G-Ram Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 Sign Clarke for a smaller fee with a ln add on of a further payment if we go up?♂️ Everyone is a winner... Apart from Brighton if we don't ever go up ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambitious Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 Clarke is an easy one if we want to get it done. £3.5m and the same wages. Who says no? Brighton make a little profit out of him for sending him out on loan and then recouping their fee. Clarke doesn’t take a pay cut. We sign Keogh’s replacement and can focus on other areas. It’s a proven entity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not sure how we can pay a transfer fee to anyone if we have very little income Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not sure how we can pay a transfer fee to anyone if we have very little income I think it was £3.5m guaranteed (upfront), but you make a good point. Brighton are asking between £40-50m for Ben White apparently, so I doubt Leeds will make that happen. I just think that Brighton have a lot of bodies there so Clarke will be available, no two ways about it. I guess unless something changes then it won’t be to us.

RamNut Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 Swap Clarke for Lawrence. only thing is Clarke is obviously not 23 as advertised. Got to be 33. Maybe 43? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clarke is actually pretty good with the ball at his feet, but I just can't see Lawrence at central defence! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MackworthRamIsGod Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 It would be a shame if we couldnt afford Clarke, assuming we arent being quoted very high. Clarke would be a genuine investment, if we were to make it to the Prem, his value would rocket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus it’s no coincidence our season bombed when he could not play. We only lost four games all season when he started. We lost as many in the last few games he didn’t play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gccrowdpleaser Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 I think the arrival at Brighton will make this harder for us. They may well look to sell and I feel our only hope of bringing him back is on loan. Can see him going to Norwich or Bournemouth where there is some money rather than to us. Which is a shame.

rammieib Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 Will another season for Clarke on loan enhance his value - more than likely yes in all reality plus there is less money currently in the market place. So for Brighton you can only see two genuine possibilities: 1) Loan him out in order to A) Turn him into a star or B) Enhance his value. They need to decide if Derby is the right option. 2) They genuinely see him as part of their squad for this season. If they intend to bring White back, plus the new signing, you'd have to think this is doubtful with Dunk, Duffy and one other whose name escapes me. Got to think we stand a good chance of bringing him back now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hintonsboots Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 Can the Mods edit the thread title ? Every time I open it I think he’s signed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rampant Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 Brighton have just signed a RB/CB from Ajax so I suppose that may increase the chances of Clarke going out on loan or transferring elsewhere a bit more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nottingram Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 Trouble is Brighton regularly switch formation between 3 and 4 at the back where the left sided centre back is comfortable at left back. This means they have to be a left footer. As far as I know only Dan Burn fits this at the moment, Clarke would as well. All their others, including Veltman, are right footed. Hope I’m wrong and we do get him back but in a way he is competing for a different role in the team to Dunk, Duffy, White et al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rab a dab doo Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 If he was deemed surplus to requirements last season. They have now signed/re-resigned to two more centre half's one a U23 international promotion winner and another a full international title winner in Holland. One would rightly assume (barring a large number of injury's) he would be lucky to get anywhere near their squad. They must feel that he is not quite a premiership player. We could get him back on loan with an option or right to buy to decent price in today's market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could get him back on loan with an option or right to buy to decent price in today's market. It’s my personal opinion but he hasn’t looked good enough for the premiership so far so I can’t see him playing there for Brighton with what they have at their disposal currently. Could we get him on loan? Maybe but premiership clubs want large amounts of money for loans and usually wages as well, is it worth us signing someone who we can develop for us? Maybe, what we need to remember is that there is hardly any money coming through the door due to the pandemic and a very poor TV deal and all the current staff need paying, we would need to sell and sell well if we are to buy/ loan anyone probably and we don’t want the youngsters to go but they are the ones that would fetch the best fees.

Derby blood Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 Good news I hear on the Clarke front, a Brighton fan has told me, he will be signing on a season long loan, in 2 weeks time. If true that's our centre back pairing sorted , need a winger, a forward and left back now. And a goal keeper as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
