Or looking at it another way, as the first friendly sold out, they have arranged another one so that fans who missed out on the other game can get a chance to watch them.

You do know attendance is not compulsory?
Supply and demand. Always the case in business. Hung should know this. He works 7 days a week.
 
Whoever sold him was a ****ing clown. Yet whoever it was is still at the club.

Howe couldn’t find a place for him either.
He was never going to get a regular place in front of our midfield three. Massive potential, but you wouldn’t put him in atm.
Sacrificial lamb to keep our spine.
Bloody shame though.
 
Would you rather we had kept him, taken a a PFP points hit and so not be in the CL next season?

Id rather we sold Almiron, Targett, Wilson or any other number of non contributing players to make up the numbers. We’re now in need of a decent midfielder as the drop off is so heavy.

Somebody somewhere at the club hasn’t done a good job. It’s not Howe, and nobody of that time has been let go. I think the fans deserve an explanation.

You are assuming there were willing buyers for those players, at that time, at a price that worked for our FFP needs.

That’s a bit of an exaggeration. A decent Premier League player but world class is pushing it. A desperation sale so probably a bit less than we could have got for him but a necessity to comply with PSR.
He played very well last night against the tournament favourites. We technically got 35m for him. But deducting the 20m we apparently paid for the GK and it is 15m.
