Found this when I was looking for the Barry Fry talksport interview, worth a read.

Personally, I think Clint improved last year, he gets better and more confident with age maybe, and I think he's a clever player, reads the game well. He'll always lack a bit of pace, but if he improves again he could do OK in the prem.

will pick up a few red cards in the prem for pulling down those wingers he cant catch...i.e. all of them

tbh... the thougt of clint facing a pacy prem-level winger, say nani or walcott, does give me sleepless nights.

I'd add Matt Connolly to this. Remember what Dave Kitson did to him at Pompey away?

I wouldn't worry about Walcott too much yes he'll outpace Clint but then what ? end product poor, couldn't cross his arms. Headless chicken with limited football brain. I hard but fair challenge from our Clint and he's the sort who will have little interest in going back for more.

He played for Stoke until 2007, in 2004/05 he was their POTY, so they have short memories. The problem was clearly injuries and he didn't follow through his 04/05 season as a result. Hill is a player who has improved with age in the opinion of coaches that have followed his career. As for the injury curse, well Warnock was told he was a fool for taking his to Palace because he was a crock and he then played 40+ matches for them in the CCC followed by 40+ for us there last year.
