“We’re losing one of our most talented young players.”

“A game changer. He can come off the bench and cause problems.”

“And how many times was Harrison subbed off at HT only for Clarke to change the game? It’s amazing how our fans ignore how good he was before he got ill.”

” JC did fade but in no way was Harrison ever shining as bright as Clarke did at points, a few glimmers from Harrison but he didnt ever change a game like JC did vs Derby or Villa or Blades for example.”

” Neither of those two showed anywhere near the level Jack did before his illness. “

” Flashes of brilliance, but wasnt great when starting games (was usually subbed). “

” Not one person here is happy to see Clarke go. “

“The trouble with Clarke is that we don’t really know how good he will be. Has he been found out and blunted by championship defenders or was that just a blip in his development?

His form had deteriorated well before the fainting/collapsing incident at Boro and I think it was against Brentford later on in the season where their fans were openly laughing at him as he played woefully, unable to control the ball, pass to a Leeds player or take on a Brentford player.

With his form for the last few months of the season he is nowhere near being a first team regular. If he stayed I would imagine him being nursed back in slowly with 20 minutes as a sub until it looked like he had got his spark back.



So for me he isn’t a first team regular and is only even a squad player based on the first handful of appearances. “

“Agree with all of that.”

“Yep that just about sums it up for me. At Brentford he was falling over when he had the ball at his feet and no-one was near him.

It was awful to witness.”

“He has tons of potential, he has shown he can make a difference in this league and frankly sick of owners selling our best prospects when they don’t have to.

We should be building around players like Jack not flogging them. “

“If he stays, a bench player until he gets confidence back

5 for last season…. a couple of good flashes, but crap after that.. “

” 4 for last seasons body of work.”

” Don’t bemoan us selling Clarke because we’re losing one of our most talented young players and then turn round complaining that he’s coming back for the season.”

” I’ll be glad to see Jack here next season personally.”

” Pleased Jack will be back but it irks me that we will be developing our own academy player for someone else effectively.”

” On one hand, glad we’ll still have him in a way and he isn’t going to a rival, but we’re essentially raising his price tag for Spurs after selling him on the cheap and preventing a player we own from getting a chance. “

” I wonder if the loan back arrangement was built into the selling deal therefore making the price cheaper for Spurs. The good thing is that if Jack doesn’t perform Leeds give him back and still pocket what may well be an inflated price by then. “

“We’ve sold Clarke on the cheap… £9m was very poor in today’s market. I bet a Tottenham u23 player with no first appearances would cost around that.”

” Clarke wasn’t cheap, he went for market price based on supply and demand”

” Clarke was too cheap. “

” Sadly his end of season form slashed his value and also seems to have frightened almost all the interested teams away. “

” Clarke was quickly sold on the cheap to cover £15m we lost with bad management, not because he wanted to leave. That’s why it hurts. “

” If we hadn’t wasted £5m on loans, then Clarke wouldn’t have needed to be sold. “
