Folk will say he's athletic but there is minimal evidence of any of this prowess being in any way relevant to football. And that's before starting on the skill set specifically required for this sport. More generally, I'm very much always that everyone is entitled to their opinion but have to admit the head-in-sand, proper fan, defending of this shambles in a corner of social media is becoming almost as depressing as the situation itself. If you are only there for the dotty bars and blue popcorn then fine but you just focus on chomping those and let those of us with eyes continue to press the case for change. 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steviemay17 Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 CD has sucked my enthusiasm for Saints so badly that I genuinely just allowed myself to fully consider "would a Jack Ross reclamation project be a better option for us" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steviemay17 Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 Funny how we're apparently searching all over Europe for a striker, yet we plump for the one a few miles away 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zamora Fan Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 Paying a fee for Nicky Clark to come in and be by far our best striker is embarrassing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie_B Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 I hadn’t realised he was United’s top scorer last season - though he took all their penalties I think. Another guy we’ve paid a fee for - surely one of them will be worth something at some point? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another way to look at it is he managed to score equal to 25% of our total league goals in only 84% of the games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyle Posted August 30, 2022 Author Share Posted August 30, 2022 Another signing that isn’t terrible in isolation but if you look at it against the backdrop of the rest of the squad, I just don’t see what he gives us that we don’t already have. He’s a good penalty taker and he’ll maybe link play better than what we already have, but we surely should only be paying fees where there may either be a resale value or if the player is exceptional. I don’t think Clark falls into either category. Feels like another box tick signing. Might work out for us but we are so desperately short of pace in the team. Hope we can bring that in over the next few days. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Costanza Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 Marc McNulty tomorrow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steviemay17 Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 Isn't the main problem we have is the system means we need strikers who can create something out of nothing? Clark isn't really that kind of player, he's listed at 178cm so isn't going to do anything with the high balls we pump at him. Still feels like our best hope will be pumped balls into the corner for him to chase down, maybe win a throw in/free kick 1/3 times to get us up the park and we score from set pieces 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PSJ.84 Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 I’m fine with the signing, it’s the paying the fee for a 30-year-old that sends the shitters right up me. Positive head on, it may only be like £50,000, and at least it’s another striker on the books 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having seen the Clark news I was actually coming in this thread to say that McNulty reeks of a St Johnstone signing and at least you've dodged that bullet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
