Two year deal worries me slightly. We go up and he does well in the Championship and we could lose him for nothing. Unless of course we don't think him good enough for the Championship? I was hoping for some three year deals to stop our squad churn every summer.

There is always ONE negative Nancy......😄

You tell him, Golfie!

Golfie thinks that we are only doing 2 year deals because we'll be in the Premier League by then.

This is refreshing isn't it 😁😁

I can just imagine if it was Bowyer. He would have said the same thing and then played him left back in the first game, substitute him after 10 mins, leave him out for 6 weeks because “none of my players bottle tackles, not on this journey”

Adkins told the South London Press. “I’m looking for a very athletic side – and I want a big side as well.

Got a feeling he's going to be Jordan Cousins with a bit more tenacity

Tenacity, energy, work rate etc, whatever you want to call it is exactly where Cousins stood out.

If he can be Cousins with more technical ability then he’ll be a great signing.

I genuinely think Clare could be up there for POTY, just a feeling. Exactly what we've missed. Fit, tenacious, quick and actually quite technical when I've watched him. Like what Adkins is clearly trying to do, think we'll be deadly from set pieces. Just need someone who can take a corner haha.

*breaks leg in first 10 minutes*

Don't tempt fate 

Think he'd play on by the sounds of his interview... Still be quicker than Watson

I think some of the comments Gunter attracts are ridiculous to be honest. A few weeks ago the man was selected to start for his country in the euros v Italy in a narrow defeat to the eventual competition winners. I’m glad he’s still with us and I think we’ll see plenty of him this season.

We always think somebody is going to he the next best thing ever once we sign them. I'm happy with this signing but I've also learnt my lessons from expectations in Gunter, Ronnie, Gilbey, Shinnie (even).

It’s usually the opposite. I remember the Yann and Morrison reactions!

Kicks the ball out of play with his first touch. Terrible pass gives the opposition a goal, then gives away a penalty before being hooked in the 50th minute 

"Worse than Lepoint"
"Makes Ba look good"
"Worst signing ever"

  

Clare had a disappointing time at hearts, he turned down a years contract at Wednesday to sign for hearts but Craig Levein was dicking around so much with the team he never really got a run in a settled side. (Also got a couple of random cards that led to suspension if I remember correctly)

Steve Avory very positive about Clare, a good technician who moves the ball well and has energy and pace.

Going to be interesting to see what his weaknesses are as he sounds like he has a lot of good strengths. Can see him impressing early on and really being hyped up, has happened before with players who combine technical ability with physicality.

Hopefully this is one we look back at the end of the season and wonder what KR was doing trying to convert him to right back.

In all seriousness, excited to see what he can do in a Charlton shirt tomorrow hopefully.

There must be a reason he's been used at RB by Oxford and also Burton. But the team/squad you play at alongside fit comes heavily into it.

How old was Clare when he left us?
