Jack Clarke 11:44 - Feb 26 with 4254 viewsGloucs_R

Has anyone seen enough of this lad to understand exactly why we brought him in on loan? Couldn't get into the Leeds team and now can't get into our team either, what was the point of this loan? Do you think there has been an agreement with Tottenham somewhere behind the scenes and they requested that he came on loan to us?

He's pony so far. What do we know though, he may come good if he's gets games.

Certainly not worth £10m.....Levy was mugged there!!!!!

I have a feeling that with the Brighton lad going back, Wells going back and a possibility of West Ham recalling Hugill, and Parrot not coming here from Spurs because of Kane's injury (not that he's made the squad there) that Jack was just about the only other front running option we had to come in.

He has been very poor so far but judging by various clips on him he is a hugely talented player. Problem is that he's gone to Spurs at just the wrong time, under Jose, rather than going down to league 1, like Dele Alli and playing every week. Baffled as to why Leeds weren't allowed to keep him on. Not great for a young player like this. I suspect the plan may be to play him more as and when we are mathematically safe but as everyone else says surely we play Shodipo over him as he may well be a regular next season if BOS or Eze move on (or both).

I feel for the lad. He's obviously got a lot of talent, it's just perhaps hidden in self doubt and lack of minutes and ability to settle.

I hope he is given time to settle. He is a young lad who is clearly thought of enough for Spurs to bring him down to London, he now needs to acclimatise and settle in. He hasn't had a lot of game time for us and looks like a confidence player so hopefully he will get the time he needs without people getting on his back.

I’m not sure if he was asked to stay back or not last night. We finished the game with Eze, Chair, Bright, Clarke, Kane and Manning all pushing for a winner. Someone had to stay back. What the hell it worked anyway!

Clarke's only good performance, in the last 15 minutes against Bristol City, when he was very good, was I think on the left wing when we were going all out for an equaliser. The rest of his appearances have I believe been on the right wing. Maybe something in that?

Anyway if you have faith in the 'team' that brought us Eze, BOS, Chair and Masterton we need to keep off the lad's back and be v.patient. Who knows?

He's looked very good as a left winger, diabolical as a right winger.

I think he was brought in as the club knew Wells might go and feared a big bid for Eze so we had an attacking option from the bench ready to go if needed.

tin foil hat here ... but perhaps...

After having seen him, perhaps Spurs don't reckon he'll get into their first team, and offering him in as a make weight in any deal for Eze.

This allows us half a season to evaluate him and decide whether he's worth including in the deal.

From my view point he needs to put on about 5 kgs of muscle, and strengthen up, but has the level of pace and skill our coaches can work with. The problem being is he worth the price tag Levy will put on him as any part of the deal.

He has played 142 minutes for us, the equivalent of 1.57 matches, so no. No one has seen enough of him.

I agree he looks better on the left than right. You can see his confidence is low.Probably in a bit of a daze as a youngster although a very well paid daze. Finds himself signing for Spurs they send him back to Leeds and then to us on loan. In one of our last attacks last night when BOS got away and fired across from the left, trying similar to Stoke goal, Clarke was free on the right if BOS had squared it to him sure he would have buried it and that would have got his confidence up. In a way his predicament is a bit of a wake up call for our talents such as Eze and BOS to ensure when they move to a Prem club, they make a sensible choice. But sometimes these things are not always in their hands.

I'm less concerned about Jack coming on loan than I am Levy attempting to use Jack as leverage in a deal for Eze. Eze will have no shortage of suitors so QPR must be strong and entertain only substantial cash offers. If they don't it'll make a mockery of the buy 'em low, sell 'em high strategy.

Lots of panic on here about Clarke.

For a start he’s hardly played for us and even at that he’s had one very good appearance already, next I thought that tactically he really contributed to us stretching Derby and finally where has this notion that he’ll be used as a fictional part of the fictional Eze deal to Spurs come from?

Because that's what our fans do. Make up a story, then people believe it because it's on the internet.

See my comments on the Eze thread.

No one has any leverage in a negotiation with QPR when it comes to Eze. This is one of the few situations in the last few years where QPR holds all of the cards in a transfer negotiation

If Levy or anyone else tries to play it too cute in the negotiations, QPR can turn to Wolves, Palace and any other team that is after a player of his talent, durability, experience, age and stats
