So we would want a cheap player that is half decent. So do a lot of other clubs. Who do you think a player would chose between us and most other clubs?

Nahki Wells went to 'Uddersfield for £1.3m. That's a good yard stick in my opinion,

I reckon Clarke's pissed off losing his partner Wilson and in a recent interview he sounded narked at the defence constantly letting in soft goals undermining the hard work him and Wilson were doing up front.He is a journeyman and never stays at a club long,but we will obviously miss him as strikers are hard to come by these days.

Name all these strikers we can sign for free that are available and will score as many as Clarke then.

Think deep down everyone knew this would happen given the amount of clubs he's played for, 16 or so since 2003? His loyalty is poor and our club doesn't even play in its own city. It does look like we will miss the play offs as a result this season which is a shame but it was never signed and sealed anyway with such a small squad. He is not Ronaldo and is therefore replaceable.

Remember when the world would end if Juke left? Remember when the world would end if McGoldrick left? The world won't end of Clarke leaves. We'll have another hero soon enough. Shame, but if he wants to go then he wants to go. I'm surprised, I must say.

I am not saying Wolves' logic is wrong or going for Leon isn't expected however people saying "Leon could be leaving because we are playing at Sixfields" or because we are playing in front of 20 fans every home game, or because Tim Fisher has a dog is completely irrelevant, he wants to go for his own sake which I can appreciate, but some people saying it's the owners fault or because it's where we are is utter rubbish.

To be fair, we got Clarke for free and I wasn't expecting much from him. There were no guarantees when he signed he'd do the business, just like with any player.
Rumours are he's off to Leicester.....

I'm sure there is a hidden gem out there. Yesterday we scored 2 goals without a recognised striker in the side. It isn't scoring that concerns me - it's finding a plug that's big enough to seal the huge goal conceding hole at the back.

"Journey man lower league striker opts to jump ship for the umpteenth time in his under-achieving career"
Just cash in now before he turns to shit.....which he will from now on anyhow...
....anything upwards of £500K is good business I reckon.
Bye Leon. Thanks. Enjoy the short time at your next club....and your next one....and your next one...

I forgot that there was plenty of strikers going for free that will be the top scorer in division 3.
We knew how good he would be at this level. We saw how well he was doing with Scunthorpe. We saw how he did against us for them. We managed to get him because of his past.
So go on Grendull, name all these strikers similar to him that we can get for free.

Just to throw an unsubstantiated rumour onto the pile.
Maybe he didn't want to take the pay cut that's been rumoured so he wants out?
His previous form is at clubs where he wasn't settled before he went. Not sure he's done this (request out of the blue) before normally he leaves after a period of not playing/being loaned out. I can't find any evidence of previous transfer requests.

People were saying the same when Thorn left that we couldn't get anybody else / better. Not wishing to start a Thorn row, but there are always alternatives. How much did we pay for Clarke again?

Takes one chance in five. Not good enough at any other club as he wont get as many chances as he does for us. Plus if he goes to a "bigger" club probably will be coming off the bench.
I truly hope wherever he goes they sack the manager and DiCanio gets the job

Yesterday's game was dreadful .. Apart from the first fifteen minutes .. There was quite a lot of hoof ball yesterday .. And I sat there when we were 2-0 up and thought how have we done that .. .. If Clarke does leave and we don't get replacement .. We are definitely in a relegation battle

Ha Ha....I forgot he was at Swindon.....until Mr. "Perfect" Paulo called him unprofessional.......yes Mr. Di Canio....& you're the very definition of professional aren't you eh!

Because I bet you a fair sum that Clarke is the type who will simply sulk, or be shit, or both, until he's allowed to leave or his contract runs down.
...He wants to go.....so sell the fella & move on.
He may well sulk or he might just get on with his job of scoring goals and get his move in the summer.

Exactly
Then sell him in the summer even if we get promoted and he wants to stay.
He is not good enough for the championship and it will show a stance.
He won't sulk it is in his own financial interest to bang in 30 goals.

True....I guess we'll never know anyway as this is an easy player sale in terms of PR for Sisu......they can cash in & blame the player....
..Bye Leon.

You are so unbelievable sometimes Nick. Someone says something about SISUE and you have a go about them having a go at them all the time. Why can't we drop it and all that sort of thing. Then you bring up Thorn when we have had a few in charge since him.
And as I said we knew how good Clarke was in this division . Everybody knew as he had been doing it for Scunny. Everyone knew he was available. So what is this list of strikers going for free that we all know about and all know is available?

And there's no guarantee that anyone will come in for him anyway. Hopefully, Waggott is true to his word and will only let him leave if it suits us.

What difference would it make to sell him for peanuts when the alternative is a possibility of playoffs. Sisue certainly are not going to make any money from staying in L1 in the short term so a push for playoffs has to be the target.
So ... unless there is a replacement lined up, I cannot see him leaving until the summer. With the Arsenal game around the corner I am sure he will be trying against PNE or else he won't be playing ... simples.

Where did I say anything about SISU? I brought Thorn up because when he was here there was "never anybody else who would come to us" which is the same as "we won't be able to get anybody else".
I am not sure why that is unbelievable or even related to SISU?

Clarke will go on a mega sulk. He is clearly a difficult character - that's why he is where he is
If players want to leave 99 times out of 100 they get their own way.
