He was playing as a second striker a fair bit of that season for Bristol City I think
Meant second striker not false 9, edited but you’d replied within seconds lol. Well he scored 22 goals and bagged another 10 assists playing up top in various positions not sure what else he can be judged on?
He scored 3 goals last season and 6 the season before, he's also 33. I'd judge him on that.
I think there is a view by some that after just short of 4 windows we would someone in place.. even if it is a risk. As someone said, he doesn’t have to be prolific goal scorer.. just lead the line.. we have enough quality to play off a central striker
This ‘4 windows’ thing baffles me mind.
Was it 4 windows ago we sold Stewart? Nope.
It’s people laying on to try and make a big deal of it. Don’t get me wrong it’s messy we haven’t sorted but let’s not double timelines to have a pop.
But the conversation was around finding someone who’s “championship proven” and a 20 goal striker.. there’s a 20 goal striker who’s not good enough. So what’s the criteria?

Very vague post but the first genuine link of Clarke to Leeds.

I asked what the criteria was, I didn't set the criteria, the statement was made by someone else. Re-read the thread.
Just been on bird spotters UK chat forum and someone had spotted a rare Hawfinch but even that rare sighting was tinged with sadness as we havnt yet signed a championship ready striker. Takes allsorts.
Well I hope they’ve got at least 25 million to spend. Probably more for a rival
I have no problem with clarke leaving if the fee is significant, big player for us but should then allow us to go up a gear in turn in the market.
You can argue that at this point in the window, it's not great timing.

That's the issue. Leaving with a couple of days in the window left would be a hammer blow.
There’s 2 weeks of window left, and we have Mundle and Poveda.
I don’t want Jacky to go very clear on that, but it wouldn’t destroy us if he did.

Surely they’ve been successive planning and that would include Clarke or other players leaving and signing better with the money recouped, whether he’s available and would come I’d go after Abdullah Sima from Brighton but not sure if he’s going back to Rangers!
I get annoyed when people speak on a subject and are accused of “ having a pop” simply isn’t the case..
the 4 windows ( I assume) is mentioned from when Stewart was injured to the time we sold him.. that would be around 4 windows without a recognized striker.
I don’t tend to spend my time having random digs at the club.. but this striker situation has dragged on way too long. As I said it could be the difference between a decent/good season and an average or poor one.. for me it’s that important
They obvious are aware of him and may well have an interest but it’s literally the most obvious link anyone could make up. If they have 25m plus sell on clause it will give us funds for 2-3 really good players even with only two weeks left, even with just a week. Money talks.
