I think when I heard about a possible expectation that it was this window, the club have prepared for it. With Mundle getting more minutes and exposure and going into the market for a left forward. I don't think anyone will be surprised when it happens. I am interested in how the players sees all of this though. He definitely would rather be north and Ipswich.....
No complaints here if we get top whack for him. Getting £35m ish for him and Ross Stewart is superb business, providing we invest well afterwards.
yeh I think the Premier League is too big an opportunity for him tho. Personally I don’t think Ipswich would be bidding at all unless Harte has indicated Clarke wants the move and we’ve indicated that we’re willing to sell at right price. (as we should be btw, with just 2 years left on deal)
I'm sure the players all signed under the impression if they do well and a pl club comes in, they are allowed to go, it won't be a shock
Of course not. There was just an expectation that the fees would be close or to the point that the club would sell.
The players will think he’s going to play premier league football and we can’t compete. There’ll be no kick offs there
Zenit lad more of a broadhead type? Can cover out wide and upfront? Watched a few highlights of him but genuinely didn’t know he existed 2 days ago so can’t pretend to be an expert on him
Sunderland have a price in mind, Clarke is aware of that total (whatever that may be), if the price is met, we won't stand in his way, if it isn't, he'll not be throwing his toys out the pram. Mr Harte is working overtime as you would imagine. Also, if the price isn't met, a new contract will more than likely be signed.
I don’t think Ipswich bid unless they know he’s up for signing. when was the last time anybody heard of a bid being accepted but the deal falling thru as the player didn’t want to move? Especially up a division to premier
Same as you except I'd never heard of him until this week. Looks like he has good instincts and a decent finish, the defending leaves a lot to be desired but there's plenty of that in the Championship as well, if he can take advantage of mistakes that's exactly what we need.
Typo haha I meant 2 days, I try to not get carried away by highlights, jozy looks class on his alkmaar ones
Apologies mate. I don’t think Clarke will go Ipswich personally I really don’t. I do see him leaving though. I think player will stay if harte keeps out his ear
