Re: is Clark too slow?
I’m the mass exodus thread, BM suggested a whisper that Clark had his papers stamped. 4 touches in the second half after 16 in the first, a recurring pattern May be indicative of a fitness issue which has followed Clark around for several years.

Re: is Clark too slow?
Didn’t he crack the sads last season after his exit interview when he was told he needed to work harder, get fitter etc?

Re: is Clark too slow?
Horribly slow unfortunately. Excellent vision but the trait in a midfielder that's worse than slow is no agility. He's got the turning circle of Dougal - no good when you need to turn on a dime to get out of trouble in congestion.6621104 wrote: ↑Fri 04 Aug 2023 8:02pm whilst a wonderful inside player with skills on both sides, and vision hard to teach , is his lack of pace a limiting issue that makes trade talks understandable? I remember in the North game how easily Tarryn Thomas motored away from Clark as he ran in to score a goal. Clark has a loping running style great for a marathon runner but , perhaps, not suited to the modern game?

Re: is Clark too slow?
So which one is it BM?
Do you actually know he wants out or are you just speculating?

Re: is Clark too slow?
I have been consistent
I think he’s a good player - courage and skill
I think he’s a terrible athlete and presents in poor condition
I think he wants out
I think the coach is happy for him to go

Re: is Clark too slow?
Don’t know what?
Read the post above
I have been consistent on that viewpoint for 3-4 years
Is it difficult to comprehend
Is he a good player - yes
Is he a good athlete- no
Is he leaving - yes

Re: is Clark too slow?
No,
I was always a fan of his ability and critical of his professionalism
He presented poorly as a pro athlete
I have thought he will go at the end of this season since he tried to get out of his contract last season

Re: is Clark too slow?
You know he has since come out in media claiming he’s keen to stay?
I think it’ll come down to the club wanting him
I’d keep I think he is a different mid type we don’t have
But he has had umpteenth years to get fit and hasn’t ..
