At this moment in time, they are both very likely to stay.

We have to accept that there will be interest in these plays. Sign that the model is working!!!

If significant offers are made, then equally they will be considered as reinvested. Would have to meet the loft valuations set by the club though.
Hope your right mate.

Clarke has looked excellent in pre season.

We're going to have to sell a player, that's likely to be a fan favourite, for a big fee at some point. We can't progress and be sustainable without it.

I'm relaxed about it though, I think a lot of fans' anxiety about a good player leaving is because they can't shake the mindset that it's a fluke that player being here and being good in the first place.

I can understand where that thinking comes from, over the decades our successes in the transfer market and bringing players on has been so sporadic that it'd be reasonable to think that it's by accident rather than design. But that's different now and that's what fans are going to need to realise when we do eventually make the big sale. This is now all by design, we have the systems, personnel and infrastructure in place to identify and bring in these gems and then develop them. It means that Stewart, Diallo, Clarke etc aren't one offs, they can and likely will all be repeated.

We brought the current squad in basically from scratch and without much wriggle room in the budget or on FFP. Imagine what can be done now all the foundations are established and if we had £40 odd million in our pockets from the sale of Stewart, Ballard and Clarke.
 
Agreed. The amount of goals and assists we would lose would be significant. They would need replacing ASAP for a promotion challenge.
Not just the goals either. Early signings help but wholesale player changes often mean inconsistencies, bad starts and lost points even if replacements are good quality. Especially from overseas which seems our market.

Absolutely disgusting amount of money that like.

I think he’s a proper little knobhead as well, me.

Will show his true colours if he goes to Saudi, proves that money is more important to him than anything else.
 
Keef now reporting about another bid for Clarke.
