During the most active summer of business conducted by Newcastle United, the Toon Army were linked to perhaps every Championship player worth his salt as they plotted a return to the Premier League.
One of the major names linked with a move for Brighton and Hove Albion winger Anthony Knockaert, a man who tore up the second tier last season while on the south coast.
There’s little doubt the 24-year-old would have represented a wonderful signing at this level, as well as an option ready to play in the Premier League should the Magpies reach the proverbial Promised Land.
Still, chasing promotion themselves, the Seagulls stood firm over the former Leicester City midfielder and kept him at the Amex to aid their own cause.
As a result, users on Twitter have been rather vocal in comparing Knockaert to summer signing Matt Ritchie, who himself is looking a cut above the rest at this level.
So, it’s time for the most important we can think of in current affairs.
Ritchie or Knockaert?
