STM Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 Just now, reefatoon said: Not what I was saying though. Players won’t be busting a gut in training if there is no point, they’ll just go through the motions. I just can’t see how that can be beneficial for anyone involved. It’s a bit of a weird situation altogether really. Having players there that have no chance of playing is just an odd concept. Like I've suggested. Give him a mutual termination. Pay his wages. Let him leave and decide his future. Him wasting his finally years at our training ground is really no good for anyone. If he's interested in coaching, I'd let him learn alongside our coaches. At least then he would be contributing something worthwhile. He's not a bad guy though. Far from it. He must be gutted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt he's going to be curled up in the dressing room every day blasting Sparklehorse, crying. Yeah, and all he has to do to cheer himself up is look at his bank balance.

LRD Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 He is not a negative influence despite his mishandling of high pressure match moments. No point freezing him out as it may affect some of his teammates. Let him train with the squad, show him what he is missing out so he considers a move in the summer. At the same time, it shows a presence to the rest that if they do not perform, they will be next. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 Clark helped us in the Championship and did as well as he could, he looked really comfortable on the ball and scored a few good goals too. The last few seasons though have been rough. He's 32, which isn't super old, but yeah it is what it is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 Can de-registered players not play with the reserves? Clark has never really come across as a cunt to me. Silly mistakes on the pitch but always seems professional. Think he would be fine helping the kids through when playing for the reserves. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barnes23 Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 Not sure I'd be wanting him if I was a championship club honestly, not if I'd spent any length of time watching him at NUFC the last couple of seasons. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 Another one who should’ve been moved on before now and was shown to be not good enough last season. However, he did a great job in the championship and helped consolidate us back in the PL - and was always good for a goal. Good luck to him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUPERTOON Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 Will remember him for his sending off against Norwich and his sending off in a friendly in Saudi Arabia for punching an opponent. Was good in the championship and absolutely hopeless in the premier league Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

54 Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 He was our player of the season in the Championship, and in the Premier League under Rafa became a dependable squad player, should have moved on 2/3 years ago as he regressed but as with all our outgoings isn't there fault that didn't happen. Will be remembered for being sent off and turning Joelinton into Prime Viera, but wish him well and have no real Ill will towards him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 He was one of my favourite players for about 12 months. I always felt that he made Lascelles look good. Nothing but respect for him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yes, a good player for us at the time and in the situation we were in. I'd love to see him have some late success with an ambitious Championship team.

ponsaelius Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 Opinions of these kind of players are going to be unfairly tainted because they were kept on far too long due to poor management of the club. He was genuinely a really solid signing who has ended up staying here 6 years instead of 3. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fucking tosser for getting sent off, can’t believe he did that - absolute moron. fucking amazing insight for sacrificing himself with that red card knowing that’s the start of a new chapter for joelington - absolute genius.
