Did think as much considering none of the reports said Sunderland had rejected the bid outright. |  |

Mates with Kalvin Phillips and Leif Davis from their time at Leeds. As Kalvin said after joining, I'm sure that will be helping in persuading Clarke to join the rocket ship. |  | | |

Where does 'advanced talks' stand in relation to 'imminent'? |  |

Yep. And McKenna is an enormous draw for any young player looking to really kick on in their career. The word spreads. I know it is obvious, but him staying is so big for us this season that you really can't even begin to quantify it. | | | |

Going all 'ArnieM' for a minute Arnie, if I am being greedy, I'd love another CB through the door! |  |

This from Sunderland forum (allegedly legit poster):
"Mate of mine knows Ian Harte well
He says Ipswich had a medical booked for JC last night but he decided he didn’t want to go, he says there is a good chance he will sign a new contract with us"
Harte is Clarke's agent, I believe? I hope that's just a poster who's hit the "cope" stage of grieving a player's loss. | | | |

Still not forgiven for getting Stewie sent off. |  |

I can’t believe we’d make formal bids etc if we didn’t have word from his camp he was keen on the move. |  |

Indeed - if you know, you know!
If he can convince Clarke to come down here, all will be forgiven, just! | | | |

Medical booked last night? We’d only made our bid last night.
Codswallop I reckon. | |

I guess you could say it was only 'public' that we'd made our bid last night.
I dunno, I hope he wasn't put off by his last move down south (Spurs) and that Leif and Kalvin can convince him to come. Mind you, if he needs too much convincing he's a fool IMO. | | | |

Doubt that very much - he’d have said as much weeks ago and suspect Sunderland actually wouldn’t mind selling.
Players don’t often get multiple shots at the PL and this is his lifeline. | | | |

Unless, for whatever reason, he's had a sudden change of heart. I think Sunderland have been trying to convince him to stay. | |

Another 'legit' poster:
"Its all a bit of a mess by all accounts. So....
An improved contract at Sunderland has been verbally agreed, but not actually signed yet. Harte is advising JC to hang fire until we see what happens at the end of the window.
Jack is still more than happy here, he loves being at SAFC and would never force a move, but also wants to play in the PL and ideally would love it be with us.
I'd mentioned before that we'd turned down bids from Ipswich earlier in the summer, and they've come back with another (slightly) higher offer, but J isnt interested in going there.
The Leeds stuff was rubbish." | | | |

I struggle with the idea that we have made 2 offers, knowing full well he doesn't want to come here. |  |

We aren't in advanced talks at this stage of the window over a move for a player that isn't interested in moving here. Simple as that. | | | |

Yeah, I agree. I'm hoping this is all defence mechanism stuff from their fans.
The fact they've started the season well is slightly annoying, as he may feel he's got a chance of leading Sunderland up this season if they maintain current form. | | | |

You think that Sam Morsy or Leif Davis really wanted to come here initially? |  | | |

Certainly would've been more optimistic of him coming had Beale still been there. He seems happy enough at Sunderland from the outside and they look to be a strong outfit this year, albeit only 2 games have gone. A potentially full SOL in the Prem is going to be an exciting prospect to a player who seems fairly settled. |  |

I think Phil said that we hadn't made a previous offer so there's opposing views right there. | |
