I thought that Clements had the potential to really kick on this season. What a shame he didn't have the support of our coaching staff.

We'll keep plodding along with Summerfield and Berrett then, eh?

How do you know he "didn't have the support of the coaching staff"?

Just thinking back, Clements came to us to take over from Summerfield when he was forced out on loan last season and now he's having to go out on loan himself because he can't dislodge the current incumbent

Funny old game isn't it?

I watched Clements last season and simply don't get the love in. He was ok for league two, nothing more, nothing less. Not particularly rated in a struggling Mansfield side. Seems Mickey Moore is a huge fan as he has followed him around but nobody else seems bothered about him,

Also told he is on a huge wage ( compared with he vast majority of our players) so with tumbling gates that may have played a part?

Where's FFS when you need him ?

It should be Slade going to Barrow, not Clements !

Tumbling gates follow Slade around like a bad smell.

After reading all the comments about Clements on here since he arrived last season,

I have come to the belief  that he is a lot better player this season than he was last,

Even though he has not played a game .

Clements played well last season and I was impressed with his application - worked hard and really got stuck in which wasn't necessarily what I was expecting with what fans of his former teams said. He'd undoubtedly have improved our midfield this season if he was fit and playing - 4 well-deserved goals from 16 games last season, let's not forget - our central midfielders have 2 goals between them in 10 matches so far this season (both scored by Rose, one a penalty).

If he's been on compassionate leave this season, you'd imagine something has gone on with his family. He started his career at Crewe and played for Hednesford for a couple of years so perhaps they are all based on that side of the country and he wants to move across there? Admittedly, Barrow is still a heck of a long way from Cheshire or Staffordshire!

Very disappointed to see him leave and it would be interesting to know why this has actually happened. If he's moved across there for personal reasons then fair enough, I suppose.

Mickey Moore likes him, Russell Slade doesn't. Simple as that. Some of us prefer Clements to Summerfield, some of us prefer Berrett to either - we aren't GTFC manager and we won't lose our job if we're wrong.

Quoted from diehardmariner
Didn't someone post on here a while back that Slade was unhappy that Clements and Osborne were on huge contracts with stipulations they didn't have to relocate from The Midlands?

Regardless of what's gone on, Clements is head and shoulders above everyone who's had a go in midfield this season. Crying out for him all season and unless Slade is going to pull a rabbit out his cap with a free agent, we won't be strengthened until January at the earliest.


Even then, he'll probably sign a forward or a wide player as a replacement..

We are one injury or suspension away from having no choice at either centre half or centre midfield irrespective of form or confidence and no left- footed replacement at left back (and please no one dare say Kelly)
