If Ipswich are signing that lad from Villa, that's pushes Clarke even further down the pecking order. He can only come back to us or sit on the bench / not play at Ipswich for the rest of the season.

Mundle has had quite a serious hamstring injury and Watson is not due back till March, would it be so terrible if we looked at bringing Clarke back to further boost our options?

Not saying it could happen, but I wouldn't be adverse to him coming back

Doesn't fit the way we do things and I have to say I'm quite enamoured by the way we do things.
 
Does this mean Roma are paying his wages in full? Or have I read it wrong, if they are then this is an even more ridiculous deal than I imagined
It could mean that we are paying a loan fee which covers his wages. If he signs this fee will be deducted from the transfer fee..
Who knows.
I'm not that concerned to be honest, the club seems to be more financially astute these days so I'll leave it to them
 
Question for those involved in the game.

When a deal is agreed, do the clubs and player sign off on the deal, subject to a medical assessment. I.e only way it falls through is if a defined issue is found.

Or, does the deal remain legally open until the last minute, allowing for other parties to make a late move.

Assume the former, as lots of travel , legal costs involved etc, but interested to know the norm.

Cheers
 
One of the salary websites listed him on £65k, which I imagine we're paying half of now and we'll probably have to reimburse Roma the other half (6 months) if the deal goes through. I still find it hard to believe this is going to happen, I'll really believe it when I see it.

pretty sure its the latter but I don't work in the game. But in any walk of life, nothing's signed until its signed. Even if we signed a "statement of intent", its only that, an intent. And intents can change.

Sounds so risky in football doesn't it. Especially as you don't benefit from confidentiality. Details of deals are often leaked, as a club you'd think an element of protection would be build into the agreement. Cheers for reply, Interesting

Yeah its all done at risk as far as I know. I'm sure theres examples on deadline day where clubs have flown players over and then they've gone and had medicals somewhere else :D
