Summer 2016: Transfer rumours and suggestions

[Dante Lavelli]

I like Clark but it might be one of those 'a step back to take a step forward'.  Lose one iffy left sided centre back and give Baker more responsibility.  This should allow Okore to step up a bit.  Ultimately less waste in the squad.

[cdbearsfan]

If Clark is going we need a centre back, right back, creative midfielder and a striker. I don't fancy relying on Okore, Baker and Elphick.

What about Toner? He looked promising towards the end of the season. Has he succumbed to the Villa injury curse or gone on loan and I've not noticed?

[Tony Erdington]

Newcastle have met Clark's release clause in his contract
Weird as RDM said two days ago that no player has one except Gana?

Clark had a release clause!!!

quote of the day. for me

[frank black]

With the 7 mil for Gana, 5 mil for Clark, parachute money and the money from the doc looks like we are going to have a massive spend soon.........

I doubt anymore centre-halves will go. If Clark does go then I'd guess we'd go with Elphick, Baker, Okore, and one other. Lescott and Richards haven't been involved so far in the 'proper' friendlies - not sure if either or both are injured - but I'd be surprised if we let anymore go.

So, Clark, gueye, and Sinclair all probably on their way out in the next few days.
I don't really care, but these would not be at the top of my list to get rid of.

We are still left with arses like Richards, Lescott, Agbonlahor and Bacuna.
It's only when we get rid of these tossers will we really start to move forward.

The 1st 3 of the players who you want rid of are probably 3 of the highest earners @ the club and who else is gonna pay them £60pw??? 

[PeterWithesShin]

Why the big clamour for Bamford, I don't get it...no goals in two loan spells last season.

40 goals at championship level I think in two loan spells.

25, not 40. He also scored 18 for Milton Keynes in Division 3.

 Personally i would not be to upset to see Clark move to the barcodes. Weak and mistake prone i think five million is more than he is worth.I would also rather see young Toner given a chance .

[VillaAlways]

I'm not bothered about Clark going but why did RDM say there were no other players with release clauses when it clearly wasn't true. Makes us look a bit foolish
I read on Twitter that Tom Fox had said in a fans meeting  all last years Summer signings had clauses in their contract. I'd be amazed if Ayew didn't have one

[Ting Tong Tony]

Happy to see Clark go, he's not going to get any better, he was dreadful in the Euro too.

Makes too many unforced errors

THIS !!!!

[QuintonVilla]

Clark is absolute garbage. £5m and make Newcastle weaker, good deal.

[sickbeggar]

Think clark will turn out to be a decent buy.  He didn't play well for us last season but look who he was playing with. Put it this way, I never thought clark was the big problem

[PeterWithesShin]

I don't mind Clark, I can't help but feel he's one that hasn't developed as well as he should have because of our seemingly shite coaching over the last 5 years or so. That said I won't be overly fussed if he goes, apart from being a bit disappointed/sad an academy player leaves after 15 years at the club.
