We didn’t need to sell. You don’t just take the first offer. If these owners are so great we wouldn’t be desperate for the cash to sign a striker.
It wasn't the first offer, it was the highest any club would pay.

Definitely. Doesn’t look like he’d be comfortable out wideOut n out CF imo
I'm not the one moaning about the price, it's you that is using the reported £15m as a stick to beat the club withWe can only go off what’s reported. So you don’t know either.
A bit of a throwback number 9. The Salzburg system is a midfield diamond with two strikers who have to drift out wide to provide width so it didn't really suit his gameQuestion for the more knowledgeable posters if you dont mind. Is Simic an out and out striker or could he play as a wide forward?
Wrong mate we were obviously beating away the 30/40 million pound offers people think he’s worthIt wasn't the first offer, it was the highest any club would pay.
Proper no9, or at least has that ability to be that - really hope it comes offDefinitely. Doesn’t look like he’d be comfortable out wide
Well I went to bed last night down in the dumps but once the sun came out over Roker riviera things don’t seem so bad . Good luck to JC and thanks for your efforts, welcome Wilson all the best for the future, here’s hoping Simic is announced around teatime keep the faith looking forward to tomorrow.
I’m not looking forward to meeting me m8 to night he makes Northumberland Rocks look like a barrel of laughs COME ON

Harte is a total money grabber.
Does anyone believe he'd have settled for less than Clarke is worth.
Just because Sunderland accepted the bid Harte/Clarke was under no obligation to leave.
But that's enough facts for the moment ...
... I'll stand aside and let wild speculation have a turn![]()
Reminds me a lot of Ross StewartProper no9, or at least has that ability to be that - really hope it comes off
For Ipswich not SAFC. So if someone offers you a crap price for your house do you just accept it? We have accepted it because we need the money to buy strikers.It was the right price otherwise another club would've paid more.
he’s sucked the life out of me all transfer window please give a thought for me and the lads around 5.30 it’s no wonder I drinkCommiserations marra.....I have a mate like that....I've been trying to avoid him for over 60 years,with no success!!![]()
if it wasnt for these owners we wouldn't have had Clarke in the first placeFor Ipswich not SAFC. So if someone offers you a crap price for your house do you just accept it? We have accepted it because we need the money to buy strikers.
If we had owners like Ipswich who had some balls we wouldn’t be in this situation.
I don’t disagree with what you are saying. If it was £20 to £25m with add ons I think that’s acceptable.But you don't know it's £15m, reports say £15 plus add ons so it's a lot more. I personally think they got him for a low price if it's in 20 but we have to make a decision and it seems we need the money to get our own players in before the window closes. Ill say again the 2/3 forwards we seem to be aiming for makes us a better all round team
Once again, show me a club buying players of an adequate level who have not sold someone first. Show me.I don’t disagree with what you are saying. If it was £20 to £25m with add ons I think that’s acceptable.
the problem for me without sounding like a broken record is we have accepted a low offer because we need a couple of strikers in. If the owners had shown some balls snd invested in a couple of strikers we may have got £25m next week when premier league clubs go mad.
Your question is irrelevant. We don’t need to sell Clarke. He is under contract for two years. We have taken a cheap offer because we are desperate to buy strikers.@Northumberland Rocks .....I posed the question earlier....apart from Ipswich,have you or anyone else on here heard of any serious interest for Jack from any other Prem clubs?
I must be one then, because although it wasn’t what I’d have done it wasn’t a major **** up to me. I also look for the positives in what KLD & co are doing(of which they far out way the negatives).You’re right there
Some right cock suckers despite the BCB shambles.
