Jordon a target for Ipswich (3 Viewers)

[jesus-wept]

Little snippet from inside the Sky Blue camp that Ipswich Town made a late attempt to sign Jordan Clarke

[ccfclinney]

Should of sold him.. Not good enough for cb and defiantly not a striker

 

[CJ_covblaze]

More than capable in his actual position though.

 

[ccfclinney]

Been a while since I seen him there but I don't feel Christie is championship level. I think Phillips should be replacement for Christie when he leaves. Can't see where Clarke will fit in

 

[JWC]

We'd be mad to offload Clarke, decent cover in so many positions in an already paper thin squad

 

[ricohman]

What is it with ipswitch and trying to snipe our players recently

 

[RoboCCFC90]

We need to keep all of our squad in tact, we can't afford to let anyone go with the numbers we have, Jordan is a good RB at this level, but it's unfortunate that the best RB at this level is at the same Club..

I think Jordan makes way too many mistakes even at this level as a defender. I think young Phillips is who should be prepared at right back for next season.

 

[Johnrambo]

Pretty stupid to sell any players, we have such a small squad.

 

[TrueSkyBlueLiam]

He's not a striker, why SP is playing there is beyond me. Couldn't think of a worse position for him. He's a decent centre-back and right-back but he makes too many mistakes, rather like Nathan Cameron. If focusses and clamps down on these errors he can be a great player but right now, the champ is not the league for him

 

[JWC]

I think he did ok when he came on up front at orient, held the ball up at least and gave our defence a break. More than the other two did. We made some of our best attacking moves after he came on. Not an out and out striker agreed, but he did well I thought

 

[wingy]

If there was genuine Interest from Ipswich It suggests they think more of him than SP and many of us which Is Interesting.personally i don't particularly think he's a disaster ,we still seem prone to ship a couple of goals most games.

 

[Dimi_Konstantflapalot]

As someone else said, if he cuts out the errors he can be a very good player at this level for us. Technically he is streets ahead of Christie, and probably not all that much slower. Agree with JWC, he did hold the ball up reasonably v Orient and gave Moussa more help to run through from behind him.

 

[SkyBlueBlood]

If they had offered a week ago, I think the club may have considered. The problem with a late offer is that we would not be in a position to find a replacement.

No-one said where this snippet is from....I have a reliable source who has informed me this snippet comes from the bullshit times!

Our best run of results all season was with Jordan Clarke in the side. Our only clean sheets this season have been with Clarke at centre back. It's not like we've tightened up that much with him out of the side, yet he still seems to be the fall guy for our defensive frailty.

Personally think we're very lucky to have such a technically proficient, academy-produced player on the books.

You his best mate?

More chance if Moussa going to Everton I reckon

 

[TrueSkyBlueLiam]

But also the majority of defensive errors have come from Jordan. A lot of cheap and avoidable goals have been conceded after an error from Jordan. Like I said, if he cuts out the errors he can be a very valuable member of the squad, but right now I'd rather have Seabourne and Webster, 2 more consistent Centre Backs

Agreed- too often the fall guy- unjustified on many occasions..... by no means the best central defender... but he's a 3rd division footballer....reality check right there.

You got me! I did play cricket with him as a kid. Haven't spoken to him for almost 10 years now though.

I see what you're saying, but I think that's more because of his style of play rather than his quality as a defender.

If your centre back knocks the ball long out of the back, it can invite pressure as more often than not you'll be giving the ball back to the opposition. Clarke prefers to bring the ball down and play out. It works well as a pressure reliever, but if he does give the ball away it's a very noticeable/memorable error, so it sticks in the mind.

Easy to forget how young he is as well. The important thing in my view is that he learns from his mistakes, improves his decision-making etc. I really do think there's a lot to work with, and Pressley is the man to do it.

We're a better side with him at centre back. He starts attacks whereas Webster and Seabourn are hoof merchants.

 

[1966skyblue]

More likely to make a mistake but much better passer. Can see him going back to right back when Christie goes.

 

[ccfc unlimited]

were a better side with him in the team without a doubt. Has got his teammates out of the shit on countless occasions, covered for those who have let us down and get shit for it....give the lad a fkin break a player not a hoofer ..better passer i agree majority of his passes reach their intended target unlike a number of his team mates.

It's our high quality training -- MM is an SP wannabe

 

[CJ_covblaze]

I do find it harsh that so many have criticised him this season but he's played in virtually every position possible besides his natural one. Fair play to him Macfarlane and Pressley for trying in different areas though.

I think he's more than useful in at least two of these areas and the squad would be far poorer without him.

i could play in every position for cov,so could you . doesnt mean we would be exempt from criticism.

yeah that SP fella knows nothing.

I do get your point however it's unfair judge a player if they're not playing in their preferred position. When he was at full back he looked good, in other areas he looks useful. Needs to be given a chance imo.

 

[hill83]

covcity4life just hates him because he wouldn't hold his hand last time they went shopping.
I'd leave it if I was you.

he got plenty of criticism at RB too, no smoke without fire and all that, he obviously is not everyone's cup of tea. nothing but respect for his endevour this year though, just cant understand people who play the bully card every time someone ciritcises him or then go on another thread and will call barton a bag of shit etc.

 

[torchomatic]

Gotta say. Not fussed about JC. I really have lost count of the amount of times his mistakes have led to goals for the oppo.

you big bully,you must have irrational hatred for him!

 

[torchomatic]

Next time I see him in his Range Rover Evoque I'll stick my tongue out at him and call him a girl.

[Grendel]

If it's true and a fee was involved he should have gone - his career has gone backwards. He is the one player who actually played better with thorn in charge. What that says, hell knows.
