Jack Clarke

We won’t be in the PL next season. Selling Clarke for that fee at this rage with 2 years left shows the ambition of the club.

Im just thankful we have 6 points. 44 points or so to stay up. If anyone thinks we’ll challenge for the top 6 I laugh now ha ha !
The fee can be disputed, but honeslty it was always likely we would lose him this window. From that perspective we would have to try and find a way to achieve promotion without him regardless of when he left.

The linked incomings are promising, and we are off to a good start. Just have to build on that and hope we have enough elsewhere. It will also mean there aren’t games where the entire plan becomes “pass it to Clarkey” which I think hindered us at times.
 

It's The Model, it's not looking good
Selling our best players, yes it's understood
We say we'd like to keep them time after time
But it only takes one bid and then we wave them goodbye

I tell you I did not feel liberated when Clarke was out injured last season
Lettuce all calm down

Someone deserves a rocket, this thread is complete radish.

I do accept our owners are looking to buy cheap and sell high.

What I’m less willing to accept is that £15 million rising to 20 of which we lose 25%
For an attacking player that’s been outstanding for 2 years in the championship and stood out is a fee that none of the people who watch him week in week out would accept !!

He’s got 2 years left.
If he helped us to go up this season had we rejected this offer do u think he’d be in hurry to sign for Ipswich next year ?

We have a really good core of young british talent that could grow together.

Patterson neil Ballard Clarke Hume cirkin and alese.

Back then and build around them and we have as good a chance as anyone to go up.

I can’t accept £15 million rising to 20 for Clarke is too good to turn down !!

Unless there is a release clause in that we don’t know about.
‘If he helped us go up this season’ - like he did last season, like he did the season before? Just perhaps we will do better with this money developing a better front line that isn’t over reliant on one player?
