His brief this summer should be

No loans
No jack of all trades
Bring in 3 quality players to play at right back, right wing and up front.

For what its worth I seem to recall Clarke was quite highly rated at Stoke and if we got him on a free i think would be a decent signing. He was also their captain so may bring a bit of leadership and composure to the squad. i am not therefore going to slate worthy for bringing him in. However I remain nervous about how we do transfer business and continue to be of the opinion Worthy signs players who "become available" rather than identifying good young players we want and making aggressive approaches for them.
