Bid rejected for Clarke

This would be a strange position to take. I agree, we should not be selling our best players unless an acceptable offer is made. If someone came in for Clarke offering £50m I think we will be selling. It's all about striking the balance that allows us to continue to grow valuable youth players, who develop into first teamers, who then sell for more than we value them. That money is partially re-invested in higher value youth players and so on. This is sustainable and allows us greater power in the transfer market, all while improving the standard of our first team.

Oh aye.

I should have added 'except for silly money'.

I've said elsewhere if they offer £39M then we should definitely consider it...

I haven’t read all the posts on this thread. I’m half pissed on a balcony in Turkey.
Jack Clarke is a £20m player……..at least. Burnley have just had a major cash injection.
If Clarke is a Premier league player ( and he is) he can play there with us.
Once he is in the Premier League and the public see what he can do, his value will double.
I’m not kidding.
If he had a fancy foreign name Chelsea would be in with a £50/60m bid.

Aye. A fancy foreign name
Like Gordon 😂😩😂£45m😂😂😳
 
£18 million bare minimum, they are obviously trying to unsettle him putting these shite bids in and I’d like to think they won’t (unsettle him) as he should have bigger aspirations than playing for Burnley tbh.

If Everton hadn’t had the mags pants down for Gordon I’d be thinking £20m was a ok deal for us and Clarke.
Mount for £60m versus Gordon for £45m? Im sure someone has been robbed there but can’t quite decide who ;) Are there any maga on here can enlighten me?

Well Burnley forum seem to know more than us😂we paid £3.5 with a 20% sell on profit. Which gives us a massive £4.4m profit…

One or two also say he will nt start ahead of someone called Zaroury -if that’s the case cannot see him warming the bench for a team that would be fighting to stay up ?
