Pepe the Horseman Sheff Utd looking likely. Don't think this will end well for Selles.


Harvey Knibbs is a good player but is he good enough to be in a promotion winning championship team? I don't think so. If Selles waves a few million at us for him then take it and reinvest. Although not a like for like replacement Josh Bowler coming in doesn't leave us much weaker if we sign a clinical forward. I'd say it could be very smart business from the club.

Does seem like he's off, and wants to move on with championship interest. Quite telling he's been in none of the promotional stuff re kit releases etc.

Some Twitter ITK claims £2.5m has been agreed with an unknown championship club which if true we should obviously take.

Leaves us seriously short offensively though.

Would rip someone’s hand off for 1.5m+ tbh

Been brilliant for us but he’s a bit limited and last year of contract? We’d obviously miss him but would give us some budget for a replacement

Talking of nonsense heard something about PNE being in for Ben Elliott. Can’t see it with his injury record

The price has to be right, no way should the club sell for anything less than £1m as Reading will obvs. have to replace him.

But Sheff U? Reckon they could have a new manager by Xmas so would it be worth it?

To be fair, Knibbs has been great for us and kept a good relationship with the fans. He deserves a shot higher up the league. I would hate to see him go, but if he does go, I wish him well.

The difficulty for us becomes getting someone else in who we can build around. If we don't go up next year, we'll likely lose savage and we could really do with some consistency in midfield, we need to be signing permanent players there, really.

If someone wants Knibbs now the length of his contract isn’t a big deal.
They are paying for what he adds to their team this season….

It’s another reminder of how insanely good that couple of weeks was before 23/24. Knibbs, Smith, Bindon, Savage (who looks the real deal to me nowadays), Elliott on a free… whoever sorted that lot out - probably saved the club and more on top

Absolute mad set of signings that, and it included Wing too...

Hang on, this could turn into a positive thread about the previous regime.....

Apart from Bearwood, Wing, Bindon, Savage, Elliott, Knibbs, Smith, frozen ST prices, Purple Turtle shirt, subsidised away travel.... what did DY ever do for us...

Fair enough. Hopefully it's a good deal. Wish him well.

Not sure you need to be ITK to know it was true. The interview the club posted with Noel the other day made it clear Knibbs was going.
