For seasons we've been crying out for a player with a trick up his sleeve, someone that gets the ball and attacks defenders with a bit of flair.
IMO Anthony Knockaert will be the stand out player this season (providing nobody crocks him). Definitely gets the crowd on their feet and can definitely put a decent cross into the box.
Just hope the big guns of the Prem don't come sniffing in January.
Knockaert is the key

He is and he isn't consistency is the key and if can add his Gallic dash even better.

You know what I meant though Nev.
We need lots of different attributes to the team ad Knockeart gives us something new and very much needed.

Lets just hope Nigel doesn't fall out with him!
He's a joy to watch and really stands out in this league.
Technique wise he's the best player we've had for years. If we can hold on to him and he stays fit he's the type of player that turns mid-table teams into promotion winners.

As I posted in an earlier thread, for me the addition of Knockaert and Jamie Vardy has been the biggest factor in our success. Both players are hungry and energetic and as you say Knockaert is something special.

I think you're right that we've been crying out for a Knockaert for years, but so has every other Championship club. From what we've seen so far - particularly over the last few games, his quality has absolutely shone. So far, it looks like we've poached a player who's left everyone else scratching their heads and saying "how did we miss this one?"
I'm dearly hoping that "so far" will extend deep into the season and beyond. Keep it up, Knocky!
