Jack Clarke


So let me get this right.

Clarke has agreed to a two year extension if he’s still here after the deadline? So once the deadline shuts, he signs it regardless of whether Harte is happy to do so?

So now Harte is doing his utmost to get someone to bid high enough for Clarke for us to consider cashing in, feeding lines to the press that Clarke would be interested in a move away?

Is that right?

If Clarkes best option is Leeds, then it’s a bit of a kick in the plums for him.

If the end goal is playing in the PL, for PL money, then Leeds is a gamble. Arguably more of a gamble than playing this season for us and seeing what January or next summer brings.

He’s the main man here and the team is set up to his strengths.

At the minute I think it’s agent playing silly beggars. I’m more more worried about a PL getting off to a stinker and stumping up the cash on deadline day.

Like Southampton.

Hopefully he’s still here after window as he’s quality.

I don’t get the logic from Leeds either. As good as he is, they would have to pay a fortune and they’ve got Gnonto who can now play on the left after Summerville has left.

Feels like a signing to get the fans on side. Imagine selling your best players for over £100m and bringing in Ryan Kent or something.
 
Let me think... agents make money on moves? Gosh, I wonder what will happen?

Or is Jack more independent minded?

Bit of red n white tinted glass on my part admittedly. But if money is all he cares about he can get a thick slice of cheese playing in the Saudi 2nd tier.

Given Leeds have sold their best players and we have a good core of young and hungry players, I find it hard to believe you'd leave SAFC and go to Leeds for football reasons

Its a lot harder visiting family and friends from Saudi mate, I agree though is would be a sideways step for him

It would be Interesting to know how Clarke would feel if the club rejected say a £25M bid from a PL team.

Fine probably. Seems to enjoy his football here and if he's not sold & doesn't sign a new contract all cards are in his hands. He loses ~£15m value in the next 12 months so can always sign for someone cheaper then (probably for a higher wage than if he goes now).
