Gash player and if that’s the standard for Charlton we won’t be seeing them back in the championship any time soon. To be fair, I thought he was one of the very few players to get pass marks under Stendel. He did well when moved to wing back. That said, we did well to get cash for him and thought it was the right choice to sell him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was an important midfield signing tipped to be an important player for us and he was paid a healthy sum. He flopped spectacularly and not 1 tear was shed over him leaving.

Peebo Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 Ended up being one of the most over-rated Hearts players in recent memory. Absolutely crap, but bizarrely held up as a poster child by many. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auldbenches Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 13 hours ago, PhoenixHearts said: Whatever people think of Clare's performances on the pitch, I can't tolerate any of these roasters that call him things like "Chicken hearted". He's the opposite. He could have shrank and shrivelled up when everyone was getting on his back. That could have destroyed his confidence entirely but he never let it truly get to him. He stuck it out and proved that he could rise above it. In my books he really did improve significantly towards the end. Intelligent guy and I love that he's outspoken in his beliefs. I wish we still had someone at Hearts who was as vocal about societys ills and all that fun stuff. This! The guy even paid for a sports psychologist to help improve his confidence as he knew it was affecting his game. He put more effort in than most of tbe other signings at that time. Hope he has a great career. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was about five minutes before he got his first ever goal for us v Livvy in the cup. Why does he need to remind you. Surely you didn’t welch out on the deal.

ToadKiller Dog Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 For most of his time with us looked like a player with little confidence in his own ability ,I think Stendal was able to get him over that and he improved ,if he would have improved more I don't know .

Morgan Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 Sean was the worst thing since sliced bread, according to Pep and his cronies on here. He became ‘no bad’ when his position was changed, according to all the Klopps on here. The truth is, he was the same player at all times and, as most decent human beings should be able to relate to, took very badly to the horrendous abuse he took from many fans. Good luck with the operation, Mr Clare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daveandal Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 I really rated him. Very good player. A memory I have of him was a game against Celtic. Hickey got himself in trouble in the box. So sensibly put the ball out for a throw in. Berra (our captain)screamed blue murder at him. It was Clare who put an arm round him and told him it was OK. This at a time he wasn't exactly playing his best. Clearly a great guy and I wish him all the best in football and life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glamorgan Jambo Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 Was hung out to dry by Levein who totally overhyped him putting huge pressure on what was a very young player (see also Vanecek). Glad to see him settling at Charlton after short stints at Oxford and Burton (playing in the Souttar role on the right of a back 3). Hope the operation goes as planned and he’s back in the Addicks defence come August. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
