I think what Richard is saying is that he doesn't expect him to end up at a top Premier League club. That's the point. Although if I was mischievous I might say that captaining his country seems a distinct possibility Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wouldn't take much for him to get back there and who know what is possible from there if things go his way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What gave you that impression? He's gone backwards over the last 18 months after a spell of looking decent for approximately 5 games in 4 years.

dubliner Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Delighted we're getting £5m for him as every game is a nervy one when he's playing. That being said he always gave everything for the shirt, which is a hell of a lot more than can be said for certain players with far more natural ability than him but who ended up looking every bit as weak on the pitch week in, week out. Best of luck to him. Hope the move works out well 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought he was coming into himself at CB in 13/14 alongside Okore when Lambert split them up to reintroduce Baker. Then Sherwood came in with Richards and Lescott and he hasn't looked the same player since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigCarew Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 The goal at Tottenham away in the first two minutes where his defending was not worth 5 million... let alone 1 million. Good riddance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's meant to be 14/15 and his last match alongside Okore was late in the season so it's been just over a year. Like I said he hasn't looked like the same player since and has done very little but it wouldn't take much for him to get back there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the end of 2014 because Lambert was still in charge and wasn't it Vlaar that he brought back in ahead of Clark? Either way, Clark has done sweet FA for at least 20 months soo....
