Can slap a transfer request in though That would cost the player,and his agent, money. Very often offset by the buying club as a signing on fee.

I hope we'd rather pay Β£4-5M for him than Batth if we're only going for one new defender, we're crying out for PACE!

Reckon weβd have to pay something like Β£8-10m to get him. We can afford it, especially if heβs as good as his reputation suggests.

If the alternative is Danny Batth, it is probably worth paying a bit of a premium.

Clarke would be a Stellar buy & should be exactly the right type we should be targeting. I imagine Jones and his team would have seen slot of him.

It's about time we had a potential Harry Maguire on our hands.

We need to get Clarke. Invariably when we go cheap (Martina) it backfires.

Pay it stoke, better than paying god knows how much in transfer fees and wages to someone over the hill. Potential decade player for the club there

4-5M, at a guess, would be on the low side.
Put yourself in their shoes. Club captain, young, English, club and player on the fringes of the Championship, made over 100 appearances.
If that was us we'd be screaming 7-10M.

Clarke from all that has been read & said about him strikes me as a potential Shawcross mark 2. That alone should alone make a Β£6-10 million signing seem like a no brainer..He is exactly the type of player we must be targeting in the future..

It does if you've already spent 40 odd mil, we're wealthy enough but you do have to be realistic and keep one eye on FFP, given we aren't able to get rid of our high earning wasters it would be understandable if we reigned it in a little.

Wonder what the latest progress is on young Ryan Sweeney. Isnβt he on loan at Mansfield Town? He had a couple of decent seasons at Bristol Rovers who were interested in a permanent move at one point.

Villa want 7 mill we offer 5 and let him have a couple of weeks to mull it over, only difference is this guys is serious potential and young, GET IT DONE STOKE !!!!

I was with a Pompey season ticket holder this afternoon and he said he is always MOM and rates him, but when I mentioned about us after him he was gobsmacked and had not heard anything about it.

If Portsmouth were mid-table I'd agree. But in their position I'd be doing everything possible to get promoted. Losing your best players isn't the way to do that, particularly when it's so tight at the top of League 1. Losing your best players when itβs tight at the top of league 1 would be as mad as losing your manager when you were second in league 1. We sold the best player in the world when we were poised to become Champions of England.

We paid Man Utd Β£1+million pounds for Shawcross over ten years ago, and so with inflation plus Clarke is a experienced player and also captain of a promotion chasing team, Β£10 million sounds pretty reasonable.
