Where do you get fourty million from? If that much did come in, we would be lucky to see five or six spent on the team.

I’m interested to know what this is based on. The Stewart situation? The general transfer business? The overall transfer spend? The ballpark of transfer fees we’ve spend generally?

Previous transfer windows. Already got Clarke replacement and Ballards too.

Anyone else not excited by the thought of 40M + coming into the coffers in the summer from the sales of Clarke and Ballard?

Burnley built an unreal squad last season from money generated from player sales, spent around 35m in total and walked the league.

Heartbroken as the next fella but every cloud and that.

Our owner will send that cash to the Middle East

Someone will take a chance on Clarke for £10-£15m

Not so sure about Ballard

10-15m agree. How much do we get. Maybe two thirds? The rest will go to spurs.

Ballard maybe get 5-6m.

So we end up with 15m, no doubt paid in installments.

Mights see a 3-4m spent on players who won't be as good as Clarke or Ballard.

The model is only going to get us out of the championship in one direction unless its seriously amended

40M. Not sure where people get these figures.

I've said it before, and tin hat on but I don't see many PL teams queing up for either.

Nailed it.

Not a f***ing chance we are getting anywhere near that for them 2.

Nee tin hat on either.

Very lucky to get get 30 at the max for the pair.
25 nearer the proper value at the most.
 
I can see Patterson going to a big 6 club as second/third choice keeper. There is not many English goalkeepers under the age of 25 around, and the big 6 clubs are always needing to ensure they remain within the English quota, hence why Lee Grant spent time at Man United and Scott Carson at Man City.

I think Clarke will go to a club like Brentford or Palace.

Ballard linked to Everton and I can see why, I think that could well happen.

I think we will keep Dan Neil. He (wrongly IMO) doesn't acquire as much hype as other young midfielders, namely Hackney and Gray. So I think he will stay, but he is as premier league ready as Clarke if not more IMO.

You did say he hasn’t! But not to Labour over that point he’s here because he’s our key player contracted until 2026 and we didn’t want to sell for below £20m. Plus he’s happy here.

He was happy here when we seemed to have a direction of travel, and a coach that helped his developement and believed in him.

He has got neither of those things anymore.

I wouldnt blame the lad for walking to another club that offered that, and fuck what the fee to us was.

All of the fuck ups that the ownership have made recently are going to bite us on the arse, and previously loyal players wanting away at any cost is going to be one of them.

And I don't blame them if they do atm tbh.
