Summer window

Looks like a few others can type quicker than me

 

Me neither. But guess that's what we have signed up for with the model. I did wonder why the contract didn't get sorted when it did. Maybe they are just going to wait until the window closes and see if he is still here !

 

Can’t see Burnley reaching that, expect we’d want £15 guaranteed and other add one due to what we own spurs as a sell on.

 

Model doesnt mean we need to role over if we think hes worth more....get its about not putting players off signing long deals here if they think we will trap them

 

They have set his worth at 15m. Any club who wants Clarke will have the get in and around that figure. Will obviously depend on the make up, up front dosh etc

 

Might end up going for Aravena if Clarke goes

 

He's been ring on loads of stuff, hopefully he is again

 

I wonder if there is a sell on clause to take into account? You would expect there to be maybe 20% due to spurs IF we sold Clarke.

IF we sold him I'd like to see at least a clear £15 million plus after the sell on clause is paid.

 

Then nowts really changed. That’s a dismal price. He’s worth 20+ easy.

 

Opinions ain't it mate. I think he is worth closer to 20 too

 

Thing is if its 20% then we get 12 million I'm sure our initial outlay was around 3 million which gives us a 9 million profit, don't get me wrong I think he's worth more and certainly dont want to lose him but the club may look at it as we've had him for 12 months on a permanent deal now if we cash in we have enough to bring in 3 Jack Clarkes

 

Personally think clarke needs another year at this level...not just saying so he remains here...just feel his development will take massive knock going to a lower end PL team

 

As you say I think it all depends on the structure of the sale, if its 15 up front with a sell on clause that may be a better deal than 20 in instalments

 

Possibly mate, mind you I'd rather we kept him for at least this season.

Going to be an interesting few weeks with incoming and possible outgoings

 

It won't be a 9 million profit, as I think spurs have a big sell on clause, although I could be wrong

 

You need to factor in the rise in cost for standard players over the last 12 months as wellas the sell on clause. Seems like bang average players are going for over £3m these days.

This is why we will be asking for a large amount probably closer to £20m. And that’s exactly the right thing to do.

Replacing someone of Clarke’s calibre would likely cost way more than £3m

 

That’s really low if true

 

Exactly. £15m is nowt in todays market for a very consistent and still improving player

 

It is but if that is the asking price they must be desperate for coin to come in. Unless we have a player ready to bring in.

 

I don't think the club are desperate for the cash but everyone will have a value we would consider selling. That money will get reinvested into the club
