aob. hopefully knight will be a little more consistant and he does seem better in the air.
August 25, 200916 yr Agree we've got to give the lad time to integrate etc., BUT there were a couple of very alarming occasions on Saturday where Knight was so static in the box it was frightening. At one point he had his back to play, was facing his own goal and let a Hull player in for a clear chance on goal. I haven't seen such basic bad defending for a long time. I'll be honest - I'm fkin worried...
August 26, 200916 yr robinson is a defensive improvement on samuel, but certainly not attacking improvement. knight is barely an improvement on an 'in form' aob. hopefully knight will be a little more consistant and he does seem better in the air. in the two games I've seen I am not too sure about that! He definitely offers a lot less going forward though As for Knight, it takes a bit more time to settle into centre half keep him in there and let him and Cahill get used to each other. If, he trips over his own feet / misses a simple ball that costs us a goal then I might change my mind though :D
August 26, 200916 yr I don't think any of the new signings have been helped by the fact that 3 of the back 4 are new. Normally if you bring one player in, then the rest of the defence are used to playing alongside each other and they just have to work on integrating one player into the new system. I just think that it will take time for them all to get used to each other, personally I would only have brought Knight in, though if Steinsson was injured then I suppose it would have to have been two of them. If Knight is as good as an in form AOB then he is by definition an improvement as I don't think we have seen the best of Knight yet, I do feel that he will form a good partnership with Cahill. I wasn't too disappointed with the signing of Robinson as cover for Jlloyd but not as a replacement, hopefully Jlloyd will keep his place for the next few games. Still not decided on Ricketts, I feel that he is a similar player to Steinsson and with a few more games as part of the new unit we will probably see this.
He's quite simply an awful, awful signing. I don't care who has a go at me for judging too early but he can't control a bouncing ball, he's slow and he just kicks and heads the ball up in the air anywhere. Waste of money! End of story!
