Credit where its due, the club have not faffed about getting this done.
Made 2 bids in Jan apparently and then straight back for him in June.
Well done and hopefully he carries on progressing

You will have to post me confirmation that it’s confirmed because everywhere I’m looking I can’t see anything just as much as you don’t comprehend my posts

I am on KRBFC side on this one.
I understand the Collins transfer fee, he is a fantastic young defender. That is stokes youngest ever captain.
But I just don’t get breaking our transfer record on a 24 year old lad that has barely even played. I feel this will be another Ibe/ Solanke type signing. Your paying for the name rather than the ability.
Well I hope he signs and then in 12 months I can say told you so
Certainly have Phillips over a 36 yr Young any day.

That's inflation for you.

To be fair I hope you do.
I would have took Young, think he would have worked well in our system for relatively low cost.

Ok fair enough, but CT was the man in the know, you was purely guessing, let be happy that’s he’s signed instead of gloating some people were wrong & some people were right.

Jason O’Connor is saying Burnley are going to go in for Knight at Derby.
This is guy is usually spot on with Irish players. He said a couple of weeks back about Collins.

He is a Irish Republic player and a midfielder for Derby County. I also think he is captain. We were linked previously. Jason O’Connor has a good track record on Irish players.

Derby as a club are in an awful mess at the moment , as referenced elsewhere on the board, and you would imagine any decent offers for their players will be hard for them to refuse

Another 20yr old who's also captained his club like Collins did?
Could be interesting, 2 yrs left on his contract and it doesn't appear that he's on silly wages.
These 2 should bring our overall squad age right down and our statutory Irish numbers up again

This is encouraging.
Do we know who is choosing these targets?

The manager and transfer team or whatever its called now, at a guess.
Note how both Stoke and Derby are in financial difficulties though, so I can only assume our lot have been watching x amount of players and picking the right time to get them if we are going for Knight too.
We wanted Collins in Jan apparently, 2 bids turned down.

I watched him last year and wasn’t too impressed- just a lot of running from what I saw.
Not to say there’s not a player in there, just that I can’t see what he’d add to our team immediately. Hope if we are in for him that he won’t be using up significant transfer budget.

If you are referring to Knight,
We need some new energy, we've worked our older players very hard in the last two seasons.

Another centre mid who's going to end up out wide for us. What's stopping us signing proper wingers.

How do you know he will play on the wing and that we aren't trying to sign some wingers?
It is only 24th June admittedly, so we haven't got much time left.

I hope you're right. Just can't see us signing another centre midfielder this window. If we're signing him to play centre mid then it would be a real sign of intent tbh

This mentioned already. I’m more concerned about, “as cover for the injured Nick Pope”. I thought this was a very minor issue? Are we being kept in the dark again?

I'd suspect it's more a case of a journalist putting 2 and 2 together.
That's if there is even anything in it.

Well, if there is a problem (shoulder again?) the club would hardly publicise it.

He’s much younger than Westy, Cork and Stephens, so a sensible singing to gradually take over. Plus he can actually operate out wide and has a real engine on him

When we were previously linked to him, I kept my out for him when Derby played.
Around Christmas he went through a real purple patch where he looked destined for the premier league. His touch and passing really impressed me.
However the second half of the season seemed to really take its toll on him. I am also not sure Rooneys tactics helped him flourish, he was often shunted out to the right and he just looked out of place.

I must’ve watched him in the second half of the season then. Quite possibly a player in there and one we might need to sign before he does excel, but not someone who would displace our current three on what I saw. We need a few starters now, I think.

Shared where? There’s nothing on Twitter.
He seemed to have the inside track on Hendrick and Brady but only once it was actually on the verge of being done.

If we get the player I saw before Christmas I think he would go straight into the starting eleven.
I would agree if we get the player from the second half of the season. Think his confidence is rock bottom.
If he is in early for pre season who knows.

Certainly a possibility.
Not many other young creative forwards of Mcneils calibre
