Bid rejected for Clarke

[Safc88]

No. The expected fee is that high because of the massive sell on fee spurs put into the deal.

Ne1 nars what it is, even if there is one to start with

I would imagine ( because that’s about as far as any knowledge I have goes ) that KLD knowing four or five clubs are interested would start a bidding war with a minimum price in mind -every couple million will make a massive difference to recruitment
Personally I wouldn’t sell him for less than 25 million

At the time of the deal there were very good sources to suggest it was 20/30%. That's why we got him for so low upfront price.

You're right though it's not confirmed.

Bob just posted Clarke not leaving unless it's for "£22mill and that's from the top"..meaning KLD. Bit of a random price like.

Oh fuck, he’s gone for £10 million then

Oh fuck, he’s gone for £10 million then

Or he's staying put

3 yrs left in his deal, no real need to sell, lad has had a quality season…..we hold all the cards here, if he does go it will be on our terms, so any interested parties better dig deep

Tbf, Bob does get snippets.

Thank god the tory spiv has buggered off we'd have sold him for a £1million

throw enough mud at the wall it will eventually stick.

You’d think we would keep him and sell him next season if we don’t go up. Doesn’t make sense to sell with three years left if he’s okay with sticking around.

Well, we'll see mate.

 

[Shieldsman]

Absolutely no way we got him for £2m without the deal being back loaded i.e a massive sell on %. Levy isn’t stupid enough to let a player he paid £10m for just £2m flat.

Unless he wants to go there’s nothing to be gained by selling him. If Speakman is serious about a top 2 push, you’re not going to replace a player with 24 goal contributions unless you spend £15-£20m and those players aren’t going to sign for a championship club.

Really hope he stays, great lad, great player and pivotal to us having a proper go next year.

Burnley! What a depressing move that would be.

I reckon this will be how it goes

Tbf he posted that Donald had sold his remaining shares and left, got a load of shit for it, then it got announced.

I posted this ages ago

 

[JL1985]

Some of the fees being quoted are absolutely ridiculous. £10m barely gets you a months shopping these days. Ashley Fletcher cost £6m 5 years ago. Anything less than £25-30m and we’ve been ripped off.

One in a million attempts, good for him

Spot-on. A £10m profit in the bank doesn't contribute those goals and someone of that quality won't be wanting to play in the Championship. We lucked out with Clarke so let's keep him til next summer and see how the land lies.

£22m might be so we get a round figure after add ons

Like how £11.1m (ish) reduced by 10% is £10m
