That's a really good price. Only 18, pretty versatile, English, really looks to have bags of skill and potential. Pretty much what we should try to do at least once or twice every window.
I agree with you - but every other club bar City are looking to do the same.That's a really good price. Only 18, pretty versatile, English, really looks to have bags of skill and potential. Pretty much what we should try to do at least once or twice every window.
About 169 milesSeems like things are progressing. Would be good to know how close we are on Clarke.
With 14m in past 6 years, we got experienced prod like Lloris, Eriksen, Jan, Toby, Wanyama, and a few more.
Its just crazy that now we are having to pay 14m for a Championship youngster who started just 4 league games last season.
Market is so inflated nowadays, we would say 14m for Clarke a bargain signing...
Anyway, we need home growns in squad. Considering the talent he has, he could be a very good signing for the future
It is especially strange when you hear us being quoted around 25m for Ryan Sessegnon. Only a year older, tons more experience (Both in the Championship and EPL) and generally much more production.
This is where you're on top form.About 169 miles
3 of those players you're going back at least 5/6 years and all but 1 are defensive players.With 14m in past 6 years, we got experienced prod like Lloris, Eriksen, Jan, Toby, Wanyama, and a few more.

With the strong ITK reports of Clarke being v.close. Anyone else considered that it may be Clarke instead of Sessengon? Similar position but cheaper, freeing up funds to be in a better position to secure our main 2 targets?
14m for a top English 18 year old is the kind of deal we should be completing for fun - the Ndombele, Lo Celso deals are definitely needed too but those will never be the regular deals for us. We will always need to be clever and I'd be very optimistic about the long term future if we got deals like Clarke and Sessegnon done this summer.

No. Remember it's a double deal inc his brother, which will take as long as it takes. Herc has previously said we are targeting 2 teenagers to push into 1st team squad.
