Jack Clarke medical at Sunderland as of now according to L Rose.
Judging by last night’s effort at Everton he might as well stay there. Contract ends in the summer so won’t be back. We might get some sort of fee as he is just 21.
Not judging him on last night alone but John from Lily Rose has been criticising his displays all season. A punt from Daniel that didn’t work. If I remember correctly th3 fee was around 7m when we bought him. Amusing how it has been quoted at 10m by many thus season and even got to 13m in one newspaper last week.
Is this another connection to Paul Bracewell after Dennis Cirkin left. Kai Sterling also went up there.

Yep. JC's contracted until 2023.I think his contract has another year to run (June 2023), was really surprised he didn't go back out on loan at start of season - maybe back to Stoke where he did ok last season.
I imagine if Sunderland want him at end of this season, a deal will be done - a relatively small fee, add ons based on appearances with a sell on perhaps. Buying young players is always a punt - remember John Bostock and Dean Parrett for example - but Clarke has never really shown anything remarkable or above the level of the Academy lads. Could be Bracewell.... but could be academy staff phoning him to see if Sunderland want to offer a solution, especially if Sunderland think they will go back to Championship next season where Clarke has some experience.

He has actually been good so far this season but he was poor last night. I suppose this potential loan was on his mind. I have him down as an £8.5 mill buy so, although to me that is still a lot of money, if we find him a decent club we can recoup a decent chunk of that, especially if he improves.
How the mighty have fallen - once rated as high or even higher than Kane.
Wonder how this affects Troy Parrott at MK Dons ?
Unlucky to be injured on his debut.
But at least he got his 'big move' before getting injured.
What happened here? (as in with him leaving)
Was there any story, seems very off we couldn't work something out with a youngster producing the most important metrics = Goals and Assists.
I’ve seen Clarke play four times this season: in two he was brilliant, one he was good in the first half and quiet in the second and in the other (Everton) he was a bit disappointing, as was the whole team. Judging by output and reports, he has been one of four outstanding players across the season for the U23s: Markanday, White and John being the others.Jack Clarke medical at Sunderland as of now according to L Rose.

Just to add to that, some people have an axe to grind with Clarke because he’s not home grown. Again, not Clarke’s fault.
Sorry, I didn’t mean in a regulatory sense . I mean that he did not come through our academy.You mean not club trained surely?

People think that we bought a player no better than what we already had at the club, and hold that against him. Which, again, is not Clarke’s fault either way.
I can’t see Conte promoting any young players if I’m brutally honest so I expect he’ll leave (as will others) even if he excels in this loan and the next.Don't disagree with your posts, and think Sunderland is not a bad loan for him to show what he can do.
But do you think there is a realistic chance that he comes back in June ready to join Spurs first team squad ? My personal guess is that its a pretty slim chance, but the loan might be a good chance to re-establish himself as a player probably in Championship, but might be lower PL sides.

Best of luck for the next half season to him
