A footballers performance (especially a striker) relies a lot on confidence levels. He clearly lacked that when he played for us, and I don't think it would benefit him as a player by coming back whatever form he is in elsewhere.
I wouldn't shut the door on anyone but him playing for us did not tick the box. Good club to him at Scunthorpe.
nope. Age aside, Fuller & Hulse are a step up from BWP and Kermo and those two are at least two steps up from Clarke.
Add to that the fact that CP doesn't fancy him, so leave him where he is and get him off the books asap.
u really think hulse is a step up from kerms? not imo
love Kermo and his passion but I felt he was being bullied by the defenders in the early games this season and I'm not sure that'll happen to Hulse.
No real facts behind it though. Only seen Hulse for 10 mins but he did OK then and he's floated around football at a higher level than Kermo so that sways it for me.
you're saying hulse is better based on 10 mins? and just because he's played at a higher level? I assume u wanted Heskey over Fuller on that basis?
If CP says "yes", I say" yes"; but I doubt there is a place for him in the present line-up so, in that case, lets hope he has done enough to earn us a reasonable fee in the January transfer market
Heard Coventry & MK Dons have both offered to take him on loan in November in view of buying him for £250k
This in itself would justify the swap with Benson last January,meanwhile Leon plays for potentially his 14th club at only 27.i guess that would be one way of doing the 92.
With Fuller now potentially out for a while, Powell was asked what were the chances of bringing back in-form striker Leon Clarke from his loan spell at Scunthorpe to boost Charlton’s attacking options.
“It is something I will have to have a look at,” the manager replied after careful consideration.
I'd give him another go because at the moment things look less than great in that department, if he can't cut it (which in truth I doubt he would be able to) then he can pop back to League One.
Bring him back, why not? 7 goals in 9, goals is something we lack at the moment, esp at home. It's a dead cert for me. Cmon Powell.
I don't care about Leon Clarke, other players etc. All I care about is Charlton and from that point of view Powell should recall him, get him on the pitch and get him to put em in for us instead of Scunthorpe.
One of our players said he was a bad egg. Horrendous attitude.
Exactly what I'd heard as well from someone who is not a player but who is with the players a lot of the time. So a very definite 'no' from me as well.
As he has played so few games, and as I have only seen him a couple of times , and as he is prolific, then NO. I suspect those who have slated Francis and Wilson are the ones slagging Clarke. Those who know F A - IMHO.

Tom Hovi?
Mark McCammon?
Bit harsh. We didnt really see him, did we.
PS Agree he is not better than Kermo, Hulse, Fuller, BWP, Haynes etc though.
I think we should keep him on our books but keep loaning him out. You never know in football....

I wonder what Super Clive's up to?
Jesus.
