So having received the transfer request does Pressley adopt the "bomb squad" policy or keep Leon Clarke in the squad (subject to injury)?
Personally I would leave him out of the squad. I would also move him on as quick as possible subject to getting bids of course, and hope to get a couple of strikers in (not to mention a CB, and ball winner and a winger) ........ assuming FL regs permit
As soon as it was announced he had a groin strain I posted "groin strain in a transfer window? Who is he talking too?" No surprise, sell him to highest bidder.I think he left himself out of the squad !
No he won't, most of his career he's been 'unsettled' and full of attitude and achieved fuck all.
I personally don't think having mercenary cunts like him around influencing our young players is a good thing, get a decent fee for him and let him go.
Why not? Easily 25 goal a season striker, in his peak of his career, with 18 months left to run on his contract? I'd be expecting that as a minimum!
You can't blame Sisu for letting Clarke go if he choses to go. But its there fault in away, whos to say if we were playing in front of 15,000 - 20,000 at the Ricoh without a -10 point deduction, heading for the play offs??? maybe wolves wouldn't seem such a better thing??
Because this is Coventry City. How much has he gone for before? How often is he injury free?
IF he is still here for the arsenal game no way would I play him!!!
Let somebody who wants to play for us enjoy the experience!
Oh dear, it wasn't so long ago that a lot of fans were jacking off about how good clarke is, now he's the biggest wanker in the world.
Hypocrites.
I don't suppose the circus behind the scenes has helped.
Not the best of timing but thanks for the goals Leon and good luck for the future at a professionally run football club.

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.

Sorry, have to disagree with you Stu.
Just look at Clarke's history.
Started off with Wolves.
Sold to Sheff Weds for £300,000.
Two months after signing him he went out on loan to Oldham. Back to Sheff Weds and after just one goal, then went on loan to Southend.
Back to Sheffield Wednesday. One start and five substitute appearances for the rest of the season.
After a period there it was announced he would not be offered a new contract.
Signed for QPR (no fee).
Struggled there, sent on loan to Preston. Scored just one goal.
Contract terminated by mutual consent.
Signed for Swindon.
Made 2 appearances for Swindon.
Big fall out with Di Canio. Went on loan to Chesterfield.
Signed for Charlton in a swap deal. Made just one start. Contract cancelled.
Loan to Crawley.
Loan to Scunthorpe.
Signed by us.
Yep, a definite £1m player there we have.
Other clubs are able to go out and replace strikers, for the first time I can remember we did it with mcgoldrick to clarke, hopefully we can do it again.
People should realise now that the players getting the goals in the lower leagues are the ones that have had alot of money spent on them.... they are guys given a second chance or came through the ranks.
I hope Waggot can hold out on this, we normally get well and truely shafted with transfers.
It all depends on how desperately the team wanting to sign him is - wolves are still in receipt of PL parachute payments, if they want him badly enough they will have to pay for him.
