aberdeen1970 Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 We've never once made any of these types of loans permanent in the past that I can remember. Who are the highest profile loans we've ever made permanent? Logan? Reynolds? Christie was close but no cigar. These boys are here to help further their career by putting themselves in the shop window. We can't really get too attached to them. All we can ask is that they give their all while they are here. 3 Link to comment
TerryMcDermott Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 I don’t think it’s pant pishing to say that signing Clarkson would be an absolute coup and one with a confident sell on value. And as such it’s highly unlikely. It would be utterly Hunnish for the Orcs to get him but personally I think we’ll be priced out by a championship club and that will be that. Only daylight on this one is if Liverpool extend his contract and we get him on loan again. And even that now seems to be a non starter. He would go to England with best wishes and that is almost certainly what will happen. A league one club could no doubt blow our wages out of the water and money talks. In a perfect world he signs for us on a two year contract with the obligatory release clause and agreements and doesn’t end up playing for Lucifer’s XI. But as someone else pointed out….that’s never the outcome in these situations. Agents, money and competition means we lose out. anyway….back to pishing the pants. 1 Link to comment

Risk going elsewhere and being on the bench for the full season. He's 21 and only has one season as a first pick under his belt. Or, get £5k per week with us (max), or get double that in the English Championship. It’s not a difficult decision really. 1 Link to comment

Would be great if he extended his loan or we actually pushed the boat and signed him yes it would be expensive Just say to Leighton want would you either do gain valuable European experience and play every week or play for the likes of Preston North End or Stoke City where you have no European football and not even guaranteed a first team place Sign for us say for two years really put yourself in the shop window and play for a club who really wants you an will look after you Link to comment

Yep, not with us though, he did make Kilmarnock finish higher in the table than us at his peak form though under Clarke, which with there budget that was incredible. Link to comment

I meant Wilson.Sure he scored a cracker in one game that showed he could do it.He is just another in a very long list of lads with bags of ability but a heart the size of a pea, and unwilling to put the effort in to make the most of it.

Don_Corleone Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 Offer him £10k a week on a 3 year deal... if he has another season like last season he'll be off next summer anyway for multiple millions. We give him £520K for one season and we'll get back about 6 or 7 times that, and he will win us a number of points which might affect our league position. His set piece quality alone could make a big difference in the European games especially. If we were paying Ramirez approx £10k a week (which was widely reported) Clarkson is definitely more than worth splashing out the same on. 2 Link to comment

It’s not a difficult decision really. As he's supposedly only on £3k a week at Liverpool we could still easily double his wages which isn't bad for a 21 year old. Could he earn more elsewhere, of course... but at least with us he'd know he'd be one of the first names on the team sheet (probably wouldn't be at the huns) and he'd be able to get more exposure in the European group stages (won't EVER have that at a Championship / League 1 club in England). Looking likely that it won't happen but coming to us wouldn't be the worst move for him in the long term... unless he's literally all about the money. Link to comment
