A lot of papers suggesting we have a clause which will recoup 50% of any future sale. Absolutely mad if we have got that in there.

For a fee of only 5m I think in todays market, it's completely fine. Not that mad.

Good luck to him. There is talent there for sure. Hope he knuckles down and succeeds in Turkey, not least so we can see some of that sweet sell-on cash!

Great deal for both sides. Imagined it would be a yearly ordeal to get him a loan until his contract ran out.

All the best GKN. Ironically, he looked really good in pre-season and hoped this may be the year where he finally broke though. Alas, it was too little too late.

Thanks for the assist Vs Fulham. We could be looking at no CL this season without that.

Always feel kinda sad and like we have let him down. As though we have treated him quite harshly with the long persure of signing him, keeping him in hotel, if rumours are true, and totally freezing him out without much opportunities.

Of course what really happened I don't know.

A great personality nonetheless. Guess we as a club outgrow him too quickly. Really wish him all the best.

Happy that he is off the books.

Thanks to the transfer committee that started this waste of money.

Good luck to him.

I can’t believe we sold GKN and Janssen for actual money. That’s a miracle.
What a stupid comment. GKN was not a bad player and neither was Janssen. They just did not suit our style. I’m the right team they will produce to a certain level which will suit their value. In this market I think they were sold below UK market value.

From what I've read mostly from Poch himself, Nkoudou let himself down, time and time again in his mentality towards training and match preparation. He only has himself to blame. He also had 2 loans and neither worked out which shows it wasn't just a club issue. I find it hard to have any remorse because he didn't take his opportunity seriously and that is summed up by him deciding to wear a chelsea kit. Son the other day in an interview on a BBC Podcast refused to be given the mic with red on it. Now that level of commitment isn't necessary but it shows the difference in approach from the two.

Feel like there's a player there still, don't think he ever got his proper chance. Guess it was expected, but still kind of sad to see him go.

Good luck GKN. As with Janssen, I’m pleased to see him go as it frees up wages and squad space. Shame it didn’t work out for him though.
