I apologise unreservedly for my dreadful spelling error.
Please forgive me?

I wouldn't be in a rush to get rid of Clarke. Think Clark might bring out the best in him. Good luck Kieran.

Very surprised we have not got rid of more crap.
I really hope that Bacuna Gabby and Guzan are gone by the start of the season.
We will not miss Hutton Clark Baker Westwood Sissoko Bennett Kozak or Lescott either.
That is. Full team and would not win many games if any in the championship.

I think it'll be like a long-awaited bowel evacuation. There will be much grunting and straining, and then suddenly a great disturbance and scattering, like a chucking a firework into a squirrels' nest.

Agreed.  Westwood I can take or leave, but Clark is far to error prone for a defender.

Clark, Westwood, Sissokho and Bacuna for me. Get rid. If we can find a home for Guzan and Lescott too then happy days. With Charlie dresscode and Richardson already gone most of the shit will have been poop scooped in one summer.

Absolutely delighted if we can mug some money, any money, out of anyone for these two.  No doubt their "PL experience" looks attractive to some, but it's mainly experience of losing, pointing, ball watching, contributing very little, and dropping lots of bollocks.

I don't really dislike either of them, but would put them both in the not quite good enough category if we are looking to get out of this league at the first attempt and establish ourselves in the top flight again.  £12m for the two would be very good business.

Get rid of Clark. A few decent meaty tackles in season after season of cock-ups and utter cluelessness. He's rubbish.

Actually think Clark is one of the most improved players and is a decent threat from set pieces too, although that applies at both ends ;)  I'd keep him and maybe pair him with someone more experienced or who brings something different to the side.

Westwood just hasn't progressed since his bright start four years ago and offers next to nothing so I'd move him on without thinking about it. 

Think we're in the postion where the reality is that we will need to move on a lot of dead weight.  The quicker we do it the better.

According to Wiki, Clark has played 134 matches for us, and 19 full internationals.  Inexperienced he isn't.  For those 134 matches, he's had the misfortune of playing in what has probably been the worst collection of players ever to represent the club.  Couple that with incompetent coaches and managers it's an accident waiting to happen.  I never thought he was that good to start with and with the experience that he does have, has never seemed to learn from his mistakes.  If the offer is right, move him on.
