By the way, no sightings of lanky Croats in my usual matchday abode. Although Isidor was in earlier with an entourage and a mountain of luggage. Think he's found a gaff already.

Seem to be based on him following Bochum on Instagram. Turns out his cousin plays there and he's now unfollowed them. Will probably end up with a Wee Phillie special in deadline day.

Excited by this one.

While Clarke is Premier League quality and worth 20th goals, you’d have to think actually having a functioning striker is worth fifteen of them?

What do you base this on? His 19 goals in the Austrian second division, his 1 goal in every 8 appearances in the Austrian top flight or his 1 penalty goal in the Champions League?

Last season he scored 5 in 28 appearances (1 every 5.6 games) but, more importantly, 5 in 1328 minutes (slightly better than 1 in 3). Not bad if you look at it properly.

It's the Austrian league man :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: people are going on as if we are getting him from the German or Spanish top flight
 
Be hell on if that money from Clarke is not reinvested, there is no excuses. If he isn't signing you better get your skates on and bring in another.

Stats are all about context really. He’s 20.
The 1 goal in 8 games is massively misleading.
He scored 5 goals in 28 games last season. Which straight away reduces it to 1 in 5. Taking the minutes into account it’s the equivalent of 1 in 3 last season.

He’s a big lad that has a decent amount of experience and is clearly highly rated. Coming in alongside Isodor and potentially Mendy, it looks a very good addition.
