That wasn't my question.
What was your question? It's a parody account but everything in that tweet is true. How can 'free-scoring' Brighton offload one of our best attackers with more assists than Zaha, Dele Ali, etc. It's ridiculous.
You're the one being dumb.

You would rather keep MarchAs a winger he’s shite.
You must be the fella who sits about 5 rows behind me in the North stand.
Constantly spouting shite about March.
Absolute blinkered nonsense every time he's on the ball.
I take it you will be surprised if March starts a game under Potter, because we will have better options for Potterball?

Wouldn’t surprise me if we go for wing backs for large parts of the season. Bernardo on the left, then either Montoya or March on the right. In fact I believe March has the attributes and discipline to make a fantastic wingback. Were this the case, we wouldn’t need as many wingers. Both AJ and Trossard look more suited to playing through the middle in a more fluid ACM role than AK.

One of the many glorious memories was 1 hour before the playoff semi 2nd leg.
We knew it was going to be a tough ask. 2 down and the first team decimated with injuries.
Knocky clearly wouldn't play as he was carried off the pitch a few days earlier.
Then the team news came out.
Knocky starts!! How the ****! What a lift for us, what a shock for massive!
The whole ground roared out we've got Knockaert for what seemed like ages.
That started building the best atmosphere ever at the Amex.
And he was immense in that first half.
Wednesday, il prepared and scared to death by him.
God knows how many injections he had, just to make it onto the pitch that day.
And if that free kick had gone in, we might have made it through.
Saw a photo of his ankle after the game... it was a horrible mess of evil looking bruises..
Hero.

It's possible that after yet another winger gets signed, with other more obvious gaps around the squad, that Knocky thought "fair enough, you clearly don't rate me, I've done evererything I can. Time to move on"
in many ways I hope that was the scenario and the club have not stood in his way.
He deserves to leave on his terms IMO.

And why wouldn't they be announced at the same time? Are we relying on some sort of gentleman's agreement from Fulham to carry out a deal they say they'll carry out?

So his value is now nothing? From Championship player of the year whom Newcastle allegedly were willing to pay 18 million for three years ago, to a player that we have to send out on loan with an option to buy at the end of the season. Maybe the undisclosed fee is massive if Fulham get promoted
Or maybe they don't take up the option to buy if they go up, as he's done the job they brought him in for.

Solly March had the same assists as AK last season.

More than a bit gutted reading the news about this, this morning. Really thought AK would be one to benefit from the more attacking style we are supposed to be playing.

You know we're in trouble when people start rounding up the time left in the window, rather than rounding down.

1) Why would Potter do this? Knocky is, (was) at the very least our 2nd best wide man. Almost certainly our best. At the very least, you'd want him to come off the bench if we're 1-0 down with 20 mins left
2) The thought that we might be still be paying some of his wages had occurred to me as well. If we're paying a penny, it surely ranks as the worst deal in our history
3) Well, lets get those "other irons" in first, then think about who we can let go. That's what all the other clubs do
4) Well we can tell them, A) have you seen the competition in our squad? You'll probably get it. B) You signed a 4 year deal
5) Managed decline. What a great strategy. What about another strategy, whereby we try to stay up be keeping hold of our best players

And I wouldn’t argue with you for a minute, that we’ve certainly strengthened the women’s team, the u23s and the u18s

I really hope there's something in that. Massive leap of faith to believe that's the case though.
This latest development has me absolutely flabergasted
