Really don't get this.

Potter thinks we have plenty of competition in the wide areas. Maybe he should look at the stats of those wingers. Depressing

Love him. Sad to see him go.

Let’s hope Trossard can be half a fans favourite as Knocky was.

If he’s going anyway, why the loan period? Is it something to do with paying his contract off or for Fulham to make sure he’s what they’re after/not as mad as a box of frogs/will come back to us if we’re relegated/something else?

It’s so we can pull out and get him back for our promotion push.

GP said it’s a good move for AK and the club, so clearly he was happy for Knocky to go. We must trust in the club!

Are we really in a position where that is important
Well we must have a budgeted total wage level. Barber has been moaning about the cost of signings - perhaps he meant wages, not fees.

Don’t worry. With the windfall of this transfer (great decision by the way) you’ll have several flair names to replace it with soon, according to those on here.

I’m not as confident, unless your kid will be just as chuffed with Hayden on his back.

Funny thing is, his big brother loves Lewis Dunk... guess what he got on the back of his new shirt :ffsparr:

We’ll be easy to spot in the North Stand... Fulham and Leicester players on our new shirts... lessons learned for next season :wrong:

Fulham FFP limits ?

Or do we want the option of Knocky back if we go down ?

No one plays or stays forever . . . . AK has been hit n miss 50/50 this last 2 seasons, I'd rather lose him from the squad than Dunk Gross or Propper. . . Or Solly March for that matter. It also creates space which clearly states other investments must step up to the plate . . . I'm hoping they do.

Thanks for being an integral part of the team that got us to cash cow land, and a few memorable moment before and since, notably a goal against Palarse last season. Bon chance pour le futur

The extra striker or the extra money? Tony Bloom has already said publicly that the necessary funds are there for any incoming player. It's more a matter of whether he considers the price to be value for money as to whether he and the club agree to pay it.

Yes indeed, players come and players go, that's the nature of football.

New managers must have a say in the type of player they want. Inevitable that there'll be some existing players out the door when a new manager comes in. Looks like a good move for all concerned to me.

Thanks for the memories Knocky and good luck at Fulham.

You would rather keep March ??? As a winger he’s shite.
