The question we all want to know is ... "Why Freddy?".

What happened to the day you bought a player for whatever figure, and sold him on to the highest bidder.

The Nigerian striker signed for the Magpies just last summer for £10million, but new boss Sam Allardyce was shocked to discover a similar clause in Martins' contract to that of strike partner Michael Owen, according to The Evening Chronicle.
