Haha I mean the fact we’re debating whether we should have took £15m rising to £20m for one of our players shows we’re on the right track as a club. Our whole squad was probably worth less than £5m when KLD came in.
Wilson Isidor’s obligation to buy is €4m also reading Roker report’s new article on him, the Zenit fan says he was at his best on the wing but says at the end that he would suit being a striker is a faster paced league like ours. Makes me think we will still play him CF here
Mundle was and is the replacement for Clarke we need more than him out wide in my opinion but wouldnt expect lots of players in
Very busy week ahead i think .. until we see all the in and outs and the new lads playing i cant see how you can form an opinion either way..
It’s shockingly poor however anyone wants to dress it up. in theory we don’t need to sell. The owners are desperate for cash to sign the strikers.
Wonder if his Rating increases on EA FC25 after his move. He was a 75 for us last season with a potential of 83.
Watson will be his understudy and long-term replacement. JC's replacement doesn't need to be a LW. Goalscoring strikers will replace his goals.
Its not shockingly poor when we dont know the amount thats being paid, how much is in installments, how much is incentives and how much sell on % we get We now have a good amount (however much that is) to improve the team n squad As @SourPatch2 said the other day you cant replace clarke with 1 player but you can improve the squad n make us stronger as a whole Im really excited to see what mundle does
Not a bad option to have, might be making assumptions but think he’ll play a similar role to broadhead did
That's unfair Bob, he's a good poster who talks about football and generally just gives his opinion. He makes a good contribution to this forum.
It’s all relative I suppose. I hoped for more but equally Gyrokere went for reported 20 million euros.About 16.5 million pounds and that was regarded as a good fee. A few players go for more than they are worth because of specific circumstances and some are bargains, Clarke was an absolute bargain for us and is now a good buy for Ipswich on the face of it. That’s football.
You will have seen the X link on here I’m sure, but if you haven’t…..SAFC bought Clarke for £500000 and sold him for £20000000. Assuming both figures are accurate, in what world does that make the sale of a player for forty times the initial value “shockingly poor”?
This is the answer to what Jack Clarke is worth, end of story ... please log in to view this image ... to some people it's worthless, to the buyer it was worth £100million. No one is wrong, it's what the market dictates.
A decent sell on could be a smart move. If they go down and he does well he could be worth a hefty fee with a proven premier league reputation and even if he went for the same again it makes up the gap in what I think he’s worth if we have 25% sell on. I always say though when a player leaves it’s what comes in that counts. Big week.
