Charlton are closing in on Southend's out of contract Peter Clarke according to today's Southend Echo.

27 year old centre back Clarke, has played 150 times for Southend and is available on a free after failing to agree a new contract with Southend.

He is well respected in this part of the world and was voted player of the year last season. Could be a good signing!

    i said we should go for him on another thread about free players as from also being from Southend area have seen a bit of him.

    think would be a good signing for league 1 as has played and excelled in it and knows the stikers we will be up against.

    Their player of the season but leaving. Sounds like Nicky Bailey.

    Didn't he score the equaliser for Southend against Chelsea?
  • AllLeftFootAllLeftFoot
    South London Press has the same story this morning - apparently on wages of "around £2,200 a week" at Southend, which sounds quite a precise figure!

    I believe he did.

    Are Southend our new feeder club (taking over from Ipswich)? We'll be signing Sankofa and Walker back next.

    we'll have to remember that for when he's signed and playing crap. 'that clarke is on £2,200 a week and he's rubbish'. ;0)

    Speaking personally, I'd be happy with wages of around £2,200 a week.

    Would make a huge difference to my life........ (!)



    But then Peter Clarke is no doubt a better (and younger!) footballer than me, lol

    :o)
  • Essex_AlEssex_Al
    At least he would be on a free. When we signed Bailey, Southend included a 20% sell on fee in the contract.
  • BigRedEvilBigRedEvil
    Never hear dof him but I suspect anyone we are linked with this year I wouldn't of heard. We need defenders, on a free.

    A mate who is a Blackpool fan describes Peter Clarke as 'quality'.

    Clarke is ex-Everton and moved from Blackpool to Southend to 'better himself' apparently.
  • ScohamScoham
    Not seen him play, but he's the kind of player we need. Available on a free, a good League One defender, not far off his peak, as said their player of the year, probably good enough for the Championship.

    As said he was at Everton, did make a few first team appearances. Experienced, played for Blackpool before Southend. Wikipedia says he was Blackpool's captain.

    I'm pretty sure we must at the very least be considering him, we're surely aware (as are a lot of other clubs no doubt) of the better League One players with expiring contracts.

    I know most people don't take it seriously at all, but the FM db says £1,900 a week, so very similar to he's certainly affordable.

    Just looked on the Shrimpers forum and they're not very happy about losing him.
  • cfgscfgs
    Great I hope this comes off as it will be nice having another ex Everton at the back. Oh Eddie Youds.....
  • ScohamScoham
    Southend forum thread on him.

    Seems he's not a dominant centre back, and they have Adam Barrett who they say is very similar anyway.

    I wouldn't call Hudson or Fortune dominant centre backs either, anyone know what type of centre back this Llera is?
  • LenGloverLenGlover
    Sodje and Fortune would be ideal IF we could afford them.
  • Essex_AlEssex_Al
    Huddersfield reportedly in for him as well today. As he's a northener, he might fancy a move further up country.

    My Southend mole tells me he has signed for them
  • ScohamScoham
    Apparently he had talked about moving back up north.
  • wickfordwickford
    If you hold Iain Dowie's map the right way up you will find Charlton is North of Southend (just)!

    in the star today that we have won the race to sign clarke and the defender from MK Dons.

    I can understand us looking for players and being linked with them but as for signing them when we dont know who's going to be in the dugout next season seems a little strange which is why i take stories like this with a pinch of salt...or maybe things are starting to move...shareholders watch out for your postman maybe?
