Ciaran Clark - now gone

[pbavfckuwait]

Clark I think is a player that gets better with more game time, when he has an extended run he tends to get better and better, would say that with Ciaran it really is a confidence thing.

Didn't see the Irish game tonight, but all reports suggest he had a good game.   Becoming a regular fixture at international level will surely only help him.

Clark captained England at youth levels under 18 19 and 20 . Then did a switch to Ireland as a full international. He's decent enough to play for England at centre back but I guess as a wide choice at centre half it was tough for him so made a career decision. I've always like Clark and think he should get a decent run. He was actually man of match in my opinion v man city and did q great tackle I think on navas thundering in meaning business. Well done tonight ciran great efforts .
I'm wondering what chats he had with greslish about staying at Ireland.
Well done to shay given too tonight.

Well done to shay given too tonight.

Why, what was he up to?

Officially joined Newcastle today. I wish him no ill will after 15+ years at the club.

Officially joined Newcastle today. I wish him no ill will after 16 years at the club.

I echo that sentiment.

I would go with similar, with the slight amendment that I wish him two or three inappropriate Cruyft turns on the edge of his own box each time we play Newcastle

[Ron Manager]

A decent professional who never became the player we hoped he would be. We will watch his progress with interest.

[Nastylee]

Bye

[usav]

I wonder if the Toon are happy about that?

Utter rubbish. From Laursen and King Olaf to shite like him.

[villadelph]

Thanks for the service but sorry I won't miss you.

[PeterWithe]

Good luck to the lad, a good servant. It may not be coincidence that his spell in the first team corresponded with us being absolutely appalling, especially in defense.

I hope he does well for some of his games up there.

[aj2k77]

Clark and Baker, the worst pairing I've seen at Villa Park for a good 30 years.

Seconded. My lasting memory will be him watching flat footed while that blue nosed Watford twat Deeney did jump and score at VP last season. Unfortunately this was not a one off.
