Starting to get dangerous now.

He's clearly not going to sign a new contract. He'd be a fool to do so.

So if he leaves this month, then a replacement is looking less and less likely by the hour.

If he doesn't leave this month, his transfer value drops with the fact his contract is running out, with only 2 years left on his deal.

Leeds would be a very good move for him. They need someone to replace Summerville and although Clarke isn't as good (and to be fair, they were never going to replace Summerville with someone of the same standard), he's a very able replacement. They are also in a decent position to gain promotion. PL football with Leeds is much more likely than if he stays.

Leeds wouldn’t be a good move for him. It’s a side ways step IMO. Pointless

The squads, the experience and the managerial team.

Agree. That might upset the applecart more than it should. But I imagine Leeds will reinvest some of that transfer money, in the next couple of weeks. Their squad is still decent for a top 6 finish and a couple of signings, they'll be right in the mix for the top 2, again.

manager wise who knows he’s done well in this division and failed too like last season. Reggie is an unknown just like carrick was when he took over and done well since.

Farke has gained promotion out of this division on a number of occasions.

Reggie has a relegation on his CV and that's pretty much it.

He still has two years left. If he stays another year his value will drop, but we would still make a profit selling him next year.

Given how tricky getting a replacement on shirt notice would be, it's worth having him here another year even if his value drops.

Leeds in the Championship this year are a less attractive proposition than Leeds in the Championship last year.

if premier league teams are interested it would very much be a sideways move to stay in the championship, nonsense.

That's a big if.

Only Ipswich and Southampton have had any decent sort of interest? And since then, they've signed other players - Ipswich Szmodics and Saints with Brereton-Diaz and Archer?

Both could still come in for Clarke.

But if neither do, then moving to Leeds would still be more beneficial to Clarke than staying.

The only other reason for Clarke to stay, would be thinking he likely has more options come next summer or 2026 when he's free.

Leeds are skint and likely to be chasing playoffs same as us. No reason to leave a club where hes happy and playing well just to join a playoff rival. its a non starter
 
I’ve said for a while that the lad will move in, he deserves a shot at premier league football and he has been brilliant for us, model professional.

However he will only go if a team meets our valuation of him, if they don’t I’d be delighted to keep him as he clearly makes us a better team.

The level of interest from Boro fans on this is off the scale…..lads the Leeds fans aren’t gonna shag you

Or the fact he likes it here and has faith we might have a play off push this year.
If we got promoted this year and could match wages next season there’s not a chance he’d leave. He will be here this season 100% and probably on a new contract.

Wrong again

Both palace and wolves have had as much interest in him than the others and in terms of championship burnley have actually had bids rejected for him and they’d be a much better move for him than Leeds.

He’ll go when our valuation is met not so sure how hard that is to understand 🤣🤣
