Jack Clarke

If that's what they accept for Clarke, then I dread to think what they'll take for Neil/Ballard/Hume
I think it must be the case than no one is in for these three, and they can’t fund deals themselves without selling someone, and Clarke got an offer that was the only show in town
 

If this is true it’s ridiculous, I can understand if an offer comes in too good to turn down you have to accept but selling your best player on the cheap is scandalous. We won’t sign anyone even remotely as good for that money and have no one at the club who can fill in.

2 games in and we’re in a good position but we’d just be writing off the season again

Every penny of that fee needs to be invested in the squad by bringing in players ready for the championship or things will be incredibly toxic. The club really better have a plan in place and move quickly. If they piss about an sign unknowns again I can't see them lasting long at all.
It's probably going to pay off fees of players we've brought in already knowing this lot
 
He'll have one season in the Premier League, in a dismal relegation battle which they'll lose. Hardly a step up for him, so you have to wonder who's benefiting here.
 
I’m probably in the minority here but sentiment aside, I think 20m is probably the right fee. We could have a really good sell on clause included and bank x amount more millions if he has a good season in the prem and moves on further for a big fee.
 
The clubs promotion of the new shirts told you all you needed to know. Clarke was knower to be seen.
Unfortunately we had our hopes up thinking he was signing a new contract and I don’t doubt the info from the posters was genuine. Something obviously changed drastically. Also people called it today with the sudden movement of transfer business on our end meant it looked likely Clarke was going as we were coming into some money.
