Seems to have gone quiet on Clayton after a lot of speculation he was heading to Middlesbrough. I think most Town fans are probably a little bored of it. Whether he moves or not I'd suggest that if your local reporter is describing him as free scoring then he probably hasn't put a huge amount of time and effort into that article...

Why's he in yesterdays squad pic then? If he plays today he won't be going anywhere.

Brighton may or may not stump up the large fee that Deano has said it will take but until that happens it just looks like more lazy journalism. Apparently from what Dean has said both boro and Brighton were not even half way to his minimum valuation on Clayton. Thats a bit of a gap to make up.

norwood scores shedloads, forget what his stats say, he looks a much better buy for you and is younger and an International player. please start lots of rumours on your forums etc to get norwood down to you. Gobern is also a star in waiting and he could well be available for next to nothing, he is also taller than Clayton and was once spoken of as a 'premiership player in the making' by that esteemed expert on footballers Lee Clark.

Free scoring?-At least it makes a change from tough tackling!

And Hoggs ball control and pass completion stats are by far the best this country has ever seen

Might be his last game today ? Don't think i'd blame him for joining Brighton.. They can obviously pay him more & he'll be joining one of the most progressive clubs in the country imo.. Would certainly make more sense than joining Middlesbrough!

They made an improved offer. Not sure how improved though and whether it met Dean's valuation

To be fair, Brighton does look a good move for him. Certainly makes more sense than Middlesbrough. I just hope he doesn't think that (or that we get a decent fee for him & can get a decent replacement).
FWIW, I wouldn't expect him to go cheaply. Even though he only has 1 year left on his contract Deano tends to be a good negotiator.

Even though he only has 1 year left on his contract Deano tends to be a good negotiator. Think we may get £2m+ for him if more than one club are interested. Wouldn't be a bad bit of business really with him only having 12mths to run on his contract. We only paid £400k for him from Leeds & got two years of service out of him. Don't get me wrong, i would much rather he signed a contract extension & stay, but if he doesn't sell him to the highest bidder & use the money to bring in new talent.. Can't blame him for leaving his options open. He may decide to run his contract down & go for free next summer & earn a bigger signing on fee elsewhere, again i wouldn't mind getting another good season out of him, although i suspect DH would rather cash in now if that was the case.

If he isn't going to sign a new contract with town - and the offer that town may make is a separate issue - it's time to sell.
Just over 3 weeks of the window left - first game approaching - a reduced price in January with a few months left on his contract.
Sell him and spend the cash on a solid CM. Have the rest in reserve for January in case we need rescuing.
Otherwise the next 3 weeks will drag on and happen again in December/January.
