Steve Clarke

[Hugo Sanjeev]

Just did a quick search on him and found out that he is 6ft 1.

 

Is he a good passer of the ball?

 

Is he more of a creative midfielder or a goalscoring midfielder, or both?

If you're talking about Ness, then the very few games I've seen him play in, he's been played in an anchor role in the centre of the park. He looks to be a composed type of player, who is more footballer than athlete, if you get what I mean?

So probably not the quickest?

 

Is he comparable to any current CMs, whichever league they may be playing in?

As I said, I've not seen much of him, but my initial thought was that he was similar in style to Busquets, obviously no where near the same standard. This may just be down to the role he was asked to play in the games that I've seen, though I'm sure those who've watched him far more than myself would be able to provide you with a more accurate comparison.

[Hugo Sanjeev]

I always preferred Eric Black and John Hewitt to Googsie, but your point is valid seeing as Strachan ended up playing for the Mancs, where as the two I mentioned never really kicked on.

 

I also always had a soft spot for Stewart McKimmie. A no nonsense right back who probably could have gone on to bigger and better things had he ever made the journey south.

 

Another Scotsman in my opinion who could almost be put in the same bracket as Dalglish, Souness, Hansen and Cooper, was Paul McStay, who only ever played for Celtic. Outstanding in the centre of the park back in his day, and someone I always enjoyed watching. I'm sure many Rangers fans would disagree, and those who do agree, do so through gritted teeth.

 

I thought of McStay as I was mentioning Gary McAllister because I knew he was highly thought of in Scotland. I didn't realise though that he was that good and highly rated.

[Hugo Sanjeev]

Leeds Utd's Glaswegian Robert Snodgrass is making a bit of a name for himself.

[Allan]

The best young Scottish player of this current generation is James McCarthy, even though he switched allegiance to Ireland. Hopefully he'll see sense and switch back to the country of his birth, as he's only ever played in friendlies for the Republic....

[Hugo Sanjeev]

I've never seen him play, didn't ex West Ham and Celtic striker Frank McAvennie have a fair bit of natural talent?

6 clean sheets out of 9 games since Steve has been here.

Boss. Fuckin love Pepe

[Duff Man]

Does he ever smile? He's either really, really professional or just a bit of a mardy bum. Couldn't even muster a grin when the Kop were singing happy birthday. Cheer up, la!

 

 

[Funkasy]

maybe he has yellow teeth ?

[WaltonRed]

He's a dour jock

[Guest simon]

One of our best signings this season.

[RobbieOR]

He was celebrating after the first goal today.

[StevieH]

One of our best signings this season.

 

He certainly has been.

 

What is the situation with his contract, is it until the end of the season or beyond that? If it is only until the end of the season then we need to get him signed up now. If there is a change of manager at Stamford Bridge in the near future then I can see them trying to get Clarke to go back, or if Mourinho returns to England then I can see him wanting Clarke alongside him again.

It's a temporary contract with the same finish date as Kennys current one.

 

I'd hope and expect that the day Kennys full time 2 year contract is confirmed that we hear a day later that Clarke has got a 2 year deal also.

It's till the end of the season but he was told when he signed the club wanted him long term even if Kenny didn't stay on.

 

Apparently the club didn't want to give him a longer deal than Kenny as it could look like they were undermining him.

[rebel23]

need to get him and Kenny signed up ASAP before they get poached, have we learned nothing about contracts from the good old days when Parry was in charge

[Guest TK-421]

Kenny doesn't get poached, he's ours.

[Anubis]

Clarke is bad cop to Kenny's good cop. Even at 3-0 up he was sat there, scowling. They make a good team.

[VladimirIlyich]

Give them both 2 year contracts NOW!

[MLB]

We definitely need to offer him a good contract asap. He has done brilliantly since he came in.

[Deepz]

Give them both 10year contracts NOW!

 

Fixed

[BurtReynolds]

Have no fear fellow reds Kenny is nailed on for a contract.
