That’s exactly why it was. He said so himself and even his agent did. He wanted to come here because Regis is here
If Regis was managing a league below or we were in the bottom 3 he wouldn’t be here. Of course it’s mainly that but not only that. It’s quite possible we go up this year because we have great young players. Le Bris will have sold the project and our performances have made ‘if we go up we pay the fee’ a possible reality.

What players say during 'the scarf photo' is pleasing waffle for the fans and the media.

As you say there's no way a player like Le Fée would be going to Luton if Regis was there.

The quality of our squad, stadium, facilities and staff has already attracted the likes of Jobe, Amad, Isidor, etc.

Others are sure to follow.

This might be overthinking it, imo. Fact is, he got thrown into a new team, which didn't play to his strengths, in a much tougher league. It's no wonder he's struggled.

If he comes back he'd be surrounded by familiar faces, with a team who knows how to get the best out of him, and fans who all love him, playing against easier opposition. I'm pretty confident he'd be back to his old self in no time.

I'd hope you're right, mate, but it is something that needs to be considered. I've said before that I do believe in people playing devil's advocate and giving an opposing view at the very least so something is thought through fully.
 
I don't think Clarke is happening. I don't really see what Ipswich get out of the deal. Now if it was a loan to buy or even a straight up signing, I could see why they might offload him. But they're in a relegation scrap and there's the remote possibility that with an injury crisis or a turn around in fortune, Clarke could score a single goal for them that's the difference between staying up and not. Even if that's a 5% chance, it's still more valuable than loaning him out to Ipswich in my opinion.

You'd also have to consider that it would also look like an admission of a mistake by Ipswich, which could impact any future sale value if they want to move him on. A loan after coming back from injury could be understandable, but a loan due to poor form/not being able to settle? A club interested in taking him from them would certainly being in a better position to negotiate a smaller fee on those grounds.
