I do think it depends on how we're going to setup next season. If we're going to be a counter-attacking team then I would argue we need a more powerful, pacey forward who can bully defenders the way Zaha and Bolasie before him have done. If we're going down the Potter route with more possession then he may well fit in really well. He doesn't look Eze/Olise level to me though, but I'd be happy to be proved wrong.

I haven't seen anything linking him with us to be fair but just seems like a transfer with a lot more potential upside than downside. We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold...

Forest are profligate. Gibbs White.

Agreed Gibbs White is a good player but the price they paid for him means there is little opportunity for re-sale value. As for us buying Clarke we don't appear to get involved in auctions bidding against other PL clubs. We seem to make a bid and leave it there other clubs know this so if they really want a player they just do a West Ham e.g. match our offer on wages and up the transfer fee. By the way our strategy is not a bad one. I prefer players who are desperate to sign for us rather than ones playing us off against other clubs.
