I can't see Clarke going straight into the starting XI, I expect he will replace Ince as the option on the bench but hope he can be fairly quickly challenging for a starting spot.

Maybe your mate knows fuck all. He was voted best young player of the season 👍 if i trust anyone’s judgement it’s his. He makes his living from the game. So does Martin Keown...

Exciting addition,reminds me a bit of the Lee Hendrie signing that spruced us up under Pulis. Made us much more attacking at the time.

see above- my Leeds mate doesn’t think he was all that. “Best bit of business Leeds ever done selling him for 10.5”. Maybe your mate knows fuck all. He was voted best young player of the season 👍 Rons a maverick.

No idea how good this lad is but i'm sure the sentinel said hes only started 4 games in his career (is this correct). I hope him and matondo turn out to be great signings for the rest of the season but i'm a little sceptical. If they're good enough for MON though then its good enough for me, fingers crossed. welcome Jack Not sure where they got that from he started for Leeds regularly the season before last maybe they were refering to spurs or more than likely ive read it completely wrong

Too much disruption to the 11 wouldn’t be good for morale either. Also, unlike Matondo, this lad will have had 1/2 sessions with us before the game on Saturday. The left back is different in this as we are desperate for one and have no alternative.

Ince must be looking even more miserable than he thought he was capable of! I don't think he'll mind, if he's lucky he won't make the matchday squad. And if we're lucky 😀

Very excited about this one.
Let’s see what a proper manager gets out of him.
No offence Jose but MON walks on water😂😂😂

Not sure changing our attackers is such a bad thing

Stick all three new signings in on Saturday, what have we got to loose? Attacking wise we haven’t been a threat since Campbell got injured. Let’s go for it.

I would say this applies to 80% of our current players tbh

I think we'll be much more of a threat even if it's just the new LB who makes the team, I agree though, would love to see all 3 new signings in there right from the start. I suspect Clarke will start on the bench though.

I don't really know enough about the lad to have an opinion on him.
Hopefully he does the business, the potential seems there for sure.

Our least exciting signing so far this window, and I wouldn't have thought I'd say that about Jack Clarke a month ago! Forget whatever happened at QPR and whoever it was who signed him, I reckon O'Neill will be a lot more clued up, which still doesn't mean Clarke is a definite success of course.

Loans only so no big commitment and we will have to go some for the rest of the season for these to bear fruit - without - Campbell - we need Fletcher fit and Vokes a brain transplant to make him more aggressive - then we still need to offload so many deadwood players

That's bayernspeak for, 'He's taking what I think should be my golden boy Verlinden's place; therefore I'm getting on his case from the first minute he steps onto the pitch.'

From my limited knowledge on this lad based on the few games I saw of him at Leeds he wasn't majorly quick and not the strongest.
However he was only 18.
He hugged the touch line and was always in enough space to receive the ball (something some of our players seek incapable of at times wanting to stand next to the nearest opposition player). He had a good touch and asked for the ball, even at 18. He was skilful but importantly for us he could keep hold of the ball which meant others could get forward.
I think it's a positive move for us and hopefully we can help his development as he helps us win a fair few games.

I don't think too many changes in the line up is a positive, but to swap Brown, McClean and Vokes for three new player can't be wrong as I see it! There is absolute nothing to lose by making these changes.
