Jack Clarke

[kildaremackem]

Or even January If we aren’t looking likely we’d still get £10-15m you’d think?

why would it drop in january..he would still have 18 months left..

 

[Father Jack Hackett]

15+5 to me seems they’ve been given some encouragement (Mr Harte) that 20 mill may be a figure to get into talks with Clarke.

We are probably wanting the full 20 up front with some additional guaranteed add ons

I reckon if Ipswich get to say 20+5 that we’ll do business

That should be the minimum considering the other deals they’ve done

This for me is the minimum. He has two years on his contract - 6 months to gamble to get ourselves in a position where we might look good value is well worth a few million. We’d just spend that on someone that doesn’t come close to Clarke, anyways

 

[Milton no nez]

Gotta think if delap is going for £20 million with little to no impact what the hell is Clarke worth, at least double probably treble.

 

[Father Jack Hackett]

Isn’t that obvious? 6 months less on his contract

 

[kildaremackem]

Isn’t that obvious? 6 months less on his contract

but is that a signiifcant time period in and of itself..

 

[Perryqhill]

To be fair the bloke quoted genuinely belies mark wood has been better for England than James Anderson so need to be taken with a dumper truck size load of salt like

Presumably that's cricket and I don't follow, but I've seen enough over the years from said poster to understand what you mean

 

[genewolf]

It wouldn't be very easy for Jack to get back home to York mind. Best part of 4 hours each way. I've been to Ipswich and I'd be pretty miserable there knowing I couldn't go home. With respect to the place, its a dump.

Only an hour 15 mins into London mind, but Jack hates it there as well.

 

[Zidane]

Got to be £25m minimum.

Premier League teams are spending 20/30/40 million now on completely bog standard signings.

 

[Noiser]

Just like the plan for Ross Stewart’s departure?

We are still paying the price for that.

If lessons haven't been learned it's gross incompetence by the club.

 

[Grimes]

15m is ludicrous

 

[HarrogateMackem]

For me, it feels like £20m is probably enough for us to build our the depth in our squad at CB, probably sign the two strikers we need and replace him at left wing with someone who can contribute 10 goals a season.

It's perfectly possible that with a more balanced side we will actually improve in terms of goals across the side, and become a better attacking team.

 

[The Little General]

15m is ludicrous

My answer to them would've been something like "You've just insulted us so the price is now £30 million. Insult us again and it will go up again". With the Burnley offers rejected I just don't understand why they even bothered with that offer.

 

[Zimba]

Just like the plan for Ross Stewart’s departure?

To be fair, he would've done fuck all if he was here anyway as he spent most the season injured.

We needed a striker with or without him.

 

[Sea to Shining Sea]

Half those players listed simply can't be considered to be viable first team options for this season. They're just not good enough. Arguably only Roberts and poveda are of an acceptable standard for a club wanting to push for the play offs. If clarke goes and isn't replaced we become significantly waaker in that position.

You’ll not get much argument from me on any of that

 

[Billy Batts]

Just can't see him going to Ipswich, particularly for the money banded about. Surely we're not that stupid.

 

[sofatester]

Exactly look at the Elliott Anderson who forest signed from the mags 40 million and he's done absolutely fuck all in his career so far

 

[Onlyfoolsrushin]

If 30-40% of the profit is going to Spurs, its got to be £25m minimum. Do we know the sell on clause?

 

[humbug]

can't add anything to the rumourmill but i'm of the opinion if he goes, he goes. that's the way football is.
i'll wish him all the best in his future career and it's been an absolute joy to watch him playing in our shirt.

We'd need to sell him for £27M then. I think everyone would be ok with that

25% is being bandied about

Exactly look at the Elliott Anderson who forest signed from the mags 40 million and he's done absolutely fuck all in his career so far

We all know that hes not worth that though.. it was just a fudge to balance the books
