£750k for Leon Clarke (3 Viewers)

skybluebeduff · Jan 30, 2014

That is what BBC Sport has reported it to be...

I think we holded out for £1mill but due to the mardy gob shites attitude we sold below our estimated value of him.

What time does the deadline close tomorrow? And do you think we'll sign a striker or get on in on loan?

No, Steve Waggott's trying desperately to get someone through the door but it's fucking locked

Good price for a player in league 1 going to another league 1 side.

More of a field than a door... An empty field...."welcome to Coventry City" but please meet us in Northampton for contract talks...

Agreed considering what Le Fondre went for a couple of seasons ago.

£750K is a great price.

Clarke cost us nothing except his wage, scored us loads of goals & we still made a handsome profit on a player who wanted out....

...and we've stitched Wolves right up cos hes not that good & he's got a shit attitude.....he reminds me of a far, far less talented Jay Bothroyd

Good business. Well done City.

Fantastic price for him. We were never going to get a million. £750,000 for a 29 year old journeyman with a history of injury niggles and alleged attitude problems is excellent business. He has never commanded such a fee before so it is a great deal for us for sure.

he used the club to get a move.

he will become a flop again for WOLVES

I don't think he will to be honest, but we can live in hope

If he helps get them up, its well worth it for them

NEWSFLASH: Leon Clarke has just handed in a transfer request at Wolves

Wolves were going up anyway IMHO....signing Clarke could now rock the boat....fingers crossed.

Sisu's investers have made a handsome profit on the player me thinks

TasmanSeaSkyBlue · Jan 30, 2014

End of the Leon Clarke story - lets move on to the next disaster. Will Leon play against us later in the season or did we make that part of the transfer deal?

I don't think any of sisus investors have made a profit on anything for a while TBH....but I know what you're getting at...

diggerdaley · Jan 30, 2014

I don't believe that fee,he only signed for 18 months surely a league one club wouldn't pay the equivalent of £500,000 a season plus wages for Clarke.

SkyBlueBlood · Jan 30, 2014

If true that is good money. Good riddance to bad rubbish.

2 factors: It's January so prices are always inflated

He's scored over 30 goals in one year, hence our valuation.

Ashdown1 · Jan 30, 2014

I couldn't care less about fees paid for players or wages paid out to others, none of it seems relative to me now. I've never felt so disenfranchised and unattached to the club since I've supported them. I used to like to think our £800 family spend per annum made a small difference but now who knows what happens to the clubs money as it's wrapped up in so many layers and tiers of tyranny. Does this cash reduce our debt, pay for a new player or help fund the management charges, no fucker really knows !
SISU OUT !!

Stafford_SkBlue · Jan 30, 2014

If he secures auto promotion for Wolves - it will be good business for them, as well.
Wolves are likely to score 50 goals now to end of season with Dicko and Clarke.
Also with Wolves gates increasing to 20,000 of late, they can afford it.

torchomatic · Jan 30, 2014

IF he keeps scoring the way he has then Wolves will be guaranteed promotion. So, it would be worth it, wouldn't it?

Wolves holding out for £1 million from Celtic for 13 goal striker - we sell top scorer for £750k yes the deal is good money - but Wolves are cheeky bastards holding out for a Million from Celtic.

True but Griffiths is an International player.

He is, but it's for Scotland - and Wolves have not bought him to score goals for Scotland they have brought him in to continue to score goals in this league - even if we do accept that being an Scottish International makes him more valuable £250k more valuable?

cyril · Jan 30, 2014

I can say this now. Met him in mechu club in Birmingham with JC and mcsheffrey.
Was an odious c**t who hared pressley. JC was really nice though

Leon Clarke reminds me of Harvey price

Joy Division · Jan 30, 2014

Here's hoping he looks back on his time at Coventry thinking, "fuck me that team created loads of chances for me and no wonder I scored so many goals"

Leon, top scorer yes but your not THAT good really.
