Jack Clarke

Sorry boys but me goldfish gans to fish daycare with Jack Clarkes mam's, friends, dad's fish and he's told me he's already got his white, yellow and blue undercrackers on ready for the move 😄
 

Just for context . i know his Aunty personally . She said he was definitely going to Burnley when it was rumoured .
if the cousin is a Yorky from Tang Hall dont believe a word of it, professional shite hawks that will tell you owt you'll believe for sport.šŸ˜„
:lol:

Anar exactly how it sounds but I’ve seen the video they got Clarke to record for him so it’s definitely a relation. My family member also said his female cousin is the double of Clarke. Hopefully you’re right. He asked them about the rumoured contract the other day and they said it was bollocks. Hopefully just on the windup

Don’t you think if he’d been told the contract extension was bollocks days ago by a family member of Clarke’s that he’d have already posted it here? Rather than only bringing it up to make his ā€œinfoā€ about something else sound more credible?

oh i dont doubt hes a cousin and his Aunty wasnt telling lies ( lovely woman) . its just its more likely 2+2 making 5 .
i dont think Jack would share definite info till it was done. If hes putting a shirt on for us its not done .

I have a close friend who supports and knows a lot of what goes on at Leeds.He told me a few weeks ago if they lose some players for decent money bringing Clarke back was going to be high on their list. Hopefully we won’t but If we sell him to a Championship rival that would really tell us of the owners intent.Every player has his price I suppose but the number would have to begin with a 2 surely.

I think the buying club will be irrelevant, it’s whoever matches the asking price. Leeds are one of a few sides in this league who could pay the sort of money we’d be looking for.

At the end of last season pretty much everyone was convinced Clarke would be away and although we’ve got to within a fortnight of the window closing I still think it’s more than likely.

What worries me is what Speakman would (or wouldn’t) do with the money.
 
what’s the TL;DR on this?

This forums utter shite for staying up to date with transfers these days. There’s no chance I’m trawling through 38 pages.

Looks like we were happy that he was signing a new deal, now everyone thinks he’s off to Leeds? Is it all pure Speculation or has there been a bid accepted?

Some random twitter account put an eyes emoji on a video of Clarke as a bairn at Leeds and the usual suspects have wet the bed

Basically no one knows anything and the information vacuum is being filled.

@skunk hater said he’s signed a new deal (got stuff right in the past) and @Di Canios Knees said he’d heard the same.

Today some tactics Twitter acc posted ā€œ šŸ‘€ ā€œ on a video of Clarke as a young player at Leeds.

Leeds forum suddenly had a load of ITKs with info, claiming hes going there.

Then a couple of other ITKs said it wasn’t. No idea which of them is reliable obviously as they’re on the Leeds forum.

Everyone here is hoping for a positive update from our own decent sources, nowt yet.
 
One thing we do know is if he goes then it will be for top dollar.

The club have a price for him and unless it is met he is going nowhere.

I’ll be gutted even though I’ve accepted he is moving on as the lad has been nowt but a credit to himself and the club and I’ll wish him all the best apart from when he plays us of course.

My much bigger worry is how we decide to re-invest the money from any deal.
 
ā€œIf x happens it will confirm everything I already believeā€

Out of interest, if he signs an extension will that also tell us a lot? Or does it only work one way?

We signed Ballard, Jobe and Rigg to new deals and that doesn’t seem to count for much with some people,

Club have done well with the above. Just my personal opinion I think the club will sell Clarke if someone offers in excess of £20m even if he was to sign a new contract

I agree with you
 
I'm not sure a championship club would pay what we would want and also pay Clarke the going rate for a £20mill player. I'd be more worried if he was being linked to Premier League sides.
We offered Rutter same terms as Brighton to try and keep him. Wages wouldn't be a problem. There are a few on over 50k a week in our squad.
 
I obviously l really really want him to stay and that would be the best outcome.

If he goes then it will be for a big fee. My concern is whether we’ll re-invest that money in the playing squad or it’ll be used to help with the sustainability plan.
