et tu brute Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 1 hour ago, TheBrownBottle said: Almost, but not quite. Football is lopsided and broken because of the PL, etc etc. Yep, I agree. But then he adds this: 'I genuinely would have been gutted after Saturday 10 years ago, but I shrugged, & put the Xmas Dec's in the garage' So in 2014 he'd have been gutted. The PL breakaway occurred 22 years before this, but somehow he missed that the 1992 breakaway was also about unfettered greed. It is only now that football is broken. Aye, alright Exile, you massive weapon The fucking lunatic has conducted an almost daily crusade about the takeover since it occurred. Has he put his white flag up because no fucker was interested in his rabid rants. I'm still convinced he was never a mackem fan in the first place and was just using their forum to get attention with his mad ramblings, the daft twat.

Optimistic Nut Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 (edited) I remember Hull were doing well in the Championship a few seasons ago pushing the Play-Offs, sold Bowen to West Ham, stayed up by the skin of their teeth. I doubt they'd collapse to that level but their promotion hopes might go if they sell Clarke. Scrap that, I mis-remembered, they went down bottom of the league.

TeddySAFC Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 10 hours ago, TheBrownBottle said: Clarke is 24 this year - he's not that young; in fact he's approaching his prime - and still hasn't played a minute of top flight football, despite Spurs previously paying an eight-figure sum for him. The lad might end up doing well in the PL, but he'd still be a punt. I don't see anyone paying 20m+ for him. Tonali is an Italian international who was playing in a CL semi final for them last year; Botman is a Dutch international CB who was also being chased by Maldini at AC; Gordon was subject to a 60m offer from Chelsea in 2022, and was player of the tournament at the U-21 Euros. Jack Clarke has done well in the English second division. There is a difference. And i haven't once disputed that Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeddySAFC Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 18 hours ago, Sima said: Because they're levels above what Jack Clarke is? Yes, Hence why they are playing for a team in the CL. Jack Clarke isn't that level, but I think he will be fine for a lower end PL side. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re right, I can easily see a Burnley or a Forest buying him - particularly as he’d be risk-free for a relegation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A year ago he said something along the lines of about half a dozen of their young uns would be playing or be comfortable playing in the Premier League. We are now down to Jack Clarke "possibly" going to Burnley. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are now down to Jack Clarke "possibly" going to Burnley. There’s not a chance a decent PL club takes a gamble on Clarke - and he’d be worth £15-20m at an absolute push. I suspect that the Mackems would accept a bid for less than that if it came in. That would power the stadium generator for yonks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re right, I can easily see a Burnley or a Forest buying him - particularly as he’d be risk-free for a relegation. I said from the start he's not worth 30M, I think he's worth about 15-20M. I used the likes of Tonali / Gordon / Botman fees as an example because they went for double if not more than what he's worth, evidencing the fact they are better players than him at a similar age.

FWIW - Clarke is being heavily linked to West Ham, a team currently 6th. Edited January 10 by TeddySAFC Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tripper who's struggled against it over the last month or so had an easy time keeping Clarke in his pocket. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'd be signed as backup, with hope he can stand in for injuries, he's certainly not a starter in that team, or any at PL level. Think Ballard has a higher ceiling and probably the one who'll make it at top level. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
