Bid rejected for Clarke


..well they are obviously being told by someone to keep on bidding and being given encouragement.
Maybe they feel if they keep pissing about putting bids in then they hope to unsettle him and have him hand in a transfer request?

You would think the only minor encouragement we have given them is saying “every player has their price..”, but I would have thought that sentence was finished with “…and his is over double what you have currently bid” but they’ve just ignored that and been very vocal about increasing the bid by a fiver each time

Aye, they could possibly be trying to unsettle him. I don't think Burnley is an attractive proposition for Clarke personally.
 
It’s not in the models best interests to sell a “star” player to an obviously smaller club PL than ourselves even if theyve PL money burning holes in their pockets. Selling to a Villa, WHU, Everton, sized PL club or whoever constitute the “big” clubs at the time illustrates a path to our other current and potential players both home and abroad that we are a worthwhile career move.
If all we do is move em on to Burnley, Sheff Utd, Luton, Fulham etc then future signings will think they may as well have just hung on where they are until one of those came calling.

Reading the Burnley forum they think Kompany isn’t being backed. That 10m for Clarke is too much money and Southampton want 20m for Tella.

Plus they’ve taken another overdraft on future tv money.
 
I quoted you, which is what you asked🤷‍♂️ what have i made up? Anyway, we'll never agree.
“Stats don’t speak for themselves at all” isn’t the same as I take no notice of them at all, hence why I said your interpretation was ridiculous. I’ve tried my best explaining but with some people there’s simply no explaining.
Jack Clarke isn’t as good as Pirlo
But Jack Clarke’s vital statistics in the final third are better so he must be!
