New Striker - Billy Clarke signs

[Knibbsworth]

I expect Argyle would have needed to pay the remainder of Dyson’s contract- or at least the majority of it.

Even if that is the case, it frees up a space on the wage bill in terms of Financial Fair Play regulations.

Seems a David Goodwillie type of striker, which may well suit Lowe’s system.

I’m still convinced that David Goodwillie is one of the best players we’ve had in the last 7 or 8 years. On a wavelength the rest of the term weren’t. Very clever. Massively misused & underused.

Hopefully if Clarke comes we can make more use of him!

Fully agree about Goodwillie, I thought similar about Stevie Crawford.

 

[JannerinCardiff]

5`7`striker scored 2 goals in 39 games over 2 years has had serious knee injuries ruptured ACL in both knees. Will be 32 in December.

Totally underwhelming. Better prospects in non-league.

I’d really like Asante from Chester, he’s a really good player..

 

[Cobi Budge]

Now confirmed.

Welcome Billy.

A proven, experienced option up top and the sort of player who fits with Lowe’s system.

 

[PL2 3DQ]

Welcome aboard the good ship Mayflower!

He's available to play today.

Oh Billy Billy :scarf:

 

[arrythewurzel]

Feels like a ‘manager under severe pressure’ signing and they don’t tend to work out. Bit desperate by all accounts. I know the transfer limitations but sometimes it’s best not to panic and to try and make the most of what you have.

He had a few nice quick feet touches in the box when he came on.

He wears his socks like Pilgrim Pete, so I now have a pet nickname for him.

 

[ealinggreen]

Looked like they struggled to find a pair of shorts for his enormous arse. He is clearly overweight.

how do you know what his normal weight is.

 

[Willis88]

I thought he looked really assured and controlled on the ball.

Had a fair few touches when he came on and the vast majority of his passes got to their target and most were forward.

Few more games to get his fitness back and he'll be a good little nugget for us.

Agreed, his first touch was excellent and will be interesting to see what he can do when started up front.

Welcome aboard Billy.

Welcome aboard Billy.

I'd be surprised if he does start up front that often. He has played up front before, but he's predominantly an attacking midfielder.

 

[Tugboat]

6 first choice strikers now with 2 young guys all fighting for game time.

If Clark does well enough to earn a contract beyond January then surely that’ll bring an end to Rudden and Taylor’s contracts.

Very top heavy

 

[Steve Evans]
