Leon Clarke and Rory Fallon

[ozzy-shrimper]

I would take either over Blair any day. Maybe take one on with the view to releasing Blair?

"Total idiot" seems harsh. As I said in the other thread, I personally sympathise with his position from the other night which seemed like shocking man management from the Swindon coaching staff, to me.

Indeed. I would be amazed if Di Canio is still there come xmas time.

 

[Jam_Man]

I was actually referring to his time here....

Of all the gambles to take, Leon Clarke would be the one, Let's see, Blair sturrock or Leon Clarke upfront? provided Luggy can sort his head out of course! We couldnt fit the wage bill anyway.

If we are talking about the Leon Clarke that strolled about the pitch in his final game for us (was it Donny away?) before being subbed then I'd even take Paul Sturrock over him!

One word - wages.....:sad:

This for me the biggest problem. Harris, Dickinso and Corr must make up a large chunk of the wages. Loved Clarkey in his day but expect money is tight and neither Fallon or Clarke will come cheap.

 

[Angell Delight]

I can't imagine that Yeovil were paying a fortune, and he's pretty much a journeyman player, and he's now unemployed. Having said that as Timlin is direct replacement for N'Daiye, I can't see us taking on any more players unless they're loanees if we have an injury crisis.

Which we do. We have no strikers! But I highly doubt we'll be signing anyone on loan due to the wage budget.

If I remember rightly, Clarke left a bad taste in the mouth when he left here - everywhere he goes he leaves under a cloud - surely some of this is his fault ? there is a reason he is without a club in the 4th tier of english football despite all the talent.

Di Canio was pretty scathing about LC on SSN earlier. Said he wanted to leave as it's too much like hard work at STFC and that he is laziest players he's cone across... And as a result he kicked off the other night when Di Canio was apparently (?!) being totally reasonable!

 

[BARNETBLUE]

Leon Clarke...Has completely wasted his talent,is trouble and such a stupid shame...I was surprised he was signed by QPR anyway...Fallon;No not now...Remember his Dad FWIW,thought him one of the worst players of that era!

 

[Cockle43]

How about Bilel and Clarke up front ? Mad brothers.com

They'd end up fighting each other........

But seriously, after his attitude in his last game for us I wouldn't want to see him anywhere near one of our shirts, showed total disrespect that day not just to the club but also to the fans who follow it. Should we throw a lifebelt to a Billy Big Bollocks who did that now he's burnt all his boats elsewhere? For me, sorry, that's a big NO, let him stew. :thumbdown:

 

[GrumpyBlue]

Leon has been told to find a new club when the loan window opens by swindon. While Fallon has been released early by Yeovil! Possibilities?

No - we have a big injured lump (Corr) already :winking:

Sounds about right, always has been a lazy ****, now he's just a has been :thumbdown:

 

[Dick Bate's Protege]

IMO Sturrock seems to be fighting a battle to enforce discipline upon the squad, I don't think throwing Clarke into the mix is a good idea. Shame really, he'd probably suit our recent aerial style of play. As for Fallon, I think God had it right the first time; no thanks.

 

[Suffolk Shrimper In Dorset]

Ho way to both. The key part of the battle at this level is squad motivation and fitness. Both would be negative influences on these.

 

[superblue24]

Would mean shipping a forward out and as all our strikers are red hot banging in the goals at the moment I cant see it happening.

Really?

Dickinson 2 (+ 1 JPT)
Phillips 2
Hall 1
Leonard 1

 

[OldBlueLady]

Saw the recirded coverage of what happened with Di Canio and Clarke and I'm not at all surprised Clarke lost it with him, Di Canio kept pulling him about and Clarke kept saying "don't touch me" or words to that effect.

As to Clarke or Fallon, I'd be happy to take either of them on a month's wages to cover our lack of fit strikers situation and to enable them to put themselves in the shop window. I'd absolutely trust Sturrock and Coughlan to handle either of them...or both come to that!

 

[Shrimper2thecore]

Leon - No

Fallon - Yes

 

[Rusty Shackleford]

I still find it incredible that Clarke is only remembered for his shambolic performance against Doncaster rather than his superb goalscoring record during his loan spell. We are told that Luggy is an excellent man manager, let him prove it by bringing out the best in a player who should be way too good for this level.

 

[ooh-andy-ansah]

Di Canio is a passionate hot headed Italian yes but looking at this it appears it's Clarke that over reacted ?
