#AFCWimbledon  are front runners to sign Kyle Knoyle. Strong right back Knoyle was released by #WHUFC at the end of the season #TransferTalk

Considering that was posted 2 days ago, and he actually played for us today, AND Flitcroft said today that he's close to signing, I wouldn't put the wombles down as being 'front runners'.

Kyle Knoyle - hope his middle name isnt Kevin. Here's a few views from Dundee United fans

Setenza commented that:

He only really started getting a game towards the end of his loan period for us. Once he did, most people wondered why he didn’t start before.

We were a pretty dreadful team last season, playing mostly long ball football, but he did show plenty of willingness to get forward from full back and attack, and in my view was one of our better performers. Worked hard and usually tried the right thing in possession. Defensively, maybe a few more slip ups, but was playing in an awful defence.

Certainly wouldn’t have been unhappy if we’d signed him for another loan spell. Seemed to have the right attitude to be a decent player in time.

Micky added that:

Can’t add anything more than what Set said, seems a good attacking option from full back..

Naebody responded:

For a couple of games, he looked the best player in the worst United team for 50 years. Everything Set says is fair. But it’s impossible to know whether the awful quality of players around him were making him look better or worse.

We also got feedback from the Dundee United Mad forum:

TerryTheTerror commented:

Signed on loan in January then never given a chance in the team. Once he did get that chance he was a fixture and ended up probably being our best and most consistent performer. Fast, athletic, hard in the tackle, and good with the ball. Everything a full back should be.

Weedude83 supported Terry’s comments:

Once our idiotic manager decided to play him, was regularly our best player.

Quick, strong and likes to get forward and help the attack.

Defensively, strong in the tackle, very tenacious and won his share of headers – sometimes caught out of position but that’s to be expected at his age/experience.

Genuinely wish we had him for next season.

So has this guy signed or not?  Gone remarkably quiet on that front it would seem!

[Tails]

Was thinking that... Seeing as he was apparently close to joining on Friday, seems a bit odd he hasn't joined yet.

[reeves4england]

Now confirmed! Much better than a lot of the cheesy anouncements going around lately too

Guess that is us done for Carlisle then!

Toney having a medical at wigan, so might push woolery deal on

[aroundthefur]

Unless we are about to outbid FGR, we are going to miss out on Woolery.

[Quagmire]

The club have already tweeted about 'someone' coming home, so may already be done.

This summer's Keshi Anderson.

Other than internet rumours is there any evidence we were seriously after him?

Of course not but won't have to wait for the comments of "being outbid by FGR, Power has ruined this club" comemnts 

[theakston2k]

Rumour has it Wigan paid more than £200k for Woolery and FGR have bid more than Wigan paid. I'd say there are better ways to spend £200k+ so not fussed on this.

FWIW worth the Adver had a bit about him. Flitcroft said he liked the player. That we can't compete financially with FGR atm is how it is. We need to do it in other ways.
