All starting to seem like he was lined up as a replacement for Dunk, but not needed now as we've persuaded Lewis to stay ?

cant imagine we would spend 5 mill on a league 1 replacement for Dunk (England International)
Probably more of a squad addition a la Burn

He's presumably giving Potter more options at the back if we wants to switch to a back three so an extra CB in the squad.
But Dunk and Duffy. Never say never. But Albion have been pretty clear that they don't sell their best players.

The usual NSC MO
- outlets who do reporting and have sources who might actually have an idea whats happening and talk to em on a daily basis - don't trust em. or club are just feeding them lies.
- twitter accounts with 50 followers or no track record - ALL IN. Messi is on his way. - weeks after they've been discredited.

"New Albion boss Graham Porter watched Clarke in the recent play-offs" Porter - really?

Yes, the Sky cameras showed him during the second leg at Fratton Park.

My Hair is like his hair
Scouting for Swansea it was mentioned at the time I believe.
Was more pointing out that a journalist that covers the club closely spelt our new manager's name wrong
You’re not aware of the seagull wedgee transfer window NSC usage are you?
1) Claim to have great sources
2) Post stuff as fact based on something from twitter as the probability is it will happen and you have a chance of looking ‘in the know’
3) If it doesn’t happen (which is usually), hope nobody remembers the post or dig it up
4) If it does happen (which is still plausible as with this one, based on another players mum tweeting) claim you told the whole of NSC (we are waiting for this to actually happen ever though - as he’s never even guessed right yet) If Clarke signs in a week he’ll be claiming he told us first and it was done 8/9 days earlier...
5) If you get called out and made a show of for posting bullshit, scramble desperately to try and get some sort of credibility back - wasn’t it Tau going the other way in a deal we were doing last window or something [MENTION=267]TSB[/MENTION]?
6) Rudely and arrogantly ignore anyone who asks questions / calls him out on his bullshit - including the other day when he announced TB was suing kick it out or something like that - which seemed to be bollocks after a BBC article issued their apology...
Guess guess guess - what a tit to mis inform fellow fans constantly for ones own online ego - wanting to be ‘ITK’
Sorry but all true.
You missed something out - ''He is a Multi Millionaire'' Allegedly !

Which you've now done twice in fact. And ?

Just spoke to a Pompey supporting mate. He reckons that Clarke is the best player they’ve had in decades. Complete defender - good on the ball, in the air, great positioning, good tackler and only 22. Player of the season twice already and PFA. Sounds like a great prospect.

Better than Sol Campbell?

Maybe, maybe not.
It might mean we are holding out for someone else to have a bid accepted, then match it.
By not bidding first we avoid a bidding war.
Hmmm... sounds like you are describing a bidding war!

Not at all, once a bid has been accepted, the players agent can legitimately demand any matching bid must also be accepted.
If we deny interest, and hold off making a bid, knowing the player wants to join us, we can wait for another team to bid an accepted fee. We then match that bid at the last minute, without pushing the price higher.
Something Chelsea did to Tottenham when they bought Willian.
Thats the opposite of a bidding war.
Not sure Balogun is the answer. Handy player to have around but not starting every week.
Potter only played with a back 3 on 5 occasions last year anyway so we may not see that formation very often. If he were to use it I wouldn't mind seeing us target Liam Moore again. He's reasonably quick and has played a fair few games at right back so used to be dragged out wide if he played on the right of a 3. Good with the ball too.
I wouldn't mind seeing Moore, Dunk, Bernardo in a 3 with Solly left wing back and a new right back to compete with Montoya..... If we played that way.
Matt Clarke- Portsmouth defender rumour
His full back experience is useful though.
He has played right back 74 times in his career. His best spell in this position was 14/15 in the German 2nd tier where he scored 4 goals.
Potter was committed to a back 3 for years at Östersunds.
Swans fans have been on this board to explain that he did not have the quality of players to use this system last season. I really believe our formation will be similar to Wolves for most of next season as TB will provide the funds to get the right players in.
Good shout.
I’d prefer Solly at right wing back as I think Bernardo is suited to the left. However, you could also argue that Suttner and Schelotto are the best wing backs at the club.
