onmeedson Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 Needs a captain by his side, like gary cahill needs jt. Has passion but not leadership and without the experience of an organiser will be injury prone throughout his time at the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimzk5 Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 (edited) Controversial but I don't think he or baker are good enough and I'd love a new cb A year ago I would have agreed but I thought both, Clark in particular made strides in their performances, Clark really seemed to man up, the aggression he showed, he was a big miss at the end of the season. For me they've earned a place in tje squad, unless we have the funds to sign better replacements which I don't think we have Edited July 25, 2015 by Jimzk5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me they've earned a place in tje squad, unless we have the funds to sign better replacements which I don't think we have I agree. I'd be happy going into the season with Richards, Clark and Baker, with Okore due back in Sept. My only concern is the injury records of Okore and Baker. If there are the funds to bring in a 1st teamer, the great, but not at the expense of Clark. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has passion but not leadership and without the experience of an organiser will be injury prone throughout his time at the club. Don't agree with this. He seems to flourish when given a leadership role. And he has had very few injuries. Took a second look at your post, actually, as I wondered for a moment if you were talking about Clark, or somehow I had missed something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Albrighton Posted July 25, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted July 25, 2015 Alongside the more experienced Vlaar, Clark seemed to play like a mistake was not too far away. Alongside a more junior partner in Okore, the added responsibility he had seemed to improve his game massively. He'll still make the odd mistake, of course he will, but IMO he's gone from one of the first names I wanted to offload to one of the first names on the team sheet for me. His considerable improvement has made me try to be a bit more rational and patient about players before I write them off. I hope he continues to be a solid player for us. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matrim Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 He should be offered a contract and if he won't sign then I'd take the money from WBA. Better to get something now instead of lose him for nothing next year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest av1 Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 Controversial but I don't think he or baker are good enough and I'd love a new cb I agree, sadly he is the best we have at the moment IMO, so I'd personally like a couple of new Center backs.

AshVilla Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 There is still always the danger that him and Baker could revert to the chucklebrothers of yesteryear We really need another commanding CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 I still remember one of his first starts.. Kmac was in charge, it was milners last game... West ham at home. Clark marshalled that defence, telling everyone where to go and what to do. I thought we had a born leader coming through. Never seen him so authoritative since Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HAL Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 2 million for him is a insult and would never allow him to go for so little to the baggies even if we lose him on a free Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentVilla Posted July 25, 2015 Moderator Share Posted July 25, 2015 Controversial but I don't think he or baker are good enough and I'd love a new cb I agree, neither are that good. I can't help but think that Clark went up in a lot of peoples opinions for 'that' tackle but personally I'm still not convinced by him and I don't think he really improved all that much last season. We could and should do better because his lapses of concentration will cost us goals again this season. I wouldn't sell him for £2m but I'd take £5m and half their hand with it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 I think he went up slightly before that because he played a lot better than he did in previous seasons, he came in about November and was playing well albeit in a defensive system and that tackle was February I think it was I think he needs to show it wasnt just a blip in his form because I can understand why people are sceptical about calling him our best defender Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst probably true, for me Clark is still currently our best CB (though I think long term Okore will be very good) Says a lot about where the club finds its self player wise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could and should do better because his lapses of concentration will cost us goals again this season. I wouldn't sell him for £2m but I'd take £5m and half their hand with it. Likewise. He's had a good 4 to 6 months in 3 years. Both him and Baker make too many mistakes and are not quick enough. Their lack of pace is also not made up of a good reading of the game. We need to have better players. 7m and he can go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunnski Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 Clark was quality last season, barely put a foot wrong and was a real leader at the back. The question for me is who starts beside him... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
