He’s probably backing himself to do well in the Prem with Ipswich and then get a bigger move next season if they come back down. I’m gutted he’s going but we couldn’t hold onto him forever and the price is decent, particularly with the sell on fee.
make saturday's game even harder least we got to see his last game at home good luck Jack and a big **** off you twat Ian Harte now KLD and KS spend the money to get us the 2 strikers
Understand the move but gutted that he's leaving - not gonna be looking forward to breaking the news to the grandson as Clarke is his favourite player
Hopefully we spread the cost across the squad. Should help get simic across the line and other good additions to bring the overall squad standard up
Couldn’t believe some thought he’d stay. Was always away this summer. Best of luck to the lad - absolutely superb for SAFC.
I've never thought he was a top six player, probably borderline top half ... ... he has no pedigree in the PL so they're taking a chance. I hope he does well, I was at Reading which I'll never forget ... what a goal Jack Clarke.
Reading the tweet again - is it 20 million including add ons? Or 20 million plus add ons. As 20 million with add ons, isn’t going to give us that much really once spurs get their cut.
I think we will. Already started by the looks of it. I hope there's not a massive backlash from the nay-sayers, we needed a big sale and Jack's ready for the prem. I also hope people understand we won't be buying a player for 20mill. We'll probably buy 3 for 5mill and reinvest the rest in the club.
That’s not enough for me, huge pressure now on them to reinvest well. said this before but this lot seem to invite pressure and make it hard for themselves when they don’t need to. oh well let’s see what they have in store for us next, fingers crossed they get it right
You can only sell what people are willing to buy. If £15m+ add-ons lets us sign Simic and Wilson on the basis that Clarke was never going to sign a new deal then so be it.
I also think they’ve sold under their valuation to get the sale done quick so they have time to spend before deadline day
