Think a 25m package and he'll be off, though Sander Berge has just gone for £20m and he is not better than Clarke.

Sunderland refusing to let Clarke go wouldn't attract young ambitious players like him imo ...

... and a drop in form, if he was asked to stay, would be a disaster for the team and and the club.

That's what I think.
 
Based on what?

They’re completely different players and Berge has done it in the PL - he’s a very good player.
A mate is a Sheff Utd supporter and he only has played a full season of games in the premier league once. Though I get your point.
 
To get a rough idea


Rutter 6G 15A - £40M


Hutchinson 10G 5A - £22M + 25% Sell on clause


Delap 8G 2A - £15M + £5M + 20% Sell on clause


Rowe 12G 2A - £14M + £3M


How much does this make Clarke worth in your opinion? (15G 4A) Obviously goals and assists aren’t everything and players will have played indifferent roles and positions for a different number of matches but just a rough idea.
 
Fan base is hilarious

all summer it’s been get two good strikers in we’ll be fine. Maybe need a sale to pay for then

we sign two (it seems) and Clarke may be leaving for a bumper fee for us. Which is the whole model

now it’s forget strikers if we lost Clarke we’re ****dd speakman out etc

I do love Clarke but after Sunday would it be that much of a killer? Anyway I reckon we reject it and he doesn't go

If you ignore the strikers and look at the 2 attacking midfielder/wingers, factor in Clarke's age compared to them and the fact that he's had a failed move to the Premier League before, I think a few lower than Hutchinson but higher than Rowe feels right. £17.5m rising to £22.5m would be a realistic price.

More proof,if any were needed,that a number of our so called fan base remain mentally challenged.
