Maybe it’s semantics but at this stage I’m kind of viewing Clare as more of a Marvin Johnson than Chris Cadden. Cadden was a defender who had an attacking mindset. Johnson was a winger who could, when pushed, play full back.
I think we can agree that he gives us an attacking outlet that the solid-but-undynamic Ruffels and Long don’t give us.
So much happens behind the scenes nowadays, including interest. We've broken our official transfer fee a few times since Dean Windass but all are undisclosed so Deano remains our most expensive player! I imagine the same will apply to Dickie - we'll sell him for an undisclosed fee when it occurs.
