Clarke is the cost of not achieving promotion

[DonaldDownTheWing]

I’m not casting any kind of opinion on the situation, purely passing on what I’ve been told.

Clarke has been offered contacts by Brentford, Leeds & palace. One is worth £60k a week.

Can’t begrudge the lad and as long as we get a decent fee it’ll fund the next generation.

Source is his dad, who we spoke to after the home playoff leg.

 

[TartanMackem]

I imagine we might lose one or two of them. But we should be in a position to hold out for decent fees.

 

[Krusty up front]

Meh

Leeds will be playing in our league

 

[woodlebert]

How much is the bid?

 

[billybobmackem2312]

Be gutted to lose the lad but that’s the model.

 

[Watmore can I say]

All part of the project, hopefully we offer him an improved contract and keep him.

 

[Sunderland06]

Bidding starts at 20 mil

 

[Ghfd]

Offering contracts is absolutely an example of an illegal approach

I expect he will be playing at the Sol again next season

 

[redflagflyinghigh]

Lose Clarke and it's a mid table finish for us next season

 

[Popeye]

Fairy nuff. We know money talks and that loyalty either from players or clubs is more the exception than the norm.

However, I can’t really see him being a regular at Brentford and are either Leeds or Palace a better prospect than a further season at Sunderland?

 

[Bg86]

60k a week is mental

 

[The Situation]

Inevitable that we'll lose one or two this summer.

A strange situation for us where other clubs will actually want our players!

Clarke and obviously Diallo going would be a huge amount of production to replace mind. You're talking 25 goals and 15 odd assists from those two alone.

There's been plenty of links about Palace in recent weeks so there's obviously something in it.

 

[SAFC 2012]

Be gutted to lose the lad but that’s the model.

The fans will soon get sick of the model once we replace one or two of our top players with a complete dud

 

[squidly diddly]

Strange, team’s offering contracts with no bid thrown in… whilst reported we’re offering him a new contract, hmmm the shite hawks have took flight earlier than expected.

Is Michut staying too!

He’s the one player I wouldn’t want to lose but hey ho.

£30m starting bid then we talk…

 

[pork pie]

If it happens so be it. As long as we reinvest in the right sort of player, which I have faith in the current regime doing.

No player is bigger than any club, no matter who it is.

Doesn't really matter what contract he has been offered, they have agree a fee with the club first

£20 million? Double it. Gibbs White went for £40 million

 

[AndrewP]

How do you know it was his dad and not some random talking shite?
