cockneyrobin Posted September 15, 2011 Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 He was never an out and out striker. When he played behind the front two last year, he chipped in with a few goals and assists. Far worse players in our squad than Clarky IMO Good luck to him.

BITW Posted September 15, 2011 Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 A neat footballer lacking pace always made him dependent of a footballing side. Could still do a job as offensive central midfielder. All the best Clarky. Not so long ago you described him as a 'dead fish'. Now he's a neat player? What changed?

Esmond Million's Bung Posted September 15, 2011 Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 And that would be? I can never remember who signed who.......... The same person who signed Maynard even though the forum online managers claimed the fee was far too much, the same person who signed Fontaine a player we were recently offered 1 miil for, the same person who signed Nyatanga who is suddenly finding his young feet, the same person who signed Elliott a mainstay and probably the only goal threat in our midfield and the same person who signed JCR a player who has been roundly criticised especially by you before he became Millens left sided saviour after the failure of his own left sided signing.

bristolcitysweden Posted September 15, 2011 Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 Fair enough. He is extremely slow. I'm sorry for having called players "dead fish".

Pub banter is not for a discussion forum. No need to apologize. Just thought there was a significant difference between a dead fish and a neat player, and so I wondered what changed your opinion of him.

always hoping Posted September 15, 2011 Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 Pretty obvious who the players who've refused to go out on loan are now, isn't it?

dafarms Posted September 15, 2011 Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 I hope Clarkey goes there, and does brilliant, and that goes for any of our players who go out on loan. This will hopefully mean the loan club and the player want to make it permenant. The other factor could be the other club cannot aford the player but he comes back full of confidense, and does the business for us if called upon.

Pederho ll Posted September 15, 2011 Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 Clarkson is vastly under rated in my opinion. I sincerely hopes he scores a few goals, which l have no doubt he will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REDOXO Posted September 15, 2011 Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 Clarkson was always best playing behind a front one/two...What Gary Johnson always thought of as a luxury position. Good Luck to the boy, I suspect a trip back to Scotland is in his medium term future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garland-sweden Posted September 15, 2011 Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 Nice touches, bit too slow needs pace around him 7 goals laesonns. I think he is a good player. Were now in rhe rlegation zone. Think we have to try some new options. Skuce Elliot we dont score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Horsman Posted September 15, 2011 Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 Probably one of the worse forwards City have ever had. Can you even class him as a striker? Has no pace, strength no nothing. I'll be surprised if he even gets 1 goal during his month spell there. this is a wind up right?? In the last 5-6 years alone, Stewart, Bridges, Savage, Quinn, Smith, John, Maierhofer, Keogh and Agyemang spring to mind as strikers who were worse than Clarky in City's colours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We payed 800k for the lad, for that amount you would hope for a good striker, not great but good. Clarkson's a poor footballer and has done nothing in his career here. The worse point is, last season after playing well for a few games people wanted City to give him a new contract! He was a terrible signing and we will probably only get around 200k for him.

Red-Robbo Posted September 15, 2011 Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 Very reasonable playing behind a front two, but sadly never utilised much in this role. I agree with those who say he is under-rated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcfcnick Posted September 15, 2011 Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 An intelligent player who scores goals and creates assists - just what the team is lacking at the moment. If we are playing one up front then we are crying our for a creative midfielder who can chip in with goals. I said before the start of the season that there weren't enough goals in the side and for that reason alone I'd play Clarkson - probably instead of Kilkenny. Plus team spirit can't be under-estimated and I don't think Kilkenny adds much on that front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

always hoping Posted September 15, 2011 Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 Where have you heard that buddy?? Doesn.t really matter, but it is true and should be considered before people like Graham C, who appears to weald insder knowledge, try to incite negative reactions from the fans. Wish this site spent more time trying to encourage fans and players to succeed and enjoy our time in the Championship. City is a good club, just going through a difficult period. The board will do its best to help the club recover and grow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bard Posted September 15, 2011 Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 Teddy Sheringham wasn't quick either. I was lucky enough to watch him score 2 of the goals when we took the Dutch to the cleaners in Euro 96. We had a proper side then. Back to Clarkson. The money side of this is largely irrelevant. We'll probably recoup about 4 days worth of Nicky Hunt's wages. In footballing terms, it could be significant should he do well. If we continue to struggle to score, he could well come back and get a place in the squad after his month. We need a player like him in the side.
