Player Suggestion Jack Clarke

[LewishamBlade]

A winger. That's precisely what we've been missing.

Don’t know where he fits in though. We don’t have the legs in midfield to play wide wingers with a back 3/5

Thought he looked like he had something when I saw against pigs

Some great runs in the L1 play offs. May be able to adapt to ACM in a 3-4-2-1?

 

[Upton_Blade]

From the players we're being linked with it certainly looks like the plan is to stick with the 3421 we ended the season with rather than revert to 3412.

Played off the forward for Sunderland as well as out wide. Watched a couple of their games and he is a similar style and build to Brooks. Happy to take responsibility of the ball and capable of going pass players with ease.

That's Conte's preferred formation. If they've not given up on Clarke they may look to send him on loan to a team which plays that formation, with the aim to help him adapt to playing slightly more centrally.

We’ll be able to switch it up between and during games

Watched him against Wednesday. Didn’t look out of place playing in front of a crowd 90,000 and against the galacticos. Could be a good move

 

[brownblade]

Edit, wrong thread

We will do if Doyle signs on loan. These r the type of players we need in on loan. Loads of potential, not yet 'made it' so hungry to prove themselves. If they can do that in the Championship then their next move is premier league.

Get guys in like this all day long over the likes of Hourihane

 

[Bladesman]

No.

Played wing back as well a lot for Sunderland, wonder what would happen if we had a wing back with a cross

Gone elsewhere



Not convinced we were ever interested.

 

[JayGreen17]

I’m glad we weren’t in for him, didn’t pull up any trees last year.

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

Phew...missed a dud there

 

[Booker4]

Nathan Hemmingham said Clarke wasn't a name that has been mentioned, I suspect it was just paper talk and he was always likely to go back to Sunderland. Will be interesting how he does there as he was generally on the bench last season.

 

[Champagneblade]

Phew...missed a dud there

Him, Roberts, Lawrence. Missing a few players that not everyone is sold on.

Blessings in disguise perhaps?

 

[SufcBilly]

£10 mill? What the fuck

 

[Weasel]

£10 mill? What the fuck

And some said we would be lucky to get £10m for Sander Berge....

 

[247Blade]

Another gone elsewhere

 

[nopigfansintown]

Yep. Sheffield United fans are stuck in 2002 re transfer fees.

 

[Bladesman]

£10mil? really?

 

[CockneyBlade93]

£10mil? really?

That's what Spurs originally paid for him from Leeds

 

[SufcBilly]

Sunderland deal could also reach £10 Mill

 

[Silent Blade]

Another gone elsewhere

Stop crying!

 

[bartman]

Another gone elsewhere

And you think that we should pay £10mill for him ?

 

[Mouth of the South]

And you think that we should pay £10mill for him ?

Utd should obviously have signed the first 8 players that became available this summer, regardless of fee, salary or ability. It would have kept the Football Manager playing / wannabe CEOs from Team Bedwetter happy at least!

 

[robbiez666]

I think he'll be a good player for them. Still only 21 and basically restarted his career with Sunderland last season. He has great talent but needed to play regularly after his move. Spurs tried to shove him straight into Championship teams when they should have started at League 1.

He's a winger so I'm not sure why we would have had any interest. It's not Football Manager, you can't just adapt any winger into an attacking midfielder/striker.

I suspect he set them back nearer £1 Million given he was in the last year of his contract. Sure, there will be add on but not ones Sunderland are likely to pay.

Probably have to stump up a big lump if they go up
