Clarke Carlisle

[cooperblade]

All the 'itk' posters on bladesmad seem convinced he's signing, possibly in a swap deal for Sharp. Apparently we're also looking at 2 keepers - Ashdown and Carson

 

[SwissBlade]

Seriously? I doubt it. If we'd have beaten Burnley he'd have been the first on the list of Championship raids

He's played for Watford so I suppose there is a chance but I just can't see him leaving, hasn't he played quite a lot this season? I don't think Laws will want to upset the apple cart.

Slightly off topic did anyone see Laws post match interview last night? Looked completely lost, deflated and worried.

 

[LouTheBlade]

Could be some truth in this. Burnley have just signed Leon Cort from Stoke and its well document that Laws wants Billy Sharp.

Carlisle was also one of KB's first signings for Leeds as I recall so he clearly rates him. I like him as well to be honest. Very dominating centre half, great in the air. I thought he was a monster at Wembley. Wouldnt complain at all.

Brian Laws...

then Leon Cort...

then Nicky Weaver...

then Billy Sharp?

Burnley fans must be double checking they are in fact in the Prem and not League 1.

:lol: its what they can afford though isnt it. They dont have the finances to sign established PL players. Theyre best off not gambling anyway because I cant see them staying up longer than one season. Cant win away!

Blackwell sold Carlisle for £100,000 after only one season at the club though.

Wasn't he having drinking issues at that point?

I think that was a couple of years earlier.

 

[NN6]

anyone who thinks Carlisle is coming to us is living on cloud cuckoo land...he captained a premiership side yesterday against the champions elect so why would burnley let him go?????????

 

[Toronto Blade]

The only thing that will happen in the transfer window would be someone leaving.The club is happy to work the loan market.

All the 'itk' posters on bladesmad

There aren't any.

 

[Flatulent_Bob]

There are a few who seem to know some of what is going off at the club.
I know who clayx "source" is at the club for example. Clay's problem is he has Beighton like moments when he likes to stir the shit up to see the reaction. When he is serious he is usually on the ball of what the club is trying to do. i.e. Lita for example was all sorted for our end until we were trumped by Boro.

Incidentally I think this rumour is a lot of shite though.

As far as I can tell, only Sweets and Eighteen89 (I think the name is) are particularly reliable ITK'ers. They generally get things bang on some time before a transfer has been released.

It was from the latter that the Clark Carlisle rumour originated as he admitted that he was speculating for the first time and it wasn't a definite. He basically knew we were in for a Premiership central defender whose club was waiting to get someone in before releasing said player.

That would seem to be Sunderland getting in Killa and moving out Nosworthy to us as that deal has been completed.

 

[Houso]

Certainly looks that way.
