WBridgfordowl Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Is he the man for a relegation scrap? What little money we have could be better spent elsewhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doubled123456 Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 No. He's had opportunities in the champ and made a right pigs ear of it. He can't settle anywhere for more than five minutes. do foxes' eat pigs ears? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doubled123456 Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Slothroyd also scored one or two hat tricks in his time, and even played for England u know b-royd should never be mentioned here again, a complete t^osser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest intercity0wl Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 (edited) b-royd should never be mentioned here again, a complete t^osser. And neither should Leon. why o why do some folk look backwards to when times were dire, and then want to bring (pardon the pun) a BIG parts of it back. Thread after thead, post after post about how this side needs some real quality to compete at this level, and then the idea of signing for the second time a player who did not cut it here before is raised. for f**k sake peeps start to look forwards.

till_i_die Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 I know I'm in the minority but I'd have him back. Never thought we should have let him go and he's a better player now. Best natural finisher we've had permanently since Premiership days. I don't even think he was that lazy by the end of it - he got a bad reputation (deservedly) in his first season or so but he was a typical goalscoring target man - it wasn't his job to chase down every ball within 30 yards. I know he's got attitude problems but as long as he's not a disruptive influence on the rest of the squad (and didn't seem to be last time he was here) then I'd not say it matters. Obviously there's plenty more I'd prefer but not many that'd be so cheap/realistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Sheff Owl Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 OFFICIAL Sky Blues striker has handed in a formal transfer request to the club this morning Coventry City striker Leon Clarke has handed in a formal transfer request. Clarke, who has scored 18 goals this season on the back of the 10 he fired for City in the second half of the 2012/13 campaign, still has 18 months left to run on his deal with the club. Development director Steve Waggott said: “I have this morning received a formal transfer request from Leon Clarke. There had been indications over the weekend that this would happen but I was only formally notified this morning after he arrived at the training ground. “Of course, it’s deeply disappointing when a player expresses a desire to leave the club in this way – especially when he has become such a firm favourite with supporters because of performances over the past 12 months. “That said, when he still has a year-and-a-half left on his contract we are in a position where we will only let him leave if the deal is right for Coventry City Football Club. “That means securing the kind of deal that will allow Steven Pressley to strengthen his squad should Leon go.†Clarke, 28, signed permanently from Charlton for the Sky Blues in January 2013 after a short loan spell.

scram Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 The guy can score goals - certainly at league 1 - and maybe he has earned another chance at the championship It's a shame he doesn't just knuckle down and consolidate his career at Coventry rather than hand in a transfer request He always seems to be on the edge of another set back of his own making Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRUCE LEE Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Agree with Scram, should finish what he's started at Cov. Wouldn't be surprised if Peterborough are in for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Snooty Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 (edited) An oaf. Only a career in the lower ends of the football league kept him from working in Kebab shop as the one who puts the flat pack cartons together. He has scored some goals yes. Mainly the type that don't give him too much thinking time. Leon and thinking is combination rarely used to good effect.

Guest Sheff Owl Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Sky bet have linked Leon Clarke to his previous clubs.. saying Wolves - Favourites but they face competition from Sheff Wed (5/2) and Swindon (4/1) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoz Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Found his level very good league one player but doubt he could do the same at championship level, plus his attitude is poor. He would be a good signing for the pigs said this a few times to a few mates who are pigs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owlsdreamer Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Never met a footballer with such low esteem of himself. If he can get over this then he well might just be a very good footballer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ironman Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 He looks like a changed man. Slimmer, quicker, more confident. 23 goals in 33 games is some record for Coventry, and that's in a team not exactly having the best of times. Would he be worth the gamble though? Anyone else with that goals ratio over last 2 years and we'd be clamouring or mandaric to buy him. It's a tough one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beholder Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 He is a championship standard striker who has found himself playing at a level beneath his ability because of previous issues attributable to attitude. I always rated him, even when he was enemy number 1 on here. He has a certain class about him that stands out. Now he is lean and mean and has applied himself, there is no reason he can't be a very effective striker at this level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeonLeon Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 At 28 and in the form of his life. Is it really a surprise he seemingly wants out of League One. Even as bad as he was he'd mastered that League at an early age. The only mistake he made was going to Charlton. That really stalled him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
