Quote from: dave clark five on January 01, 2012, 01:43:52 PMI referred to Clark as a potential world beater on here a week or so ago. That may turn out to be an exaggeration but what a result for our Academy. They have unearthed a gem. A midfield of Clark, Herd, Gardner, Albrighton, Bannan. That's not a bad Academy turnout.

I agree with most of the posts on this thread.All I care to add is that in addition to all those qualities, he is also a threat in the air from set pieces. He's just a great player to have.

Both have poise, composure and physique.

I've liked him since he broke through. The best thing about Clark is that wherever he plays; centre back, central midfield or left back he always manages to play well. He really is a hugely versatile player. Secondly, and it's been mentioned before on this thread is the way he plays the game. You see plenty of guys who are Clark's size who are so clumsy but he looks effortless in the pass which is quite unusual for a centre half. He truly is an outstanding prospect for either midfield or defence.
