[stanley75]

I hope we've waived the usual rule and instead absolutely insist he has to play against us when we clash.

He may be good as a striker in league one, but not in the championship.
He doesn't have the quality.

No wonder Preston are in trouble with this kind of judgement!! Seems what you need is a dud striker to dig you out of that hole. Or maybe they are readying for the drop already? I am tempted to keep my mouth shut in case they look on here for a view on his attributes before taking him.

On the positive side, he could be the basis of a great trivial pursuit question in years to come, being the striker of consequtively relegated teams.

Now official - just had the text!! till the end of the season

[cross it Dave]

Good luck to him, honest tryer.

[Rebel R's]

NW did admit he was a risk and it backfired,but thankfully he is gone now because if he stayed he would keep coming on as sub or worse,even start!

[Brian Wilson]

Who are the moaners gonna hate now? hmmmm

Gorkss seems to be getting a bit of abuse lately. Maybe Ramage could be rushed back to fill the void?

[Ric-Roc]

How long more is Clarke contracted to us out of interest?

[qpr]

I hope he does well, not bad for the bench I guess

[suttonranger]

so now we have one fit forward - Hulse & thats it. He's had more opportunity than clarke playing up front with a measley one goal of his shin to show for it

I'd prefer to play Taarabt / Routledge / Smith ( Who is a striker ) up front then Clarke

Preston are already planning for next season...
