Ciaran Clark: The new/next David Platt?

[rutski]

sorry legion, i think he will be nothing like platt in the football or anatomical sense!

[Legion]

No worries. We're all entitled to our opinion. It is a discussion board after all. I think he will become something special.

[PaulWinch again]

I think he'll be a top centre half personally.

[Legion]

The new/next Paul McGrath? (sorry)

[rutski]

i am not doubting his ability as a player, as i view him as extremely talented,  but maybe to excel in defensive positions rather than an attacking midfielder beating the last defender to through balls! That is the comparison i disagree with the platt thing!

[rutski]

The new/next Paul McGrath? (sorry)

maybe?
But lets not burden him with that expectation eh!

[Legion]

It was a feeble attempt at a joke.

[eamonn]

Handy to have a defensive player who knows how to finish all the same.

[j66acd]

He could have had a hat trick as well, probably missed the easier one of the three as well. The first was a cracker.

[hawkeye]

Ciaran Platt David Clark er no bonkers

[Bosco81]

Might be the new Derek Mountfield at least.

[Whiney MacWhineface]

The new Gary Cahill?

[TheTimVilla]

He looks like a bloody good player. On the other hand, I predicted great things for Scimeca, Olney, Norton & Hughes.

[Bosco81]

The new Gary Cahill?

depends how he copes when he's not in the team

[Mister E]

Will be a great Central Defender... This spell in CM will only be beneficial and help him develop into a cultured defender.

Could be really great.

Agreed - a fine CB prospect and seems to have the temperament too.
