hopefully better at scoring than destroying rings

I genuinely think not many clubs touch the 25m fee, I read somewhere that if he leaves for that then he would be the highest fee received for a championship club.
So can’t see many teams touching it, even with the amount of ££ that Leeds have raised through sales.
I think I might be in the few but the closer it gets to the window closing the more comfortable I get.
There are certain posters who are negative constantly and find something to moan about or take a negative stance. This striker for example. Do folk think we are going to sign mbappe or Harry kame?It's the countless negativity, makes me wonder why? Why do they have to spoil every thread. When tackled they either come up with excuses that they do support the club or disappear. Not the sort of discussion or argument I enjoy.
No of course. However the high likelihood is that the market is setting Clarke’s value at a point that is lower than we’d want, so a £12m fee in a year wouldn’t represent a catastrophic drop-off. Also, if Harte’s goal is to get Clarke into the PL - and he’s any sort of competent agent at all - any contract extension will include a release fee in the region of £15m. If we don’t get our £25m asking price in the current circumstances I’d highly doubt we’ll get it in the future if the circumstances were equivalent.
All that will be rolled into the calculus on price. If we’re not letting him go for less this summer it’s because they feel that what they get in the round from keeping Clarke another year is worth it.
Lyon’s comments around it didn’t imply an underlying issue though (which would have been concerning). More that he would need an immediate period of absence due to an injury and that they needed someone to come straight in to replace a departing player.Hes got a good goal scoring rate in Russia when you break it down into minutes actually played
Think it was a goal every 151 minutes which is good
Ideally we would want someone with championship experience but these also cost a lot more now. This guy has a better pedigree than some of the strikers that have moved so far this season.
He def looks more of a striker than a winger, his movement looks good n he is very mobile so can see why RLB would want him
Like you not getting ahead of myself as he has failed a medical in the past
His career would be better managed if he stayed and had a cracking season with us rather than go to Leeds. The only move which makes sense to him is to move to a top PL club,not one likely to be engaged with the lower places,and for that he needs to be guaranteed regular starts. A successful season with us in and around the top 4 or 5 would much more likely get him that kind of move next summer,if he wants it.

We beat sheff wed 4.0 and a posters first comment was on the queues and the ticketing problems. Some folk are just wired to complain or question everything.
I don’t know how they call themselves supporters. They’re the very opposite. Worse than WUMs, incapable of encouragement and bleat on like entitled arseholes. The “Unforgivables”.
I hope they have a better life away from this forum but suspect not. Very sad people.
What’s a wind up? We’ve signed one forward from that region who was playing out of his skin there and he can’t get a game for us, what is signing a younger striker who hasn’t performed anywhere near as well going to achieve? If we sign Mendy are we going to put a loanee who’s statistically not as good as Rusyn, ahead of Mayenda?
So £4m on Hemir, Mundle and Mayenda plus wages for none of them to be anywhere near our first team never mind improve us, and we’re suggesting to sign MORE kids who might be better.. we aren’t Chelsea.
I don’t think I’ve slagged any of the strikers we signed off, none of them were given a proper chance last season and were playing ahead of midfielders who were dreadful playing around a striker. I’ve given Mayenda nothing but praise first two games of the season.
Browne looks decent but we’re playing 2 8s in the middle, Evans was a proper 6 and it allowed Neil to thrive as the 8. We don’t even know if he’s going to be able to play the 6 yet he was probably our worst player against Cardiff, bar maybe Mayenda. I’ll always favour round pegs in round holes. I also think Ballard looked very good that season when he had Bathh alongside him

Unless that was just spin as an act of goodwill towards the player.
Kinnell, back in ya box hahaJust a question.
How can you make that 'judgement' without seeing him or knowing anything about him ...
... then, in the same breath, ridicule people for making their own judgement based on watching him play football, albeit on Youtube.
"Mate come on, you’d not heard of him half an hour ago. We have no idea whatsoever if he’s a good fit."
You're trying to build an argument on what you incorrectly claim other people have said.
"On one hand people say that if you aren’t happy clapping about every single player we sign then you aren’t a proper fan."
No one is 'raving about him' or claiming he's the next Drogba just as they weren't raving about Hemir, Rusyn, etc.
In truth virtually everyone has been cautious but hopeful.
The way you simply imagine these things then use them to criticise 'all you lot' is what makes you look really negatively biased.
"Someone get a YouTube video up of him quick so you can all rave about how good he is."
You're doing exactly what you're accusing other people of ... seriously, can't you see that?
You only posted this a few weeks back so, perhaps, your definitive statements don't hold the gravitas you believe. One of those players was MOTM on Sunday and the other came on as a sub.
I couldn't care less what you post but please don't expect any respect if you insist on lumping everyone into your jibes. You keep claiming 'everyone' is a happy clapper lapping up everything the club does and raving about every possible signing, that's bollocks ...
... if you're going to quote someone do what I've just done and quote someone specific, not just these vague blanket quotes as if we're all your dopy inferiors. There's a good lad.

I really don’t care enough to spend an hour of my morning trawling through people’s previous posts to try and trip them up mate, I’d be here all day posting contradictory things others have said but I’m just not that arsed to be honest. Really need to calm all 5 foot 3 of yourself down mate.
Mayenda was our worst player against Cardiff because everyone else had a pretty good game? Am I wrong? Did I ask for him to be dropped? Was I sat here all of last season blaming the players around the strikers or did I point the finger at the strikers who weren’t given a chance like most on here who are now up Mayendas arse?
I simply said is this lad what we need. Never said he’s not good enough, never said he won’t score a hat full of goals. Just asked a question. Not my problem if chromosomes go missing and people throw their toys out their pram because I’m not overly excited. I’ve also never claimed anyone is inferior. You have a whinge about them over the road yet this is just turning into the same ****, everyone better rim the club otherwise the pitchforks are out![]()

It took ten minutes while I had my coffee.
Not everyone types with one finger with their tongue hanging out and I didn't just 'try' to trip you up ...
... I tied your shoelaces together and sat back watching everyone laugh at you as your pants fell down and you hit the deck
Have a lovely day backtracking and trying to work out how easy it was for someone to show how much you contradict yersel.
Course you didn’t, just took you ten minutes to write a reply but you penned that novel in record time.
Spent your morning trying to make me look daft and all you’ve came up with is that I said mayenda was our worst player against Cardiff after saying I’d given him praise first two games. Buried me there mind.
Don’t know how I’ll go about my day now knowing that you are laughing at me![]()
