    Looks that way - and if so it seems a lot of money for an injured player who will only be back up to Junior.
    Not sure if it means it's on or off.

    Yeah £3.5m on someone that's going to be cover for Junior feels a bit crazy even in the current market. Surely there's better value out there.

    Yeah, but as @bobmunro will testify, they are desperate for a bit of "Love Island glamour" up that way, so that alone probably added a million to their bid!

    I thought I did, but couldn't find it mentioned here, He's been Charltonised.

    I think people are way too harsh on Clarke. He definitely tailed off but he was being asked to play so high, he will do much better as a proper right back. I think he would have been much happier in our new shape but we obviously weren't going to spend £3.5m on a backup RB. It's a shame the way he's being remembered on here though, he was a big part of us self-righting in the new year

    If he failed the medical we should get straight in there...sounds a perfect fit

    Yep apparently has an issue with his knee must have been from all the running to deliver the long throw ins

    So can he do it on a wet night in Stoke?

    Not for me,too ready to have a go at his team mates when things went wrong,when a lot of the time it was him who ballsed it up

    Scoring won’t be the same without his early celebrations though

    A huge gamble. Stoke will either struggle to get insurance, or pay a ridiculous premium for it...

    Wasn't one of the reasons Chris Solly never moved on on his prime that he couldn't get insurance for his injury record? Maybe Harry is similar to this.

    A weird chain of events. I imagine Preston will have paid less than Stoke would have.

    He'd have passed our medical.

    He was very moody today. I enjoyed seeing his pathetic attempt at goal. It looked like he wanted to injure Mesik a couple of times. 

    McNamara is an upgrade on the long-throw merchant.

    There was a nice moment between him and Nathan Jones in the second half caught on Camera where they seemed to share a joke

    Ironically looked like one of their better players which wasnt saying much. Pretty average all in all.

    How I felt about him when he was here, average, terrible going forward.

    A couple of decent long throws, but I don't think Preston exploited them that well, considering it was the standout feature of his time with us.

    Is everyone clear that Harry Clarke played as a wing back for Charlton and when NJ decided to revert to a back 4 with full backs and wide forwards (Wingers)on both sides of the 3 behind the 1 up front then Harry Clarke who liked to get into tho opposition box wasn't needed.
    In 3 matches for CAFC Harry had chances to score early doors but couldn't finish.
    We have Danny Spanner and Kayne when he's fit.

    Got down the line and put in a great cross in the first half, just as he did regularly for us. Was a very decent addition to our squad last season. 

    Why do you appear to dislike him so much? It seems bizarre for someone that I doubt you have ever met, who did a good job on loan for us and who, judging by his interaction with our players at the end of the match, was clearly a popular figure.

    I liked HC and think he does his job well,  but I do believe we have upgraded on our right side.

    I liked him when he was with us, but he wouldn’t get in our XI this season. He may even struggle to make the bench when everyone is fit.
