Bullshit, harte has been agitating for weeks. Clarke could have instructed him to cut it out he if intended to sign a new deal here. This is all done with the clients blessing and getting gets a big wage increase out of it.
He's a grown man, if he doesn't want to leave he doesn't have to sign anything
This comes from the player and his team of advisors and nobody else.

This "they used to be in league 1" bollocks is silly like. If another club said it about us we'd be pissing ourselves at it. Completely irrelevant to anything.

What they mean, quite obviously, is that it’s players like Clarke that get you from L1 to the premiership. That is an abysmal fee.

Gents, just sit back for a minute, we have lost our best player for a fee that is let’s be totally honest which is beyond a joke in todays market to a club who where recently playing in L1.We played them literally 12 months ago, a club who have shown proper ambition and leadership from the very top and reaped their rewards. Hope the money is worth it KLD our chances of going up I would suggest have just been reduced by at least 30%

And without giving Clarke a centre forward to play with they were low to begin with

Dear me what a load of shite it's his decision end of the day if he doesn't want to uproot his family and move hundreds of miles away then he can just stay here

Its not like he will be dropped and train with the under 21s

His decision aye but the club have $ signs in their eyes now so that’s probably why he feels he’s being forced if true like

It is. I’ve just said on a previous post, I think that’s Em’s reaction to it rather than his - just passing on what info I’ve been given myself
 
I guess it was always going to happen tbh. Feel a bit sorry for him that's it's Ipswich in the end, if there was truth in the Lazio bid. I always thought a bigger club would come in for him. We could have maybe tried for another half season out of him, but it's how it is.

It does seem a bit strange that we've sold him for what we rejected last year, considering the season he had.

Le Bris was maybe a bit naive using him so much in preseason truth be told, because I think Speakman will think that his replacement is already at the club- meaning the left wing.

His goals will need replacing though. The solution is Amad really, but that ship has long since sailed. So let's hope one of these strikers does the business.

To be fair his left foot is worth about £15m. Brighton have just signed Rutter from Leeds for £40m who scored seven goals last season. If Ipswich think Clarke is a premier league player they should be paying premier league money.

They don’t need to when you’ve got kld in charge.

Poor little fucker must have been terrified he was going to have to break into his 3 year isa and spend a couple of quid.

We are going nowhere under these clowns. Well go down again before we go up under these
