Bid rejected for Clarke


If they did it would be massively revealing of the ambitions of the ownership group.

I am slightly concerned by the silence from the club. I do think when on the receiving end of such derisory offers that a public rejection of such bids could nip any unwanted gossip on this in the bud. The silence possibly suggests that you could be right. And that concerns me a touch.
Good lord man
 
If one or two Prem teams are prepared to double his wages he will go this window. So would anyone else in his position - even Sunderland fans such as Patto and Neil.
He won’t he doesn’t want to leave and is preparing to sign a new contract here probably on less than any PL team will give him.
 
Always wondered what happens if a club accepts a bid but player doesn’t want to gan

must’ve happened
Frenkie de Jong at Barcelona, they were trying to force him out to Man Utd last summer but he refused to leave. There'll be plenty of it going on, could argue Bent to Villa was one of those depending who you believe.
 
10 million.... genuinely insulting.

The lad wants to be here, his agent has said as much and the club have said they are under no pressure to sell. The club clearly value him in the team and as do the fans.

Pending a ridiculous bid, the lads not going anywhere.
 
No need to get emotional about it from our side but don’t see why we’d sell at £10m. Isn’t that close to what we’ve paid for him? Had a hell of a season, still very young and only likely to get better. Even £15m wouldn’t be enough for me but that’s a realistic offer.

You just need to look at the fees for other players from this level.

Lewis-Potter went for what? £17m? Millwall just rejected a £15m bid for Flemming.

Clarke is too important to us to sell for anything less than £20m imo.
