Clarke

Trust Warnock....

[stanley75]

I have friends who own a nightclub in Wolverhampton where he is often to be found. Still. Tis also one of the reasons I have seen plenty of him play (when he gets on the pitch that is).

[QPR1234]

i think he is rubbish.. but ill let leon prove me wrong

[Rebel R's]

With Clarke,you REALLY have to just trust NW,on paper he appears completly sh*te,but obviously Neil has a role for him

What exactly had DJ Campbell achieved in football before his 25th birthday? Not a lot. I'm not going to say he's achieved a lot now but his career has flourished later on in life. Clarke hasn't achieved a great deal either but with the right manager pulling the strings I'll wait till I write him off.

No it's not just you.

But people are more likely to take a minute out of their lives to type to make a comment about how "crap" they think someone is, or how unimpressed they are about stuff... than others are to say how they are ok with it, and willing to see how it goes.

It's the way these boards are... and if people want to chuck a few toys out of their prams a few times a week, then these are the places to do that, I suppose.
Opinions are fine. But it doesn't seem fine for some people to see an opinion about their opinion. (confusing!)

And my opinion is that too many fans are giving verdicts on players that they know very little about, and stating their opinion as fact.
And making sweeping statements about the "lack of ambition" and poor signings... when it is still May, and the play-offs for this season haven't even been sorted out yet!



As for Leon Clarke, he might be sh*t, or he might buck his ideas up and release the potential that saw Warnock take a "gamble" on him.
Hit and miss so far in his career, but could be a half decent player under the right manager. It happens.

[Robsondinho]

Never seen him play, never heard of him before he signed...so I will wait and see before I comment.

Robbo Robbo Robbo...

Warnock will get the best out of him.

Wish more people would have your attitude.

Most people automatically assume someone is rubbish because they haven't heard of them.

[stanley75]

equally some people defy all evidence to assert that some players will magically change. If it has previously swum like a duck, looked like a duck and quacked, chances are its a duck. You may believe it will become a swan but those of us that see it on the evidence presented are the ones I'd trust to buy dinner.

[MYU]

Yeah but some people use wiki or youtube and it tell them all about that player...

[Robsondinho]

Never seem him play fishy, so will wait and see before I can say if his good or not.

Whats new anyways?

No problem with those who've seen ENOUGH of the player to make a judgement. It's the people who've seen him once or not seen him at all and think that they can form an opinion of him.

[stanley75]

Indeed some people might. And some people don't If that is meant to imply I have scoured the web to take a negative view of Clarke then you are wrong. I've seen him play a goodly number of times. Including his one outing for us incidently. But that is not really the point. In fact you have to watch him loitering up the top end with little threat or intent (but plenty of getting the team caught offside when they break again) to get the full Clarke picture. My very great regret is my experience may soon be shared with you all. He's woeful.

You may well be right.

But Warnock doesn't agree, and thinks he might be an under-achiever who could have decent ability and the raw materials, if he sorts out his mind and attitude, more than anything else.

So I'll go with Warnock on this, and wait and see.
No offence.
