Mattyp_avfc Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 Wouldn't think he'd cost more than £2-3m, good little defender from what I know of him, just hopefully we get him :3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 OK suggests he does see Clark as more of a Utility man/DCM. Can't see how you've made that conclusion, when Pl has never played Clark there, perhaps he just wants competition for places Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dont_do_it_doug. Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 18 U21 caps for Italy in defence is nothing to be sniffed at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dont_do_it_doug. Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 If he was a Spanish attacking mid with 18 U21 caps we'd be looking at £15m+. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonLax Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 Serie A is still a quality league. He plays in Serie B. Wrong, he will play in Serie B if he is still with them when the season starts. He has played most of his career in Serie B. Pescara came up last season and went straight back down again in last place. It would be like buying someone from Reading and claiming they are a Premier League quality player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArteSuave Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 (edited) He has played most of his career in Serie B. Pescara came up last season and went straight back down again in last place. It would be like buying someone from Reading and claiming they are a Premier League quality player. Most of his career? He's 21.

Can't see how you've made that conclusion, when Pl has never played Clark there, perhaps he just wants competition for places Just basing it on the fact that it seems odd having 5 players challenging for 2 spots. Could well be wrong. Granted PL hasn't played Clark there but he clearly has the ability to do that role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacketspuds Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 If we signed Capuano this may mean that we are looking at using a 3-5-2 formation at times next season. Although that would also mean we would desperately need an attacking midfielder, which I suppose we do anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pez1974 Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 If PL wants Capuano - I want Capuano. A couple of points though: Just because we have sufficient players in a position, if a great prospect becomes available for the right fee, surely we must sign them? If, for example, Clark become surplus as a result the squad and team will be better for it. His English is bloody good for a 21 year old Italian. There's a few on VT who could learn better English 'n stuff like from him! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Folski Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 I reckon Clark's contract was probably something to do with he'd have a year left and it was to ensure we'd get a bit of value if he was deemed surplus to requirements. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villa probably have seen it as giving him an extra 5k a week £260k but could mean a few mil if we decide to sell an Irish International Centre back at the end of next season.

But how is that when he'd be 5th choice ? Anyway I'm getting your point and I agree with you .. Even if we sold him with 500k next .. better than him gone free + get a year from him if needed ..

I also have a feeling Lambert wants to give the 3-5-2 another try but with better CBs. Just a hunch but I recon we will see it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshVilla Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 He's 700k - 1 mill.... its not like he's costing 5 mill + not like its a major gamble I can't believe a so called ITK got it right for a change still ITSOTP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Steve Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 Clark won't be here next season unless he dramatically improves. Club are just ensuring he's not lost on the cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted July 26, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted July 26, 2013 I think he will revert back to 3-5-2 aswell even though it's a terrible idea. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
