Please tell me your talking about him discussing terms with Killie and not the Dons.

Spoke with Aberdeen but no idea if any kind of terms were or weren't discussed. Just that at this stage no offer been made.

where did you hear this OWS or do I need a wooooosh

[Old Wing Stand]

where did you hear this OWS or do I need a wooooosh

 

Heard it from an ex player who still has mates at Pittodrie the same one who told me about Fosters row with JC after the QoS game.

no reason to doubt you OWS

 

I suppose we will see soon enough.

[vanderark14]

Yes, let's go back to the peely wally pish that wasn't good enough 4 years ago and isn't good enough now.

 

Would not be inspired whatsoever by Clark returning.

 

we have fallen very far in 4 years...............

[Sheeptastic]

Would put in a decent shift in a number of positions. Wouldn't be the worst signing but nothing to excite either.

[Jack_Glass]

would not be happy bringing Clark back, unless he's somehow got much better during his time away, for me this signing reeks of desperation, he should be a bench warmer at best, surely we have better options and something more exciting out there

[vanderark14]

Yep, we won f**k all four years ago either no thanks to Clark.

 

Clark was an absolute pansy when played in the centre of midfield and lived off one decent cross against Caley about 12 years ago.

 

Was it 200k odd we got for him? No wonder Plymouth went down the shitpipe.

 

I'm not saying he's a saviour for us or anything like that but I don't think it's a disaster if he does sign.

 

I suppose we will see soon enough

I actually think that had we kept Clark and Hart till the end of the season, the QotS would not have happened, and we would have made far more than we took in their transfer fees.

The ONLY reason I can see this happening is that he can play in several positions - full back, wide mid and centre mid.

Handy sub to have as he can cover various players.

I'm TRYING to be positive

[ollie1903]

Never rated him first time round. He ran about a lot, and, mmm, ran about some more.

[Tord31]

Chris clark wouldn't be the worst signing in the world but its pretty uninspiring stuff. Can appreciate he would be arite in the spl though and we are struggling for wide players and he is better than young and better than aluko 4 games out of 5.

[Dandyjam]

Completely underwhelmed by this.

 

Is that Aluko's replacement then? Certainly one of the wide positions covered but surely there are better options out there.

[Sheeptastic]

Wouldn't be too bothered at all with Clark on the right wing but that is just one position of many that needs to be filled.

 

Competent player and hard worker although he never did have much of an end product and scored about once every four years with a deflection. Times are tough and if we do need a bit of cheap capable experience. Clark fits that bill.

[vanderark14]

Not a disaster as such as he's not a bombscare or anything, it'd just be a lazy signing and wouldn't be a massive improvement on what we've seen in recent years.

 

Happy to be proved wrong if he signs though.

 

I reckon he would improve last season joke side. certainly has a better attitude.

[vanderark14]

So a higher paid version of Derek Young?

 

Personally think there's a huge gap between what we saw last season and what we as Aberdeen fans should be expecting, Clark falls in between that gap. Probably an improvement in some ways, but don't expect us to zip up the league just because we've got Clark instead of Young.

 

he's a better player than Derek Young as far as I'm concerned, his passing and movement off the ball is much better for a start.

 

there's no way we will be zipping up the league just because he signs, if he does. its an improvement which is a start, we can't expect miracles overnight.

The best thing you can say is that he's versatile, and with a paper thin squad its handy to have one of them on your squad.

IF he's a squad filler/bench warmer then fine.

If he's a first pick every week, then another season of mediocrity awaits.

PS - Where's this stellar signing Broon was going on about when Hartley retired?!

[Sheeptastic]

Confirmed by Liam McLeod.

[Bebo]

So he's now officially signed.

[King Street Loon]

Confirmed by Liam McLeod.

What's confirmed??

[Sheeptastic]

What's confirmed??

Sorry, wrong thread. Chris Clark has turned down Kilmarnock to sign for us.

The negatives with Clark?

31 in September, and a rank rotten goals/games ratio. 1 every 30 games FFS.

Still, would rather have him than they guy from the non league whose name and club I've forgotten already!

[paddy]

no thanks. uninspired signing. didnt rate him before - doubt i would rate him now.

 

hopefully this wont be brooners 'marque' signing.

[King Street Loon]

Meh.

 

The return of the player I hated.

Many's a time "for f**k sake Clark" could be heard coming from my mouth.

 

I suppose he's versatile enough and could do a job at fullback or left mid.

 

Meh.

[Sheeptastic]

It's a safe reliable signing and one I will accept, providing we see 3 or 4 more faces to the ones already confirmed (Mawene, Gonzalez, Clark).

[Sheeptastic]

Does anyone have a clue how the first 11 will look come the first day of the season? No idea who's going to play where.

[mavv1903]

MMMmm

 

Going backwards instead of forwards then....Never rated him that much before....A squad player at best...But i am willing to give him the benefit of the doubt and see him on the pitch again before passing more of a judgement.
