Jack Clarke 21:00 - Aug 26 with 5150 viewsottovonbismark

I've read 'online' that Jack Clarke is now linked with Boro and West Ham on a permanent deal. He's been great for us and would command a decent fee. It would be sad to see him leave, especially as Philogene has shown less commitment to the cause yet remains with Town.

I asked the OP a really reasonable question. Blue Funk decided to jump in on that and accuse me of being 'superior'. Now I'm being told I'm argumentative, and yet Phil has never left me with a flashing red box.

I don't for one second imagine that if BF had called you 'superior' you would just go, "yeah alright I was' and back down. And honestly I've gotten a bit fed up with going to post stuff on here and then deleting it incase someone doesn't like it, yet everyone else seems to with impunity.


Just as a side note, I played for Cheltenham back in the day. They were non league then. The second side I look for after us of course.

Doesn't he have a history of sore throats every transfer window in case there is another sign on fee vaguely possible?

Him and his agent are pretty shameless.


I don't want to be argumentative about it, so I'll stay out of it now.

I think JC has more about him than JP. I would keep JC and tell WHU and Wolves they can have JP if they so wish.

Please don't take this the wrong way, but you seem quite argumentative lately. We are in the PL, a time to be happy.


In purely footballing terms Philogene is a much better player than Clarke.

Clarke can be dangerous but it's broadly a passenger without the ball and give it away so cheaply. But still I enjoy having Clarke for his good qualities and the goals.

There was something in him interested in a move. That makes me uneasy. But I would play Philogene ove Clarke every time. Clarke may well be pushing for this move to be honest as a little odd.

I would suggest every player has their price. Quite whether those Championship clubs are willing to pay the price we would accept and offer him a better deal than he is on here is another question. I don't see why we would be keen to sell nor why he would be keen to take that step down.

His agent literally paid for an advertisement to be put up by one of the most watched transfer commentators saying he was ready to leave Ipswich this summer.

Whilst you cannot blame the player for these actions without proof it was his call, you also cannot blame fans to decide from this and his history of moving clubs that his heart may not be in it.

Equally I doubt many of our squad are here because their heart is in it and that is just reality of club and player side of transfers. See how Hirst was shown the door over Akpom. It is therefore harsh to single our criticism towards Philogene.

Its not my call but I think JC should be given his chance over JP given he is the better impact substitute and for me shows more hunger. Also given his versatility with both feet I really do struggle to understand as a layman why Philogene cannot be played on the right.

O'Neil has done so at the one opportunity, starting Clarke over Philogene in the one matchday squad he has been in, and strikes me as the type who wouldn't be impressed by players hijinks.

Yes but JP was not available to be fair and this post is about JC being sold.

I hope it stays that way and both also stay given season has started. Imagine after Wolves GON has been somewhat put off player hijinks for life.

I know previous cameos have not been as wished for but it would be really great if one of the two of them starts to magically play as well on the right.

Given he's played there for England U21 and as previously posted above with his shooting feet versatility, shirley Jaden the one who is more able to move over to that side successfully. He played on the right for Hull as well didn't he? I know Prem is a different cuttle of fish.

Philogene was never going to start when returning from injury.

Clarke has been on good form so deserves his place.

O'Neil will recognise the difference between form and the normal level a player is at. Continued good form is a sign of an improvement in level, though.

Right now there must be little between the two of them both of whom are Premier League squad level. We want Premier League squad players so why would we be looking to move either on. On that basis we would need an offer above their basic value to turn our heads.

Why on earth would he want to drop to the Championship, when he's going to be regularly playing Prem football at Ipswich?

And why would Town be so in need of the fee that we are willing to sell a player of his calibre?

Explain how Philogene has "shown less commitment to the cause"?
[Post edited 26 Aug 21:02]


Plus the fact his injury record doesn't make the greatest of reading and he turns up for away games about once every 3 months. All a shame really as we know what he can do when " on it ".

Not to mention his injury record here isnt great,
Clarke when was he injured,
Also our top scorer last year and had limited game time till philly got oh injured,
He's a talent philly to lightweight injury prone I'd keep clarke,
But I can see him going as the club probably wanted to release one only if a decent offer came in, well that's out of the window with philogene isn't it,


You know what the club wanted to do- how?

Oh, please leave off the superiority, if Philogene was committed, the first time his agent came out with that story, he’d have told him to stop.


Why? Nothing has come from the club so why should he police social media

Show me how you know his agent came out with that story, as opposed to seeing something Romano put out and putting two and two together.

Happy to wait.


The same Romano we believe when he says anything about Palacios???

He wanted a move 100%. lightweight, slow, can’t assist, injury prone. Get rid!!!!

This was discussed the other day as well, I can't see it unless we need to offload to make the books balance. A fee of 25m+ would basically pretty much guarantee Wolves, West Ham Boro or whoever has that much cash the best player at Championship level.

We want him to stay, he looks bang up for it.

More than 50% of your recent posting history is essentially having a go at Philogene. It's a lot of posts and it's very weird.

I find it very hard to understand why you would want to sell someone who was amongst your leading goalscorers last season and has already given us the win against Sunderland and laid on the first against Leicester. Yes we have Philogene but he has proved fragile and it could be argued not as consistent as Clarke.
Unless GON believes other areas need more strengthening, perhaps central defence and another centre forward and we need the funds.
With Palacios coming in at around 32 million euro's with add ons perhaps we are pushing towards the limit and a fee of £20 million or more would add to the coffers.

I assume the only reason we'd entertain something like this is if Billy Jean and Maeda are clear favourites for the left and we need to balance numbers in positions.

And the only reason Jack would entertain it is because he knows he's most likely going to be a sub all season and would rather be a bigger fish in a smaller pond.

Or balancing the books.

"Lightweight, slow, can't assist, injury prone". That's a ridiculously pessimistic view of one of our most talented and invaluable players last season.
