That's all true, but losing a proven talent to give opportunity for people to step up isn't quite what I'm hoping for.

I'm not saying we can replace Clarke like for like, but I'd hope Isodor and Mundle are fighting for the left wing role with another striker to come in to challenge Simic/Mayenda.
I personally can't see Isidor playing LW here when he comes in. He is labelled and labels himself as a striker, had his best goalscoring season upfront and the people who are mentioning his best recent season (22/23), he also had one more goal contribution in his games upfront than he did on the wing in that season. That was 11 games CF and 13 games on the wing.

He also has been played upfront since. 6ft 1 too so I think he fits that mobile pressing forward type we are after
 
I don't think so. I've seen nothing concrete at all about him. Udinese were interested at £5m. That doesn't put us into the next bracket of player like Simic in my opinion.
Simic is in his last year and rejected a new contract, wouldn't be shocked if it was a few million upfront with add ons and a hefty sell on
 
I'd be very surprised to see all of Mendy,Simic and Isadore joining us. I would think the Mendy deal has gone south as we've run out of patience with it. The other two look positive. I further don't believe that Jack will have to leave to finance these deals. I'm expecting Jack to stay,these two to sign, 3 or 4 departures,Dewi,Hemir,Pembele,Anderson and we'll be good to go.

That would be the perfect scenario.
 
I think Mundle and Rusyn are Clarke's replacement and replacement understudy
Not sure re Rusyn, but Mundle will be the next cab off the rank and whilst he may need some time to learn on the job, we have sufficient squad depth (Poveda, Ba, potentially Isidor) that he can be rotated in and out the team.
It's a massive bonus we have Alese and Cirkin fit (for now) to add greater balance to the left hand side and provide real support to Mundle (or whoever) so if he leaves, the Clarke hole won't be as massive as it would have been this time, last season.

If all 3 arrive Isidore is clearly left side of front three and Clarke is leaving imo.
 
I'd love to think that we plan to really push for promotion this season and buy Simic and Isidor, along side keeping Clark. If we do this, IMO we may well get promoted but if not we'll go very close. If we fail than Clark can go with our blessing along with a big chuck of cash next season.
