We have to bring in a full back! Otherwise we are left with 6 defenders for 4 positions, that is very light!!
I'd love us to sign a starting centre half and have O'Nien as cover for every single defensive position
 
My ITK mate insisted, this was last summer mind, that Clarke would stay for this very reason. I do feel things are different now, he had a great season last season and he can probably triple his wages easily with pretty much any Premiership club.

His family are still in York, he can get down the A1 in a bit over an hour when it's quiet, and he does that regularly. That counts for something, not everything, but something and I'm quite sure geography (as well as wages) will play some part in where he signs.
100% - footballers are real people and they put down roots. Being close to "home" and family/friends is an important thing to consider.
 
This Simic deal really is exciting, isn’t it. Can’t claim to have seen the lad play, but to have champions league goal, assist and MOTM under his belt is pretty impressive. Hopefully we get it over the line and enjoy watching him playing for the lads soon…

Google his name and look in the News section if you really want to get excited, some cracking write up’s about him.

Now this is me just spitballing and thinking outside of the box.

Could we accept money plus a player for Clarke? It would obviously reduce our fee but also Spurs' cut plus we'd also get someone in.

Don't quote me on this, but I think player exchanges still have to have a monetary value placed on each player. So (for example) Clarke would be valued at £25m and someone like Broadhead at £7m and we'd still have to pay Spurs 25% of the £25m

Ah, never knew that.
 
That’s enough CB cover but not when you consider if Cirkin or Hume are missing one of those has to go to full back. If we lost both full backs (god forbid) then that would be our back four and we’d have no cover!
Disagree, last few seasons have seen us desperately short at centre half. Think We’ve played Hume, O’Nien, Cirkin, Alese, Seelt, Triantis, Ballard, Hjelde, Anderson at some point last season. We need five in my view.

We have 6.

2 of them are injured right now, but 1 is back in a week
