TM already had a AK type player. His name was Mandachi. Both players are hard working blue collar type wingers with not much IQ or vision. Although I would rate Madanchi higher because of his ability to play with both feet unlike AK.

I don't get what point you are making. I am saying ARJ is two years younger and in his first season in England, whereas Knockaert is in his 7th season in England. You said you dumped him because he was not good enough, and now surprise surprise three years later he is doing well in the Prem.
You are comparing ARJ after 3/4 of an injury and AFC plagued season to two players who have played pretty much their entire careers in England. All I am saying is give him a chance and some support. He is only 25 and he has had one or two games where he has looked really good. I am confident he will adjust and improve. Even on the Brighton forum it's constantly said that him and Bissouma stand out in training, and that's coming from their teammates.

Very true.
I said it at the beginning of this thread when everyone was complaining about him getting playing time and I'll say it again:
Give him time!!
Hopefully he will make it and grow into the league. Even in the case he doesn't and has to move, I still have mad respect for him in the way he has managed his career to this point. This is what we want from the youngsters; to constantly challenge themselves even if it means being in unfashionable teams in small towns in favor of being a starting star in shit teams a la Pouraliganji (biggest waste of talent of this generation in my opinion).
AK spent his best years in Dubai, he does not get any credit for spending only 2.5 seasons in BL in his entire career! That was an absolute crime against himself, he would have been one of the best footballers in the world had he not been so stupid! I plan on telling him when I see him too :)
AK was the rare player who got better playing in Dubai. Look at his Asian Cup 2004 performance he was in Dubai at the time...pure talented guy, just couldnt be any lazier.
Although had a good season at Bayern before getting injured...
