I was thinking this earlier, Barber whinging about fees but letting an asset go for relative buttons, what’s that all about?

This is the biggest fee we have ever got for a player. Ever.
One that some were saying should never play for the club again after that sending off.
**** me, let's pull our knickers up and jog on, eh?
How many players have we sold that are fit to lace AK’s boots?
Stats from the last PL season:
Knockaert: 2 goals and 6 assists from 1800 minutes played
March: 1 goal and 6 assist from 2400 minutes played
All J: ****all from 1000 minutes
Locadia: 2 goals from 1200 minutes
Izquirdo: 2 goals from 800 minutes
However you slice it, AK WAS our most creative outlet from our wingers last season. Loosing him is detrimental to the squad until a superior replacement has been found.
And I agree that Knockaert plays better in the Championship. I’m sure our other wingers would!

It's very, very, very weird.
We don't need to sell. We know they have money. We know the value of a player capable of getting a team up from the Championship. We know how good AK is at that level.
Also, I recall Knocky sprinting half way across the pitch with the ball only to lose it, tackled from beside, by the oppo who had outsprinted him. Meanwhile Ali J can do amazing things with the ball so quickly and deftly most people miss it. And, he can be coached.
All about opinions, innit?
No, it is about facts. AK has gone, and that was the decision of the club I love and trust. Fact

Christ. That's like saying that the wormy biscuit with one hole wins over the soggy biscuits with mould.

Hardly like we're desperate for income from selling players these days either, not like Virgo/Beeney times

Don't wait for me!
He suffered with depression in our first season and never really recovered enough to be a starter. There’s a reason why we’ve spent nearly 40m on the wings to join Solly.
It’s time he started a new challenge.

Because you 'love and trust' them, they're incapable of making bad decisions?

When have we - as Brighton fans - ever been satisfied, let alone delighted, with the fees we've got for our departing players? Virgo to Celtic probably the only one where we hugged ourselves with glee. Ulloa to Leicester was OK, and Liverpool played fair with fees for Lawro and Robinson, but apart from that ...................?
Perhaps we just can't stop ourselves believing they're worth more than they are.

I’m not saying I want AK gone.
I’d rather he stayed, because as things stand our squad is weaker without him.
But if he is underpriced at £10m how come no one else has come in for him ?

As said the defence of AK all read like a plea to send him to the Championship.
How kind. No, only just started on the sauce....Basically this is done and dusted so we have to move on. I am not going to join in with any Barber/Bloom out chorus.
I suspect there will be loads of stuff going on vis a vis AK we know nothing about, too.
I will make a prediction: AK will be mediocre for Fulham next season. But I hope he will thrive.
All the best

If thats true its a ****in joke, £15 mil was giving him away imho, Barber or whoever negotiated that needs to give their head a serious wobble IF TRUE!
Bugger me, this transfer window continues to confuse and exasperate. Don’t fix the gaps most people accept we have. No.
Sign another centre-half. And get shot of Knocky......exasperating, annoying etc but also a player who can change a game. And we have precious few of those.
