David Clarkson?

[Bluebaldee]

On trial with us. What do you (Gas and Teds) think about this?

His goal record doesn't set the world on fire and apparently he's got the pace of an asthmatic ant carrying heavy luggage up a particularly steep flight of stairs, but I've been told that he's pretty good on the ball and an intelligent footballer.

Could do a job at L2 level, especially if played behind a front two, I reckon.

 

[Chris-Gashead]

Wouldn't say no, its better value than 200k for Constable that's for sure

 

[Bluebaldee]

I agree. Couldn't understand why we chased Constable - almost exactly the same type of player as Harrold, except he's gone right off the boil last season, whilst Matty had a pretty good season.

Clarkson yes please, Constable no thanks.

Should be a class act in the 4th tier,you should snap him up..

Cheers Wiz! Great goal - excellent awareness and execution.

 

[pirate49]

Many City fans on the various boards agree that he'd do a good job for us.
Also still only 26 and a free agent. Got to be worth a punt.

 

[Jenny!]

You lot seem to be struggling to attract any decent players!?

 

[Rhinestone Gashead]

Like you'd know what a decent player is Jenny!!!

 

[PureGas]

Now come on Jenny love, you know you shouldn't be on here when there's ironing to be done.

 

[Jenny!]

I remember telling a young lad he'd play in goal for England one day, many years ago. I wonder what happened to him?!

dave clarkson wasn't he a drummer in the dave clarkson 5, bits and pieces etc i thought he was dead!

 

[banksyisourhero]

I was stood right beside Clarkson When he hit that ball in that you tube clip. He shinned it, definitely. but he still got the result he was after so fair play!

If you can get him fully fit and match sharp I reckon he could be a class act in div 4.

 

[atcham jack]

i hear the wobblers are sniffing around matty h. 10k has been mentioned

I'll think you'll find the band were called the dave clark 5 you muppet

Are you mad sir, Clarkson's goal record is ****ing ****e

 

[Chris-Gashead]

So is constables

 

[pirate49]

Early days so.........................
Clarkson looked off the pace v WSM, but worked hard.
He didn't win much in the air.
Played in a 4-4-2 with Richards up front. Was brought down
for the penalty from which he scored. Subbed with about 15/20
minutes left.

 

[Bluebaldee]

As you say Pirate, early days. What do you think the chances of us signing him are?

 

[pirate49]

I'd be a bit more reserved than others. MM's no fool.....and he's
not going to meet Clarkson's (agent's) financial demands unless
he can see a good return in goals.
Let's see how he does in the next few games.
i.e......haven't got a clue!!!

 

[wizered]

The question is does his highness Lord McGhee think the pleb Clarkson is WORTHY of playing for a lowly 4th level club....?
