    Did I read that he's failed the medical?

    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.
