Breaking News Conor Clifford

[Ayrshire Blue]

Personally think he's better than that.

 

[Pubey]

It'll be interesting to see how he does playing regularly.

 

[Jam_Man]

Only a month? Assume that can be extended to the end of their season?

 

[chapperzUK]

Wonder why it is until the 7th March, seems like a random date.

Wonder why it is until the 7th March, seems like a random date.

7th March is a Saturday so gets an extra game in. Should play 5 games that way rather than 4. But if all goes well you can see him staying there for longer.

 

[Austin the Shrimper]

Wish him all the best, clearly not in Pb plans. Don't think we will see him again.

 

[KiwiRob]

Well, Martin Allen, the Barnet manager, is no fool and has a good eye for a player. I would not be surprised if Conor Clifford turns out to a very good loan signing for them.

The question is if Clifford starts performing well at Barnet under a manager who rates him will he still be given a chance at Southend by a manager who clearly does not.

 

[buffalowolf]

Only reason he gone to Barnet is because PB has no eye for a talented player,if he did he would be a regular in this SUFC side.
:winking:

 

[TrueBlue]

I think brown wants to see what the lad can do with regular football

 

[OldBlueLady]

If he can help Barnet get up then he'll pretty much be offered a contract I'd have thought. Allen will certainly know him and his style as he's a frequent visitor to Roots Hall. Best of luck to him.

Games I saw him play he did ok,never tore up trees but then again in those games nobody caught the eye.Barnet will be in league 2 next season so CC could well be playing against us:winking:

 

[Big Bad Barry Corr]

A shame. He always looked a decent player to me, especially in the early part of the season. Something more than what meets the eye here behind PB's decision to let him go. Still if we get promoted this season I suppose people will say it was a correct one. Good luck to Clifford though and I hope he does well at Barnet.

 

[Jam_Man]

I think the fact that Brown said when he made him available that if there are lots of league teams coming in for him it would show he made the wrong decision would imply that he didnt expect them to and just doesnt think he is good enough.

 

[Beefy]

I think it is a good move for him. Barnet are a good club and if he can force his way into the starting line-up there then it'll give him a great chance of getting a new league club at the end of the season.

Phil Brown: Conor Clifford needed to leave Southend United to kick start his career

SOUTHEND United manager Phil Brown insists the time was right for Conor Clifford to leave the club in order to kick start his career.

More...

 

[BARNETBLUE]

I think its a fair move for him, I think he has something to offer...A Chelsea fan asked me about him recently as big things were hoped for of him there...I will keep a local eye on him!

 

[mrsblue]

Phil signed him and now deems him not good enough,funny thing on the same day Phil signed another player and gushed "he is a goal scorer" whatever happened to Craig Reid.

I think Mourinho said something similar about André Schürrle. It didn't work out. And the 'goal scorer' Zaha just left Manchester United without significantly denting the first team. You don't like Brown, we get it. Apart from that, what's your point?

Possibly Phil is a bad judge of players !

I like Phil actually as he comes across as a jovial chappy so no malice from me toward him,I just question his decisions.

 

[Yer Blues]

Shame it didnt work out for him. I liked him.
