I doubt he's going to be curled up in the dressing room every day blasting Sparklehorse, crying. I really doubt he will be fine like after being left out of the squad.

Village Idiot Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 (edited) 1 hour ago, SAK said: Would be pretty brutal to exclude him from training. Keeps him part of the group which is good for his well-being and team morale (would affect others seeing a team mate banished), suppose it’s also another body for training matches and tactical drills. I don't know in the UK, but in Spain preventing a player with a senior contract from training with the first team squad will get you in trouble with the PFA.

jackyboy Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 I'm sure that being left out of the squad will have come as no surprise to him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
St. Maximin Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 8 hours ago, Mazzy said: I think before the Norwich incident he was barely in the minds of most people barring complaining about why he was in the team. That red card against Norwich was the last straw for most (including me). Could easily be the difference between staying up this season or not. Yeah but that’s the silly thing. Before that he was just crap but inoffensive. He made one stupid decision in the heat of the moment (not the first or last person to in this team) and all of a sudden people have used that as an excuse to give him loads of abuse. Yeah we dropped points, but that wouldn’t have mattered if the team in general hadn’t been crap for most of the season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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...

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...

OCK 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.

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...
