Summer window

Anderson left on loan to Shrews

 

Losing Clarke would be bad enough but Ballard and Stewart are both quality that will be hard to replace quickly.

We have to try and keep at least 2 out of 3

 

We lose 2 or more of those there isn’t a promotion challenge.

 

If we lose Ballard, Clarke and Stewart and no Amad then I must admit even with my most optimistic head on I will start to worry

 

In fact I feel quite glum at the thought of it

 

The wages all three would get at different clubs would be significantly higher..we have a structure in place i dont think we will break.

Also, seen on Transfer Fees..

 

Sure Prehab just said at the weekend he would be amazed if Clarke and Roberts new contracts weren't announced soon?

 

I believe Roberts will sign a new contract, Clarke will wait hes in no rush.

 

Clarke won't be leaving unless his valuation is met which, no club have been close to hitting. Clarke is happy here and the club have been constantly reviewing the situation and are keen for him to sign fresh terms to show how much they appreciate him.

Of course if a massive bid comes out of the blue, it all changes but at the moment , no club is close.

 

Clarke is the one I would worry about personally. Stewart will be replaced, if not already by Hemir. I am already resigned to not seeing him in our colours again.

Ballard I like a lot, but he might have already been replaced by Seelt. Then we have ONien and the Aussie lad. Hume if Huggins is fit. If West Ham throw £10m at it jobs a good un for me.

Clarke will be a massive loss. Played the most games of outfield players last season. Form never dipped. Impacts on games massive. Massive to how we play. Ba may slot in but isnt as dynamic so would require a change to how we play. Would need to find an alternative for me, and finding another Clarke will be tough. Needs a big fee, but I am wondering now that the Burnley link has gone on so long whether or not his camp might be fancying the move.

Really hope we don't lose all 3 players, especially Clarke and Ballard. If we are serious about promotion then surely we need to hold on to them for another season.

 

As long as we don’t sell him on the cheap
Then pay over the odds for others

 

At this moment in time, they are both very likely to stay.

We have to accept that there will be interest in these plays. Sign that the model is working!!!

If significant offers are made, then equally they will be considered as reinvested. Would have to meet the loft valuations set by the club though.

 

We need to keep hold of the back 4 and the wingers. Unfortunately, they are the players most sought after.

 

I am confident that the set up we have now will not let this happen. It's all data and numbers based so they will know the value across the current market.

 

100% this, its a positive sign that clubs want our players - also doesnt mean our players will leave

Im relaxed about it at this stage, lets just see what happens

 

Nee way is J C leaving safc for 10m. Fact. So I take the rest of that team talk story as B.S

 

Yeah me too.
