I liked Clarke a lot, who didn't? He seemed to just grow up that night at Hillsborough. Just as impressive for me was his reaction to being left out of the final. He must have been surprised and disappointed. But he came on with a bang and caused all the trouble we were looking for, causing nightmares for Wycombe. Hopefully he signs here. Just the type of deal we should be looking at.
It should get better if you think the scouting and data analysis were starting from scratch near enough
Very good signing for them. He will dominate games for them. I am surprised he didnt get a lower prem club to be honest, he is talented enough.
Not often I’ll totally disregard an opinion, because free speech and all that.. But if you’re questioning us signing Clarke you need to stop watching football.
Ally Gold says the initial fee for Clarke will be low but add-ons can take it to £10m. We only paid £10m anyway so if he did reach even a few of those add-ons we’ll make a decent bit of it a back. Shame it never worked out for him, I still think there’s a decent player in there and hopefully he can start fulfilling his potential with Sunderland.
ALASDAIR GOLD Tottenham Hotspur correspondent Based inLondon Raised on a diet of decades of Spurs mediocrity, the arrival of Martin Jol and some semblance of Lilywhite excitement sparked Alasdair into writing about the club and he hasn't stopped since. Once asked Mauricio Pochettino if he liked Erik Lamela's nutmeg. Pochettino wasn't impressed.
