He's a solid, dependable midfielder. The type, incidentally, that we'd been built on for years under Pearson. Clucas would definitely be a good signing. Shrewd, under the radar, in form & has impressive stats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd agree with you there mate, like I said before about king, there's nothing loyal about not being good enough to leave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdb Posted 21 June 2017 Share Posted 21 June 2017 Decent but not a huge upgrade really. Would surely sit on the bench if we stay 442? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King is well down the pecking order. Mendy...I'll give you...we just don't know until we see a fully fit player. Amartey...don't get me started. So yes, Clucas would probably be CM number 3 if we signed him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanTheFox07 Posted 21 June 2017 Share Posted 21 June 2017 would surely mean we need to ship out one of king, mendy, james or amartey! which there is a high possability! amartey not really been given any game time towards end of season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lgfualol Posted 22 June 2017 Share Posted 22 June 2017 I'll take him but think we can do better. I'd like us to sign someone that actually pushes Drinkwater for a place.. Maybe Mendy will turn his fortunes around. King and James are meh. Had no idea he was 26, he looks younger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
car1os Posted 22 June 2017 Share Posted 22 June 2017 Why are we not in for someone like Will Hughes (Watford are in for him for £8M apparently) - he's not proven at Premiership level I know, but is a natural and gifted CM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JayT - Always A Fox! Posted 22 June 2017 Share Posted 22 June 2017 He is from Leicestershire area isn't he? If that is the case it may be a dream move for him. People are quick these these days to judge a player but you've got to look at the bigger picture. Yes it does seem a tad underwhelming but how many players have we signed with no "top level" experience that have turned out pretty well. i also believe their is no age limit to progress hence Jamie Vardy.

Do we need a cm no.3 or someone better then what we already have? If we gets top class cm I can accept that it will limit the chances of all those players with question marks over them... to sign a no.3 who will rarely play and also stop us ever knowing about the others seems a bit pointless.

justfoxes Posted 22 June 2017 Share Posted 22 June 2017 I don't think he's as any better than we have already or even have in the academy, this sounds like the players agent using the press trying get him a better deal can't see us going for him ??

Again i appreciate people saying they're unsure on him but he was superb in a poor Hull side last year. Good utility midfield player and technically good. Not to mention the fact he outplayed our midfield in the game at the KP last year. Very much in the Yes camp for this one to give us more quality midfield depth. Could play centrally or wide.

kingcarr21 Posted 22 June 2017 Share Posted 22 June 2017 Clucas had a half decent season in a relegated side. Is he really going to improve us though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotTheMarketLeader Posted 22 June 2017 Share Posted 22 June 2017 11 hours ago, foxes21 said: Well he was deployed as a DM the whole season, so I wouldn't expect his attacking statistics to be great. But to answer your question: goals 3 assists 1 chances created 15 key passes 14 He used to be a winger before last season so maybe he does have some attacking capabilities but was unable to show them due to his DM responsibilities. You can't deny finishing 6th/8th for tackles/interceptions in his position & 4th in distance covered are impressive statistics. When you are in a relegation battle those stats can be skewed. Tackles and interceptions are likely to be high as you are defending a lot more than team other teams - as an average. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like Kante, according to last season he was the only defending player we had except he defends better alone than any other 4/5 players put together so we won the league Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
