    I know it's wiki but it says : Clarke signed for Charlton Athletic in June 2017 on a two-year deal ?.

    Apparently we were offered Connor Sammon and we turned it down.... only to bring in Billy Clarke..! Don’t get me wrong, Clarke is the better baller, but he is too similar to what we already have. At least Sammon would have offered something different from the bench or in games where we needed a bigger physical presence.

    Game against Wimbledon, to stay up, is going to be edgy.

    It’s true isn’t it? Out of contract in the summer, hence we why have signed him on a short term deal

    Just can't see past the misses in the play off final. ANY player, attacking midfielder or striker should have finished.... Not the signing most of us were hoping for

    I will probably get pelters for this, but my recollection of the play off final was that Clarke wasn't presented with an open goal. I seem to recall a defender chasing him down and a goalkeeper on the scene, who made a save. It wasn't a howler where he missed a gaping goal from two yards.

    Think what you want. But I was happy to see him move on... why would I be happy to see him come back?

    I honestly am not sure about that. Look at the top Premiership teams how many start with a ‘traditional’ Big Target Man?
    I think the days of Hanson style players are coming to their end. Mobility, great touch, speed and a football brain are far more important.
    Share those abilities, like the top clubs have (albeit at league 1 level) and I think there is space for Billy Clarke. As l said earlier, remaining injury free and doing a little to increase pace.
    Linford Christie won the Olympics when he was 32, and Alan Wells was 28 and that was a long time ago!

    It was a decent save to be fair.

    I was referring to your posts in general. Very negative. You need to lighten up a bit.

    My recollection is that he moved on for a transfer fee, so despite the ‘miss’, he was deemed worthy of a club paying money for him. True or not true?

    What was his record over the last 3yrs? I recall a player coming to us with a good career record, that had done nothing for the 3yrs before. Remember Aaron Mclean?

    He had a misplaced 'ring of confidence', so did the club in signing him.
