Jack Clarke


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
Not saying it's true but if you're Jack Clarke and hear we've accepted 15m for yourself you're hardly going to feel highly valued.
 
That figure is ridiculously low to be true and I suspect the fee will be a lot higher than what the club is drip feeding to the press.

Question is though if this a deliberate ploy, what’s happening to that extra cash 🧐
 
Obviously we’ll never replace JC

But as long as we spread the money across a good LW a good striker etc to bring in the goals we’re losing I’ll be ‘happy’

JC is a match winner though
Love him he's been superb and I wish him all the best however I do think he will be back in the championship next season
 
Could go a few ways but two paths that spring to mind for me are we could be doing what our gaffer's previous club laid on him, or we could, with his input, be about to adopt a style of play that moves us away from being a one trick pony. Who knows, as ever I'll wait and see how it pans out for us and for Clarke.
 
Can't believe we're only getting 7m. Let's all just keep rounding down until the story is we are paying them to take Clarke from us, against his wishes. Then we'll really be angry... Calm down. We're fine.
 
I don’t think this is a good deal for Jack Clarke as Ipswich will probably be relegated this season or for Sunderland as surely he’s worth more than figures quoted. The Stewart Money was not reinvested in a decent replacement so I’ve little confidence the money will be spent wisely this time.
 
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.
You're right - yet loads of our fans being out up constantly to defend us not signing a decent striker for 2+ years
 
Absolutely shocking, loads of less talented players being sold for a lot more. Look at the 2 the mags sold. This regime has absolutely no interest in promotion. I hope I’m wrong but we’re going nowhere under KLD.
