Don’t think anyone will bid anywhere close to what we want for Clarke so I can’t see him leaving. Don’t think he is as in demand as he was before he got injured
I think the lad enjoys being here but if someone offers to double or treble your wages its a difficult one to refuse. I truly hope you are correct though.
If £ 30m is what they want and there is no wiggle room on that and they really stick to it then the club is 100% transformed when it comes to playing hardball in the transfer market! Not sure anyone will pay more than £20m for him.
The current climate players are going for astronomical prices. Although 30m would be a great profit for us, spurs will get a hefty portion
No news atm, Just because there isn’t news does mean nothing is being done think we may see a few go this week
Literally just watched him last week Has the physicality youd want for a championship striker, link up n hold up play was poor - hes very very raw Works his socks off n will stretch the game for his team
25% sell on so we have to be savvy and build that into our asking price. £25m still leaves us with £18.75m to spend
I see Mo Bamba from lorient is being wanted by CD Leganes on loan. I think he would be perfect here. Seems very quick, direct and presses well also scored a good amount for them and le bris will know him
Re the Clarke speculation - if clubs don’t pay our asking price, they will be swiftly told to **** off. Harte & Clarke will be aware of this, which is why Clarke is focusing on doing his job for us this season.
Was talking to a lad at Leeds the other day. Harte was a Leeds legend until he started gobbing off online about Clarke leaving them and it’s been noted by them that he’s doing it with us. It isn’t his social media team it’s him. Not unexpected in some ways just I’ve heard it said on here it’s not down to him. It is.
