Leon Clarke

[Alfreton14Blade]

Jamie Proctor still out of contract, unattached, looking for a home...

Just sayin

The winding up petition was dismissed today:

ok cheers Eddie. Quick tho that. They are getting experts with all the recent practice

 

[sheffielder]

Nathan Cameron is their skipper CB 6'2 and housemate of a left back we have just bought.. Just a thought

Yep, been suggesting him for a while now.

Tall, physically big, athletic, strong, young.

So you would be happy with this one?

 

[Barney]

So you would be happy with this one?

Certainly. He is the type of player we should be signing.

He would require a fee though as his contract doesn't run out until 2017, so that effectively rules him out.

Like Hussey then?

 

[diplomat]

I still chuckle out loud thinking of him playing for Wendy, scoring against palace in the relegation decider but instead of gloriously leading them to victory he opted to boot a hoarding as part of his celebration and injure himself so he had to go off. I can't think of anything else. It tickles me so much I'd even let him play for us for a bit.

 

[Barney]

Like Hussey then?

That was a nominal fee.

 

[sheffielder]

That was a nominal fee.

Thanks Barney. Just wanted to know you knew

 

[Barney]

Thanks Barney. Just wanted to know you knew

Yeah...what's your point?

Are you saying a nominal fee is the same as a normal fee?

 

[Enigmatic]

Yeah...what's your point?

The fee for Nathan Cameron could well be nominal as well when you take into account Bury's financial woes. Would the fee for Hussey have been so low if they were in a stable financial position? I doubt it.

 

[Ricky]

Cameron and Beevers would probably be a good centre half pairing.

I'd imagine we could get Cameron for below his value now, maybe 150k. If so we need to consider whether he'd be better value than someone like McFadzean.

 

[dingledog]

Just really worrying Wilder seems to be shopping for players that aren't good enough.

I can see no evidence for this statement. You saying Duffy and Hussy not good enough? Or is it based on unsubstantiated rumours started by agents, players, or any keyboard warrior, or observations on who Charlton are signing. Who cares who they sign.

Do you know how many professional footballers are out of contract? me neither, but I would guess thousands, all hanging on for that best offer to come along when they are finally out of work on July 1st.

your comment seems to me simply paranoia or scaremongering and not very helpful.

 

[Pollingtonblade]

Bury are claiming that we tabled a bid for Leon Clarke however we later withdrew it? Does this mean we are at advanced stages with a different target man?

Leon Clarke has done the rounds on here quite a bit and he is a player that we have had no choice but to admire because he has always done half decent against us. He was spot on for Coventry however I do think he might have gone over that peak in his career now and he wouldn't be the best option for us anyway therefore all things said and done I am actually quite glad that we have withdrawn if this is true.

More likely we realised we didn't have the money.

Darius Henderson MK2. Could be effective but definitely not everyone's cup of tea.

 

[gavtheblade]

He did a great job for Wolves against us a couple seasons back, and we should have signed him that summer (2 years ago now?)

At least if we sign him, we've saved ourselves a goal or two conceded this season.

I like the logic in this.

 

[Cyprus Blade]

The clock is ticking - time to try and find the fax machine - we need CH's, MF, GK and 1xCF still or this is going down the Weir.

 

[Calblade]

If you can remember back a couple of years ago at Cov, him and Wilson had a perfect partnership, would he be someone to build a similar partnership with Che?

"Does this mean we are at advanced stages with a different target man?"

More likely Wilder has been told he has to put the money back in the whip round collection tin and in future to ask permission before removing

Might work.......if Che improved by 200% overnight and then worked hard to be half as good as Wilson ;-)

Well if it's true about MK not wanting to get rid of McFadzean...it doesn't matter if he's better value or not.

 

[The_Green_Man]

When did they claim this? Is there a link?

http://www.burytimes.co.uk/sport/14..._Clarke_to_stay__says_skipper_Nathan_Cameron/

Sorry forum police! He is a link as requested One of many that could be found with a simple, accurate google search.

Another valid point in there that I had forgotten about......Knill knows Clarke well having been his gaffer at Scunthorpe. Maybe there was a bit of truth in this but then the figures touted didn't match what we want to pay.

Sorry wasn't meant with a forum police meaning. More that I had not heard of it before you mentioned it

Only a bit of banter mucker. I would have posted a link usually but I was on my phone and couldn't be bothered as it's a pain in the backside haha.

 

[Treeton Blade]

One of the players Wilder was referring to with the 2 bids in quote.

McFadzean obviously the other, and despite the deadline to Mk, we would wait as long as we had to.
Number one target.

 

[robbiez666]

This year's Dan Burn?

 

[Lmaobob]

Not sure if Leon Clarke is a 90 minute player anymore - i'd keep him on the bench and bring him on if need be

Well always presuming we still have players like Adams and Done at the club to play the first hour or so.

 

[Finn Keane o' Balmaqueen]

Not going to start another thread about the same player.

First of three incoming.

It only took an extra 8/9 weeks...

Thank You wizadry for having faith!!

Hallelujah Brother, Hallelujah!!
