Maybe I should have gone with 17M just slightly more than we paid. |  | |  | Login to get fewer ads
Hypothetical for you on 15:51 - May 18 with 1451 views | MalcolmBlue | Why would they offer that? Yes I would as we’d have made a profit after one season at 20m. Personally I think he’ll be a good player for us next season but if there was an offer like that on the table I’d take it purely for PSR reasons |  |

He sure divides opinion but the Jack that played Coventry is what we need next year. |  | |  |

He'll be a good player for us next year, but don't think he's a prem player. |  |

Hypothetical for you on 15:53 - May 18 with 1403 views | Trequartista | Down to the player really. It's good value. If he really wants to go back I don't think you'll get so much out of an unhappy player, if he wants to stay ask for £25m |  |

Because we don’t have to sell so shouldn’t be making a loss. And from a Sunderland perspective, he’s a god, we have been playing him out of position, he never wanted to come, we know how to get the best out of him. Or so they say. |  | |  |

Even more reason for us to sell him then if we make profit. McKenna isn’t going to adapt the way we play to suit one player. He was bought because our pursuit of Philogene was unsuccessful. He was always a square peg in a round hole. Profit plus 20m towards our PSR…seems like a bit of a no brainer to me. Edit - this isn’t to say that I think he’s a bad player (personally I don’t and I think he’d be good next season in the champ, but 20m in PSR could be valuable in helping us improve our squad) [Post edited 18 May 16:01]

Hypothetical for you on 16:00 - May 18 with 1254 views | Herbivore | I'd take it. We've got Philogene and Broadhead who can both play in his position and I don't think he's necessarily much better than either, we could reinvest the money in other priority areas. There's a player in there for sure but it's not worked out so far. |  |

He's played 20 games this season..... He may do well next year but he's mile off Prem, and that's why he bought him. |  |

Hypothetical for you on 16:03 - May 18 with 1209 views | baxterbasics | We saw how he can do the biz in the Championship when we played Cov in the cup. Unless we're making some serious profit, or he really wants to go, we should hang onto Clarke. |  |

Hypothetical for you on 16:14 - May 18 with 1113 views | BloomBlue | I've felt sorry for him this season as he has been unlucky but he looks out of his depth in the PL. Not being physically strong doesn't help but no defender likes a player running at them. I thought his ability to dribble with the ball would still cause problems, but for some reason he seems incapable of dribbling with the ball. |  | |  |

He doesn't think fast enough and isn't physical so ends up just dribbling in to cul de sacs and bouncing off defenders. |  |

He might have played 20 matches but only 8 starts in the league. He has started 3 matches in a row once and 2 consecutive matches on only one other occasion. I would say he is the very definition of not getting a run in the side. But the issue is that very few of our attacking players have had for numerous reasons and it shows in the lack of partnerships built. |  |

I think your talent should be there when it's given a chance. You don't get 20 trials or 20 games where a scout is there. You have to take your chance and Clarke has emphatically wasted every chance. [Post edited 18 May 16:49]
