Knight just didn’t have that in him. jimtastic56 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure why, as he’s played at a higher level recently. Think I was just hoping for a younger option with a potentially higher ceiling. Pennington or the lad released from Man United’s academy who was at Portsmouth on loan, someone like that. Could still happen I suppose as we need multiple bodies at the back. When it comes to Nelson, he did perform well for Blackpool last season and just remember that Craig Forsyth looked like a top CB at this level at times last season. It’s not a high bar. Pennington is a good example, because he’s a player who was wrote off, laughed at and absolutely trashed whilst playing in the Championship but looks accomplished in League One. The strikers at this level aren’t great and when you get a genuinely decent one then they score goals. The WhoScored algorithm had him rated as Blackpool’s best player last season.

I’m repeatedly banging on about the collective being more than the sum of its parts so he could be a very good pick up, as I said he has recently played at a higher level than us, is younger than Curtis, Stearman and Chester….guess I’m just hoping we get someone young and athletic too. A Nelson or Bradley as the central lynchpin of our defence with Cashin on the left and A.N Other on the right wouldn’t be too shabby, Forsyth and Rooney as backup.

Nelson is exactly the sort of CB we should be signing if it’s accompanied with one or two younger ones. We’ve lost a lot of experience in that position so Nelson’s know-how will come in handy. Also great to sign an ex-captain. Carnero, CROSSWORD, JuanFloEvraTheCocu'sNesta and 3 others 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had that altercation back home where someone got seriously hurt as I remember and the club supported him. They also took him on when he was a youngster diagnosed with a bone condition and his other offers fell by the wayside. He thanked us by saying he been waiting for weeks for Burnley to get a deal for him over the line and putting out that lovely thumbs up tweet when QPR beat us to send us down. It's a no from me. On a lighter note my wife worked with a girl who was due to go out on a date with him. Turned up in his tracksuit and she told him if he couldn't be arsed neither could she and shut the door in his face.

JuanFloEvraTheCocu'sNesta Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 Seen some talk about Clarke Harris for like 1.2-1.5 million. I can't see Peterborough selling that low and I can't see him wanting to stay in League One. Is this a genuine rumour or just some wishful thinking?

He’s always been known to be a bit of a t*** in general. When QPR relegated us and his response was to just quote it with “+3” showed that he has very little respect for a club who has helped him have a better career than his ability probably deserves. Even if it was a social media team on his behalf, you have to have more awareness than that. Even without all that, I don’t think he gets in our team anyway.
