Clarke’s pace does not match Stoke’s requirements - he won’t be coming here. All this batch of centre-halves we've been linked with seem on the slow side. Batth, the Serbian at Red Star Belgade and Lindsay are slow too. If we're looking for pace, odd these names are being mentioned.

Is it interesting that the Serbian centre half shares the same agent as Moritz Bauer, and Dusan Tadic (linked when Hughes was here)?

This stinks of the manager asking the board for one player and the "transfer team" coming up with their choice cheaper options. Exactly what is absolutely wrong at our football club. Out of interest, my view is that we don't need any one or the other, we need at least two out of three.

Jones obviously knows all about him with Portsmouth being Luton’s biggest challengers to promotion. This will be a Jones target.

Matty, You are agreeing with me, so I don't get your comment. I'm saying Jones wants Clarke and Scholes and Cartwright are coming up with Batth and Lindsay as cheaper options.

Unless the wages were silly, I’d probably stay at Pompey if I was Clarke given his affection with the fans and his up through the ranks approach

It's beginning to feel like whoever comes the effect will be short term, as the players we sign seem to sink into mediocrity within a few games.Nice to be wrong on this but it seems to be becoming a bit of a trend.

If I was an investigative journalist I'd be all over Beswicks finances and our signings. The players and agents seem to have a very cosy arrangement with Carto, Beswicks and the shit lists we constantly come up with.

I'm 100% certain there is nothing dodgy going on financially here, and I'd urge caution about posting stuff that remotely hints at that mate.

Boro local paper says there is no recall clause in Batth's season-long loan and he won't be leaving this month
However, it's understood there is no recall clause in Batth's season long loan deal at the Riverside from Wolves and the centre-half won't be leaving Boro before Thursday's deadline.

If he is available, wonder if we're interested?

Obviously things have moved on since you posted this FM. But your newspaper quote about the recall clause is irrelevant. Any loan can be terminated during a window if the player is to be sold to a third club - not to allow recall and sale would be deemed to be an unfair restraint of trade under employment law.

Very disappointed if we don't get Clarke because we think £5m is too high considering we've spent £6m on McLean, £12m on Afobe etc etc etc. Would much rather spend the extra £1.5m on Clarke than getting Batth.
However, if we're getting both then I'd be happy with that business. 1 young, 1 experienced and a statement of intent that we're serious about sorting out defence out.
