AlimOzturk Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 Clark in the stands today watched him score two beautifully finished goals (one offside) and put on master class of hold up play.

HoGwash Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 I'm not sure if it's true or not but I read recently that the 20th league goal today makes him the first Hearts player to score 20 top flight league goals in consecutive seasons since Willie Wallace in 1963/64.

He simply must start him in one of the friendlies. Then its up to Shanks to put in the kind of performance that Clarke can't ignore. He's our best goalscoring striker and Clarke will be ridiculed if it all goes tits up at the Euros and Shanks has not been given at least an opportunity in a warm up game. 100% he's on the plane, I just hope he is seen as a possible starter.

Victorian Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 Old Firm clubs had an open goal to invest in a terrific, proven, improving, supremely confident scoring machine. Old Firm clubs reverted to the default position of not investing money within Scotland. Things have now moved on. If they want him in the summer then it should be £8m. Or we keep him, sell him elsewhere, or somehow extend his stay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tiger Rudi Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 Folk and pundits saying his value will be less in the summer with ONLY a year left on his contract are nuts. His form has shown no sign of faltering, he's breaking Spl records for goals scored. I say we add another 3 mill to the price on his head and keep him until his contract runs out. I'm praying nobody comes in for him in the summer and he extends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liam11 Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 Could have easily had a hattrick today - passed up the penalty and Forrest delayed that pass too long for the disallowed one.

He's absolutely brilliant. If he (when he) says no to a new deal in the summer, I might be tempted to sell of we can get a club to pay maybe £4m. Pay the juice for Danny Armstrong and Lyall Cameron, a decent quality right back and a couple of strikers. Dhanda coming in and probably a replacement for Beni. Then potentially Cochrane moving on too. Our team is going to need a fair amount if rebuilding. That would be a hell of a lot easier with serious funds to use.

Or we keep him, sell him elsewhere, or somehow extend his stay. My view in January was that if either arsecheek signed him, whether it cost them 5, 6, or even 7 million quid, it would pretty much guarantee them the league this season and Champions League group stage football next season, which would be worth easily more than £20million to them. I get that his lack of pace might mean he'd struggle to make an impact in the Champions League itself, and that it'll also put off EPL teams, etc, but he's such a guaranteed Scottish Premiership goalscorer that I honestly think if either arsecheek had signed him in January, he'd have repaid them several times over within the space of a few months! I'm very glad they were both too blinkered to sign him though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It reminds me of the buzz heading along to games as a youngster just knowing that wee Robbo was going to be on the park. It's a warm fuzzy feeling of quiet confidence that doesn't come along for supporters outside of the old firm very often. 2 hours ago, cosanostra said: I'd rather sell him and rebuild than watch him sign a pre-contract next January for the Huns and have them announce it a few days before we play them.
