Absolutely not misleading anyone. I was told he wouldn't sign a new deal and wouldn't be here past this window. He didn't sign a new deal and isn't here past the window. That's the literal reality. There was all sorts of info floating that he may sign a new deal but I was told it wouldn't happen and he would move on. He has. And to be clear. Harte works for Clarke. Not the other way round. If any deal was signed, it could have been a while ago. It wasn't. Anyway. Both said or bits. Let's hope we invest the money wisely.
I get people feeling we should have got more, I'm one of them, however wanting £30m is just unrealistic. We were never going to get that
As long as the club is 'sustainable' that'll do me. The only penalties I ever want to hear about are when Mayenda's brought down ... not anything to do with financial irregularities, sanctions and transfer embargos. 'Sustainability' has become a dirty word for some people despite unsustainability being the only alternative. It's madness after a period when we were staring down a £200m debt and administration.
Also another thing. I don’t think the club will see Mundle as the replacement, we won’t put that pressure on him. There was a reason we were speaking to Liam Millar before he went to Hull. I expect to see a move for a winger
I thought realistically that we should have had £20m plus addons, but it looks like we’re getting around £20m in total. As others have pointed out, at least we can strengthen now as opposed to panic buying just before the window closes. So it could have been better, but also could have been far worse. If we end up with the strikers mentioned, then it’s a good window as far as I’m concerned. As good as JC was, we’re not as dependent on him as we were and we can replace him.
Really hoping there is an exciting player signed before the game tomorrow. Our crowd when it gets toxic helps no one but its own misery.
I disagree we payed a decent fee for him and he is getting better. He’ll get first choice and we’ll sign someone to be around him. Unless someone drastic appears on the market. I could see a LW loan
100% agree with this mate, its done we always knew that was the model, thanks for the memories Jack, been a model professional, lets reinvest and develop more players and sell them on, cant believe what people are in a flat spin over.
As I've said, I looked back to try to find who said that to you and can't find anything. I think I've been polite but you're making quite an accusation about people on this board so it would be good for you to say. You haven't been on here for well over a year, arrive with a rant today and are clearly here for an argument. Some cynics might think you've popped over from another forum just to stir things up on here ... ... if that's true it makes you a very shallow and needy person. In which case that's a shame for you.
Just caught up on Clarke leaving. While it's disappointing to see him go, I'm very excited to see how we replace him and by that I don't just mean him but strengthen the squad as a whole. Which I personally think will make us a better team overall.
Refusing to let ambitious young players leave won't attract ambitious young players ... ... this club is being brilliantly run compared to many others.
When we sign an unproven, young lad to replace Jacky and there’s hell on…. .. let’s remind these muppets that Clarke was indeed an unproven, in fact failed, young lad when he signed. He was also largely average for his first season.
