Harry Clifton

I would like to see Harry move on.

Not because I don't rate him, but I think he deserves a chance to better himself.

I agree as long as it is  an upward move and not one sideways , if it was financially beneficial to both him ,the club and staying relatively local is important to him i suspect .

He is a Town fan for life which is the main thing , hopefully when he does eventually leave he is back in the stands as regularly as he can be .

I like Harry we all like Harry but ffs the reality he’s very limited in the technical side of the game and at 25 this summer will that improve ? I always hoped he would take games by the scruff of the neck and dominant the midfield and almost be are stevie G type player. He works hard is the perfect professional chips in with some goals which is great but if anyone is offering the money quoted snap their hands off I say and let’s wish him good luck. My thoughts are he will end up being a squad player at somewhere like Wednesday / Barnsley and hopefully making a good living off the Yorkie twits 😂

Good post. I feel maybe the sentimental side of things can get in the way as well amongst fans me included .A home grown player that has the right mindsight and loves playing for his club and feeds of that energy. Its as if for some hes living out our childhood dreams eg you want to play for your hometown football club and do really well for them and then  more than likely move on to pastures new where the millions are. I note in the FA  Brighton v Grimsby  game  the tv pundits picked up on this as well and were calling Harry Clifton  Mr Grimsby.

If anyone offers us £360k for him I’ll drive him there myself

You are odd. You seem happy to get rid of our most effective midfielder this year, but want to base our team around our most ineffective midfielder this year.

Don’t think so. Everyone has a price and the fact that Harry is our player of the season probably indicates how average we are.

By the way, that’s not a comment on Harry, more of a comment on the rest.

I don’t know who you are, but you can’t tell me anyone in this squad is worth £360k.

Aye. Clifton has a year remaining on his contract, and would be daft to sign an extension at this moment in time. He’s a reliable, incredibly fit, goal scoring, box-to-box midfielder with over 200 senior games under his belt at the age of 24, but we have to be realistic about what a player like that is worth at this level.

Realistically, I would think an offer with an up-front value of between £125k and £175k would secure his services.

Maybe my valuation of 750k was a bit high .

I suppose the only players that actually go for fees of high value down in league 2 / NL are ones that score a lot up top .

It shows you how important our cup run was , as we are realistically never likely to raise that sort of money from player sales in the short term .

I think the biggest factor influencing fees that we’ll get nowadays is potential. How much did we get for Pollock, £250k? About £300k for McAtee, £160k for Grist - all players who might be able to recoup the fee with a couple of years of development. I just can’t see how Clifton could be worth £400k in a couple of years, or how he improves a team to the extent it makes that fee worthwhile.

Pollock’s doing really well up at Aberdeen at the minute by the way. 5 clean sheets on the bounce, beat Rangers Saturday and won 8 in 10 since he joined in Jan. Wouldn’t be surprised to see him move up there on a permanent deal in the summer.

And so it begins. A true Fishy-esque start to the summer rumours, with a mad 360k plus add-ons shout for Clifton to Mansfield. Roll on the next few months.
