Blade, not Bladey.
Some good obs, difficult to disagree with much of what you say.
But I'll stand by my pre season assertion that Clarke will be a bad signing. And I don't see that changing, to use your own style of analogy, even if we were to get Iniesta, Pogba, Modric and Payet running the midfield.
Stay tuned.
UTB
Whether he is a good signing or not (and I think he is. You need a good tall mobile striker in this league and he will prove himself just that) it is not for Billy the Blade to decide who plays alongside him. He should do as the manager asks him and give 100% whilst he's at it. Either that or fuck off. Leon Clarke has done nothing wrong yet some want him to take the stick for Bladey Bill playing crap.
Pathetic.
