Bid rejected for Clarke

[parsonjohn1985]

Apparently Ba is very highly rated at the club.

I must admit up to now I've been very impressed. Once he starts to fill out a bit I think we've got a player.

I really like him. Once he improves his decision making he'll be an excellent player

£9m they can gan fuck themselves. They've probably just received another £100m+ for their PL position.
Over £30m and we can talk but even then I'd rather we kept him.

Let's not be too hasty

30m in the champo can go a long way

Not really sure how that is positive or negative. Agents making money off clients is a fact of life.

Enjoy your day, mate.


Can you clarify where I’ve said our hierarchy have stated we would sell for 15 million?

Also, I don’t live on here, mate so apologies I’ve not responded to a random bloke on the internet fast enough for you.

So you plucked a figure out of mid air and passed it off as fact

Are you able to provide a link to this?

Read your own posts you said 15m we would sit down to discuss without any source given.Anyway not discussing further he wont be going anywhere unless 25m bid in.

I’d advise you the same tbf. I’ve not once said the figure came from the hierarchy, nor have I just picked a figure from thin air or passed it off as fact and my posts reflect that.

It seems you just have though which is ironic.

Harte couldn't have been more positive about us if he tried...some people man

Harte is a rare breed, an agent who actually carries some integrity. The one thing he is absolutely right in stating is that every player has his price….. if a bid of £20m is offered I believe sadly Clarke will be sold.

 

[Be Here Now]

The £100million from the revenue from getting promoted would be far more beneficial to SAFC than taking £20m on a player who is so vital

If what Harte is saying is right and hes happy here forget about every player having a price. Keep him here, score and create the goals that will get us Premier League football

This whole model depends on receiving good value for our young players.

They would be mad to consider anything below £15m upfront and rising.

No doubt at all we'll take £20mill mate.

Exactly. All signings are a risk, even if we had a fair bit to spend. We know what we are getting with Clarke and that is someone who can make the difference between challenging and not.
We've already lost Amad who will be almost impossible to replace and £20m would unlikely to do so for both imo.

Not sure how credible but a couple Spanish newspapers reporting atletico of all places in for Zaha on a free, wouldn't help us out if he does leave there

This article seems to suggest he won't push for move and will only go if we accept a bid judging by his agents comments.

His agent is Ian harte ex Sunderland

EVERY player has a price.

Free agents don't

 

[OohBaldyBally]

Free agents don't

There’s no such thing as a free transfer. They all come with signing on fees, agents fees etc etc.

Just because they have a price it doesnt mean they have to be sold

The price is the amount you sell at. Otherwise it isn't the price.

I don't really care what is "price" is

Keep him here

Let him carry on where he left off at end of last season and give us a much better chance of getting into the Premier League

What if the price was so high, you could by the 11 best South American children?
