I think the Stewart and Clarke contract situations are very similar, they are both really happy at the club and were prepared to sign new contracts, their agents however knowing how important they are to the team had told them to hang fire as they would be able to get the a much better deal, however the club have stood strong on their structure making the agents look like fools.
They will probably be now portraying that the club don't know the real value of the player, hopefully the players can see through this.
There's a reason Burnley keep offering around 10M which is well below our valuation, they are being tipped off by someone who only interested in creating interest in Clarke, there was supposedly a few clubs after Stewart but yet none have come forward.
I an still confident both will still sign however no one will be sure how much their agents have gotten in to their heads, problem is they are interested more in the bank balance than their clients future
