Some of the Peterborough fans think us and Sunderland are chasing their 6ft 5 CB Ryan Tafazolli. As he'd cost more than 100k, it's safe to assume he'll be a Mackem soon.
I've always rated Will Vaulks, he did well in the Championship last season and he's been one of the best in League 1 this season. Jon Taylor has done alright there too. Failing that, the Chuckle Brothers would be up for it. The best player I've seen in League 1 is Jon Nolan at Shrewsbury. He used to be at Grimsby and was a bit crap. Now he's changed his game and he's much more dynamic.
If true then it's just showing his greed, 4k is a fair amount for a player with only one season as a first team player, if he's asking 8k then I'm glad we arnt giving in.... Only my opinion of course
I expect Clark thinks/knows he can get more elsewhere. I wouldn't blame any player wanting out of this mess.
Agreed, didn't Tymon signed for 7.5k last year to a then Prem team, and was a tournament winning England Youth International to boot. Clark has no chance of getting that. ****ing agents at work again no doubt.
Unfortunately its not in the slightest bit baffling. You have to look at everything from a point of view of asset stripping and minimising costs. Then its not so baffling.
The problem yet again is the Allams not offering new terms until the players final year. If we offered Clark a new deal last season before he really broke into the team he would have bitten our hand off at a new deal.
It isn't even the final year, it's the final weeks every time. I'd love some justification as to why we do that, but you just know it isn't going to happen. Especially given that we obviously wanted to keep Bowen so we offered a deal straight away.
Well **** me. £8k x 4 = £32k per month, that's £384k a year. Local lad .... home grown .... academy ..... income tax .... short career and all that bollocks. He's a young lad playing for a ****e Championship team. Even at £4k per week that is an eye watering amount of money. ****ing hell, the game has gone mad.
I agree with this to some degree. If Forest or another club offer him more or the same he'd take it...who wouldn't.
I don't get letting Clark go. We are letting a decent full back go who is settled in the squad and needs replacing. Even if it's a freebie it's a gamble and signing on fees, agents fees etc... I think you would be surprised. Seen three League One youngsters (under 23) on 4k a week with less than 20 appearances between them this season. One is at a very small club too. Also their contracts with New Balance are ridiculous. 10k a year sponsorship deal for a league one bench warmer!
What has it come to that we can't even get Max ****ing Clark to stay? I can't believe we're even having a debate about this.
