Let’s see if he can maintain his goal scoring record of 5.39 every season. May drop now due to his age. .


He will fit in absolutely beautifully with our current strikeforce

Yeah, unfortunately Lionel Messi didn't want to drop down to League 2 so we'll have to make do.


I think Lionel Blair has a better goal scoring record. You can’t or shouldn’t ignore his proven track record over a career. Strange signing.

I think he will play well alongside Hanson. As a lone striker, I would not be impressed by the signing but I can see this working well alongside some pacy wingers and attack minded CMs. UTM

If he can help Hanson find the back of the net agian, it will be worth it.

A week ago, would we even be signing a player like Clarke?

All I know that is that Olly wants to be more positive going forward.

Plymouth fans saying he's a "no.10" and didnt fit into their system or in a front 2.

So suggests he might be used here as am attacking creative midfielder in the 3 in midfield. Or if we moved to more of a 4-2-3-1 he could be the central one of the 3.

About his past record....stats don't always tell the whole story do they.
At the right clubs that have been a good fit he's done well and scored goals. Bradford, Crawley and a couple of his loan spells he's done well and had a decent goals return for someone who isn't an 18-yard no.9.
All it takes is a couple of spells like his time at Blackpool, Charlton and the 2nd time at Bradford, with only a few goals but probably a lot of those appearances only off the bench and it has a big impact on the goals to games ratio.

He looks from the clips like he's got good quality, and he was Crawley's player of the year when they were in League One.

I think there's every chance it could be a good signing for us and we've just got to hope Holloway can make it a good fit like he had in his more successsful spells in his career so far.

Oh, and it's always good to have some lefties in the team.

Nice one.
