Apparently someone otr has said he’s heard it’s done, never mentioned which team and has since not been back on.
 
more of a right winger but plays both sides and up top. Would be a good addition as a “Amad replacement”
Transfer market had him down on the left. Can't see it happening unless a permanent though, not convinced using a loan spot up for a winger is what's needed at the minute

Excuse my paranoia for a second but it’ll do me good to get it off my chest. Do we think the club fully expect Clarke to leave now?

He’s our star player and our best player and normally clubs use their best players for PR and have them plastered all over their social media. Yet Clarke has barely appeared in so much as a photo on ours since before the US trip.

Hopefully/probably it means nothing but it seems a little odd.

Don't attach any significance to that mate....as you say,it means nothing.

Could just be because he’s linked with moves away.

I do remember once a few years ago that we were using a player on socials constantly, and then he left - forgot who he was though. Made us look like right idiots.
 
Just as we're trying to take good young players from other clubs we have to accept bigger clubs will try to do that with ours ...

... if Clarke goes we have to be grown up and not eat our play-doh in temper.
I am not sure he will go (think any good agent wants interest in their player as it generally leads to a better contract offer and even though JC seems settled and happy here he would not say no to an improved contract, he is also just starting to realise his potential and IMO a move now may not be the smartest thing for him hopefully he and his agent are taking this into consideration) but like you say if he does then we pick ourselves up move forward and deal with it.

I think he will go late on when people realise low bids mean they will have a gap

If Clarke goes then as much as it would be annoying, it would show we are doing well and the money can be put to getting in the next batch of players.

The play doh eating might come if we sell him and don't use the money to improve the team / squad

I'm sure they were used for the kit launch to modle one of the strips and like you say, he left.
