Jason Knight

Poor season, needs to get out of Derby and get himself an agent who will get him a deal where he primarily plays in his preferred position. He is an 8 imo, not creative enough to be a 10, but has a good engine, reasonable passing range, tenacious and a bit of pace. This season was a wasted one in terms of his development, but he's still very young, so has time!

If he stays there, then for me at least, his place in the Irish set up becomes highly questionable. Surely he will move on. There are lads like Azaz and Connell who had better seasons than him in L1. He needs to move this summer, he can't waste another season down there! Who is his agent?

He needs to move this summer, he can't waste another season down there! Who is his agent? And to add to that, we had I think 7 midfielders in the Championship this season (Cullen, Molumby, Browne, Smallbone, Hendrick, Szmodics & Coventry). That number could double next season: Hodge, Azaz & Phillips will all likely have Championship moves. McGrath will hopefully get a move away from Wigan. Jack Taylor has had another good season & is going into the last year of his contract - will likely be sold. There's chatter that Connell could have done enough to get a move if Barnsley don't go up. There's Noss & Johansson, too, who will have to get playing, hopefully at an equivalent level. Then there's a potential wild card with Andy Moran, if he starts breaking into Brighton's team regularly or goes on loan to a good level then he'll become an option. Playing L1 next season can't be an option for Knight (especially if he's stuck at RWB).

He’s always performed well for us but he’s never really been linked with many clubs. Some talk of Burnley last year but it was all from unreliable Irish media sources. Are we guilty of overrating him and his level is really League 1? 

His performance against France would tell anyone with any idea about football that he is much better than league 1 level .
