    We saying we should think the same with Clarke? We haven't been offered big money for him yet like! 10 million is a joke.

    There is a bit of Evans about Bogarde. Very comfortable on the ball and reads the game well. The lad has more about him going forward though.

    No I am not. 10m is not sufficient.

    £7m and £10m bids for Jack Clarke stinks to me of trying to unsettle him. No club in their right mind would accept that.

    I just don’t think Jacky would fancy Burnley anyway.

    He will want a proper crack at a big club again if and when he moves.

    Burnley or Brentford I just don’t see him thinking ‘ooooh I fancy that’ when he is settled, thriving and adored here.

    Clarke going for £15 million will be more like £12 million once spurs have had their sell on percentage. Assuming that's 20%.

    Yes it probably covers most of the expenditure, but what's the cost to replace his assists and goals.

    The model is great if we sell someone and either have their replacement all ready here or the sale funds better players in a couple of positions, it doesn't really work if we sell Clarke and then still need to spend £5 million on his replacement

    Improved 10m bid sounds like an attempt to look ambitious whilst knowing the deal won’t happen. Like us offering 2.5m for Hamer or similar.

    I wish burnley and anyone else would just p**** off with any bids and leave a settled player (Clarke) alone.:emoticon-0120-doh:
    I’ve said it before but i really want us to keep him.

    I really don’t want to go back to a time when nobody wants our players. So bid away Burnley :D

    It's usually % of profit rather than transfer fee received.

    Even so, its still a lump to come off a low fee for where the lad is currently at

    I agree. I dont think we should be considering anything unless its around the 20m mark.

    I think the fact Leyton Orient are linked with our #2Keeper Bass says it all really and proves what ive thought all along. We need a better number 2 because for all we know Patterson could have a season like Stewart did last year.

    A good Keeper can save you around 20 points a season and bad Keeper can cost you 20 points a season

    Put a piss take of a bid in for one of their players and see how they like it.

    Our Keepers were an absolute embarrassment that season and we constantly rotated them because Coleman couldn't decide which one was the least shytest

    Very calm and assured and looks very poised wherever they give him the ball.
    In the absence of a Henderson (who would be ideal) he would be very decent option.
