Jack Clarke

[Drexl]

Always expected him to go but my goodness, that is a criminal fee. And Michael Walker will be spot on. Indeed, his tweet was as good as written by his source at the club.

Oh, he’s got previous?

Does seem bizarre someone trying to pretend that’s a good deal for us. It’s truly awful.

I’m wondering if they’ve identified Isidor and now that they’re confident they can get him over the line that they think now is the time to cash in on Clarke.

It seems it’s a sell to buy in place now at the club. Almost think speakeasy might be doing a decent job if he’s hands are tied so much with actual money to spend.

 

[poisson]

hasnt other PL clubs offered £15m already which was refused? So why 6 weeks down the line are we looking an Ipswich bid of around the same?

Exactly. It's Harte spouting

 

[dred73]

£25m plus or they can do one.

Your right. £6m of that for Spurs.

Isidor is a loan.

The manager has just said in his press conference they're looking at replacements for Clarke incase he leaves

Simic will cost a few quid too

 

[Cuban Pete]

15 + 5 is not a reasonable deal. When Clarke proves to be a massive success in the premier league we will look like absolute mugs if we’ve sold for that fee

Especially if the +5 is dependent on Ipswich staying up.

 

[poisson]

Short scented lots if money, badly advised unfortunately

It's Shorts fault where we are now.

He's an impeccable sources as far as journos go. I imagine he will have got the info on the proviso he tries to paint it in a positive light.

 

[Alfa]

If anyone thinks that's a reasonable fee they need their head looking at

True. Like Man City accepting a derisory fee for Phil Foden. Didn’t cost them anything to buy so they should be happy with what they get for him.

We shouldn’t be accepting £15 + add ons for Clarke imo

 

[niallquinnsdisco]

What on earth has what we paid for him got anything to do with it?

Yes, a stupid comment. There's no ceiling on the profit as club can make. Bizarre.

 

[Niz]

Which is one of the reasons they'll be desperate to sell before his value drops.

How many clubs have gone this summer without spending a penny in fees?

The club has never been desperate to sell, so why will we start now?

 

[Major]

People thought the club would let him run his deal down

They're absolutely skint man and terrified his price drops 5m.

Joke scenario after a good few weeks. Never lasts.

I'm not sure anyone thought they'd let his deal run down, and we've not sold him for the quoted price yet. We could just wait until whatever happens, happens and then judge?

 

[Rivet Catcher]

Your right. £6m of that for Spurs.

I’d want £30m, how much did Somerville go for?

 

[Mackemansj1]

It's Shorts fault where we are now.

Some will be spouting that and the grigg signing in fifty years time man. They do some strange mental gymnastics to defend the owners.

 

[DonaldDownTheWing]

Simic will cost a few quid too

Yeah, this is the model. Sell one player high and then recruit 2 or 3 who could potentially get there one day.

But they’re going to have to recruit very very well.

 

[Mowgli]

The club has never been desperate to sell, so why will we start now?

If they accept 15m then they clearly are.

 

[billybobmackem2312]

I’d want £30m, how much did Somerville go for?

35m I think. And that Leeds lad has went for 40m

 

[Niz]

If they accept 15m then they clearly are.

'If', but when it comes to selling there is no evidence we do it for the sake of making money.

 

[Balboa]

Which is one of the reasons they'll be desperate to sell before his value drops.

Like they were with Stewart? Stop crying on man.

So, we are only the side not spend a fee yet.. However, 11 Teams have received more in Fees than they've spent and of those who have spent more than they've received only 2 have spent over £5m total...

Would you feel more comfortable if we'd brought Alan Browne in for £4m?
