    Absolutely! Any big sales are an opportunity for the team and the club to progress further. We should trust the recruitment team, they've earnt it.

    Clarke is better than Roberts for me mind.

    Roberts is technically brilliant and his link up play with Diallo was great to watch but Clarke is a better all rounder.

    Roberts by far the most skilled out of the two and likely to make a defender look stupid as he beats him with skill and quick footwork. But for me at the minute Clarke is more likely to beat players at speed running into the box to score. Clarke is more of a threat imo and shades it as what he does contributes more to scoring.

    They both bring different aspects to their play,which is maybe why they're so effective for us.

    Very little between the 2 and it’s nice to see debate who is best instead of who is least **** ain’t it <laugh>

    I think Roberts technical ability is off the scale and actually his end product didn’t get what it deserved as he more than Jacky was giving the ball to Amad, this season he will be making the final decision a lot more. Showed at Reading what he’s made of we will see more of this.

    Love them both, can see strong arguments for both.

    You are not alone in that feeling. I too think he will be away but can,t put my finger on it other than how quiet I thought he was in our last game. It would be a shame but if he is to go we need a few teams to be bidding for him and get as much as we can. On the other hand we need to get it done soon so we can invest the proceeds from the sale.

    Clarkes final product is way more productive. That has to be Roberts target for improvement.

    Clarke is much more direct and drives forward. His goals tally says it all

    Agree with you, 9 goals and 12 assists last season made Clarke one of our top performers. I think he sometimes appears frustrating (to me) during a game because he shows for the ball more than most and never hides.

    Was mad rated a couple years back wasn't he.

    Ties in with the young French theme. RB though do we need one?

    A product of the Parisian club where he has played since 2016, Colin Dagba (24) tried to get some playing time with Strasbourg last season. However, the right-hander failed to make the grade, making just 21 appearances for the Alsatian club without proving sufficiently convincing. After failing to keep his contract, he returned to Paris Saint-Germain, where his future is uncertain.

    With two years to go before the end of his contract, he could bounce back in England. According to our information, discussions are currently underway with Championship side Sunderland. The aim would be to conclude a definitive sale of the native of Béthune and it is in this sense that the various parties are currently working.

    We certainly don’t need another right back, but it would suggest someone is away if it’s true.

    Gooch most likely.

    The club may have plans to mold someone like Hume into a different role and position? The kid seems pretty versatile.

    If he has been flagged as someone who could be a key player for us then I don’t see why we wouldn’t go for him.

    The data analysis we do now seems to be incredibly thorough, although I agree it’s definitely not a position we are short in.
