Every single club's players have their price, not just at Sunderland. It wouldn't be anything like having a new signing when he stays either. Bizarre post to be honest.

I that's odd. It's not like he's been loaned out and came back. It was be like having him on the left like normal.

9m basic with different add ons or more of the 9m up front. Perhaps it's just papers knowing burnley are interested and making up numbers though.Doubt we are still at the same price 5 weeks later mate.

There’s low and then there’s derisory…….and then there’s derisory three times!

Because there is a low offer and just being insulting. If he had only a year left on his contract fair enough. But he is a key player, with 3 years left on his contract and the back of a very productive season. With the current transfer climate even 12 mil would be a low offer

It‘s just a bit of business between two clubs , it’s the fans taking it too personally and getting emotional about it.

It's not taking it personally or getting emotional about it. It's simply a pointless bid that the club will instantly dismiss, which is better for us as fans. If anything It's going to stop the club negotiating a deal and just say come back with x or don't botherIt‘s just a bit of business between two clubs , it’s the fans taking it too personally and getting emotional about it.

Of course we own clarke. We'll sell him if an offer in excess of his value comes in. Nearly any club in football does the same.
No burnley aren't a bigger than us. Not even remotely close to being so.
Man U have lost players to bigger clubs. This is how football works thickie
Come on! That is a silly comment. Almiron is a proven PL player and a regular international. Clark is neither of those things and has failed to breakthrough at PL level before. The only thing wher Clark is ahead of Almiron is age.
The reality is that a lot of fans overvalue their players based on random other transfers as points of comparison and/or he notion that all the PL clubs are all so rich that they love chucking wedges of cash at other clubs.
Burnley are probably low balling to an extent but not vastly so. I would be very surprised if Sunderland got any offer of more than £15m for Clark and it will probably be less. The club then have to decide if that is sufficient to allow him to leave.
There are people on here who think he is worth £25m + but they will be proven wrong because no-one will bid anything like that amount.

That’s true of almost every club. It’d be true of the mags if they didn’t massively overpay footballers who mostly wouldn’t get a game at elite clubs.
Then we simply decline. Pointless selling for less than that, considering he is a key player and we owe Spurs a hefty slice of any profit. Unless Jack wants to leave (highly doubtful) or we get a truly daft offer, no reason to even entertain it.
