    Even less inspiring than signing Levi Sutton. Completely justifies my application for a refund of the ST money.

    I'd argue he will make more of an impact than Akpan - Anderson etc that he replaces .

    If we bring in other quality I'm ok with Billy, thought he caused us some problems at VP when he played for Grimsby and I genuinely hope he can get JV in amongst the goals.

    A decent bloke, not sure where he fits in. At least he brings the average age down....

    Brilliant signing in my view. Might not start every week but a very useful player to have around.

    Well people say they want possession football rather than long ball and Billy Clarke is well suited to that. He Keeps possession well but he is not a striker he is more of an advanced midfielder

    Awful, backwards signing.

    I wouldn't necessarily go as far as to say brilliant signing, but I don't think its a desperate one. If he is fit enough he can definitely do some sort of job for us

    Useful in what way?

    Queue the God-awful weekly, never ending debate about how he's not a striker and not a midfielder and we have to build the team around a 30+ year old.

    Ridiculous signing.

    Good number 10, creative, good character, better than McCartan (who was his replacement a couple of year ago!). Ticks a lot of boxes for me considering a lot of players we’ve had in the last 2 years.

    Did you watch him here last time with your eyes closed.

    Let's not get this twisted..He's McCall's mate and it's a mate signing. Billy Clarke isn't good enough.

    Any others out there who love the club and will give 110% for the shirt make a beeline for McCalls office, strictly first come first signed till the budget runs out. Only requirements are a tenuous link with the club and/or manager.

    Yet that was a while a go meanwhile he played well last season probably a better judge of his form

    For me his legs had gone in his last stint with us but if we can get some legs in and around him maybe do ok.

    The one thing with Billy least he wants to be at the club and this has to be a positive.
