Town in for Clarke
           

  LEON Clarke is a target for Swindon Town boss Paolo Di Canio, the Advertiser understands.

Please, no

Why's that then VD?

Hmmm on a second look his goal scoring record is better than I thought.

I'm sure Wednesday fans hated him, thought he was shit and fat.

They did.But wednesday fans are cunts.

End of the day his record isn't all bad and let's be honest if he was shit and fat dicanio wouldnt go for him

Interesting, not a great strike rate in the Championship, but being loaned to Southend in 2007-2008 in League One he scored 8 in 16 games.
Could perhaps do a fine job at this level once match fit.

and i'm also sure he wouldn't stand for him being fat for very long

Saying that i would still rather see us bid for Constable

1)Scored goals at this level
2)Supports the team
3)Oxford fans would be fucking livid.

haha - my mate just text me "if u thought sabin was bad you ain't seen shit yet"

:D

Oxford fans were saying how Constable was out of his depth against Rotherham.  Reasonably good scoring record since joining them, but blows hot & cold by the sounds of it.  I don't think he's on PDC's radar.

I would in fact love that. The last player we actually signed directly from the scummers must have been Mark Jones. That's about 25 years ago now ??? Scary.

So he was referring to Clarke was he?

And so would DV

:)

Oh and that of course

Clarke would be a great signing at this level.

yes

Fine. I thought he could have meant Constable.

Similar player in terms of attributes and career to that of Craig Davies. If Clarke has half impact on this league that Davies did it could be a cracking piece of business

Would definitely be playing in a league below his ability

I have no problem with this signing, seems a bit of a gamble and could go either way, looking forward to it maybe coming off

Shock of the year, Swindon fans write off possible new signing before he even signs.

I think he would be good at this level and just what we need by the look of it, has scored some good goals in his career and is a big striker and is English for all you xenophobes that think we have too many foreigners.

Go for it PdC.

It's probably one out of Michael Wojtanowicz and Leon Clarke I would imagine. Don't think PDC would sign them both considering the other forwards we've got here.

judging by his press conference yesterday, it seemed as though he was saying he would buy clarke if we could sort a deal for him. he would go straight in. If not, then the austrian as option 2.

Nope it will be one or the other, that is unless Clarke come sin on loan in which case QPR will cover much more of his wages and we may be able to accomodate both in the squad.

it will defo be one or the other. I also think he'll keep the spanish winger... which means three players to go out.

The younger players you think juddie?

It's not looking good for Simmo, I think he'l be gone by the end of the month :( and Manks!

Has anyone on here moaned about our new players nationalities?

youngens, aye, maybe one 'first teamer'. wouldn't be surprised if it was ferry or manks.

I think a lot of our fans are getting Leon Clarke mixed up with Leon McKenzie   :D

Would be happy with this signing.

If wages are a stumbling block then potentially could a loan not be sorted out? Bit like the Bellamy-Cardiff one last year.

I assumed it to be a possible loan anyway, with the wage issue being how much QPR are willing to subsidise it

I'd hope I wasnt the only one who would be pissed off with us signing a scum player.

Once a Scummer, always a Scummer. Anyone who has ever put on that piss stained shirt should never be allowed to wear the red.

If he scored goals I couldn't give a shit.
