Incoming? Harry Clarke

[Davalon]

I've no idea how well Stoke will do but irrespective of our financial position, I'd be apoplectic if we'd paid that for him.

Apart from a decent 30 mins, every time I've seen him for us or anyone else, he's been regularly out of position, looked indecisive, and neither strong defensively or offensively.

At 25 he's also not one to expect a notable improvement on.

 

[Green7361]

I wouldn't pay three bags of crisps for him

 

[Green7361]

Or three pairs of Clarke's for that matter

 

[TJ blade]

Oh dear Stoke! What have you gone and done, hes shite

 

[Blades1971]

We've dodged a bullet there

 

[Badger Blade]

Fancy spending actual money on Clarke and Soumare! Two of the most bang average ex Blades in recent memory.

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

That's up there with us getting 6m for Trusty

Or Leicester getting 10m for Cannon

 

[Ginger Gnome]

Stoke will get top 6

Not if Clarke is a regular

 

[UddersBlade]

Not if Clarke is a regular

No way Stoke finish above West Ham, Wolves, Saints, Boro, Millwall, Burnley or even Norwich.

Plus a million years on Ingesson from pigs!

There's no confirmation we were ever interested though other than via one of those somewhat click bait sites. I think we were linked just because of previous loan.

Top 6 what? Most ridiculous, overpriced signings of the summer?

 

[Gin&Juice]

Thought he was a good solid pro, a good solid pro.

 

[Racing Blade]

2-1 home win v Portsmouth, Clarke was absolutely abysmal. Made Josh Murphy look like...... erm...... Jacob Murphy.

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

Hold on..... Stoke have that Junior Tchamadou at RB

So why the hell would they want Clarke?

Expensive rotation option

If Tchamadou is available he'd be a good Seriki replacement

Agree on Clarke, but Soumare has a very broad range of what he could be. A strange player.
What did they pay for him?

£3.4m so thick end of £7m on him and Clarke.
