Because even though he's scoring goals at this level let's face it the bloke can't trap a wet bag of sand and is nowhere near good enough for the championship. There's a big gulf in class between league 1 and the championship in my opinion. I'm not sure why people are surprised about his transfer request though, 13 clubs at the age of 28 says it all. He's just another mercenary clocking up the signing on fees. I put money on him moving to wolves then moving on again next jan
Players come, players go. If he wants to go, let him! No point keeping a player who's heart is elsewhere. If we can get a decent wedge for him and hopefully use that to replace him we'll do just fine, maybe better. Thanks for the goals Leon, hope the bench is warm at Wolves for next season!!!
He is a club hoar. I can see why he would want to, they are going up and he will get more money and we all know there is no loyality anymore. How about a straight swap with Kevin Doyle?
1 million for Clarke no way. This is a strikers division. Clarke scores a lot but misses a lot also. This is his level. He is not a top Championship striker.
Have you not seen Clarke play in a sulk? Has been very lazy in his early career!Just tell him no unless we have some one else lined up.
Too be honest we are already short so we need 2 maybe 3 if we think we can challenge for promotion.
Yes, no point keeping Suarez was there either.
He's under contract so tell him no.
If we get a million for him I'd take that we could go and replace him for that.
Wells went for over a £1m, Rhodes went for what £6-7m, Southampton paid £1.5m for Lambert and £1m for Bernard, west ham paid £2.5m For Baldock, palace paid £4.7m for Gayle.

A fair point, but I fear if we do force him to stay any negativity he has would rub off on others, wouldn't take long for the form of others to be affected!!!Yes, no point keeping Suarez was there either.

Rob how much of a million would sisu reinvest?
£50,000?

I suppose we find out now if SISU
Really did learn the lesson they claim to have.
Top scorer n league one
28 so still at his prime in contract.
We were told it would have to be a ridiculous offer.
I don't buy that you can't keep an unhappy player.
If e don't get a ridiculous offer Cov can say no.
They can say to Leon they Weill sell him in 5 months time if we are not promoted.
It is then down to Clarke keep doing what he is doing to get the best move in the summer.
There would be absolutely no benefit to him to drop his form.
So for me SISU need to consider the cost if missing out on promotion.
They will still get good buds for Leon in the summer possibly more.
What happens is that his agent has probably gone around clubs offering Clarke. Clarke finds out there's a club that interests him and can offer double his wages and then he slaps a transfer request in.
It's the way footy is now. Players aren't loyal to a cause. They want there next big pay day.
You can't blame Sisu for letting Clarke go
Offer Kevin phillips a 6 month contract. Him and wilson would be lethal.
Do you really want Leon Clarke playing for us anymore? Let him rot
Lethal for us? One injured and the other unfit at best.
Yes I do
He will get on with it and score goals.
If at work another department doing better than ours told me we can double your wages if you come here and do the sane job.
I would fancy it and so would 99% of people.
I just hope SISU realise the pay off may actually be a deficit if it costs us promotion and they can say no.
