Don't want to jump in front of Bucky but I have to do some work soon. Just to add a bit of context to this, the same person has told me other things, that I've posted, and was correct. (I can't be bothered to go back and quote, basically take it or leave it, no skin off my nose.) Regarding Clarke, it seems he left on such good terms that a return wouldn't be difficult and has friends in the NE.
I could be wrong but I’m pretty sure I was told girlfriend/wife is from up here, would be a nice bonus if it happened
Id have Clarke back until the end of the season. Allows Mundle and Watson plenty of time to ease back in, especially Mundle as it sounds like his Hamstring injury was a really bad one) We all know he can more than perform at this level, knows the team and how we play. Could be a shrewd use of the last loan place.
If Clarke did return....It wouldn't look great for his s hithouse agent Harte... who did all he can to move him on for a few extra quid and consequently messed up the lads career.
You'd imagine the club have spoken to the senior players to gauge the reaction. Clarke always seemed very popular and never appeared arrogant. Would it give us a boost, players and fans alike ... I think so, probably Clarke as well.
The bit I've put in bold I think is really important and something I believe the club would have done / been doing. We place a massive emphasis on squad harmony and getting players in the will add or fit in with it and we have seen the results on the pitch imo
I'll always stand by the belief that Clarke is the type of player who can secure us 3 points on Saturday, no matter how bad the overall performance is.
I got that same news yesterday too. Obviously not gonna go into detail on here but saw your post and wondered if it was the same person.
