[Albion] Matt Clarke- Portsmouth defender **SIGNED and LOANED to DERBY**

[Bakero]

A Portsmouth supporting mate mentioned last week that Potter had been interested in signing Matt Clarke for Swansea and speculated they he might want to bring him to Brighton. It seems some journalists have come to this conclusion to. https://www.tribalfootball.com/arti...smouth-defender-matt-clarke-4233361#popup-sso

21 year-old CB, highly rated by Portsmouth. My mate reckons he's definitely good enough for a top championship side but obviously the leap to the PL is huge. He was their Players' Player of the Season.

Someone else can find the WAG pics. Apologies if fixtures; nothing came up when I did a search.

 

[Don Tmatter]

Potter was at Fratton for the PL 2nd leg

 

[Dick Swiveller]

He is 22 and at 6ft 1", would need to be good to force his way in.

 

[Marshy]

Could see him replacing one of our back up centre halfs.

 

[Dick Swiveller]

Dunk like tackle, though.

Yes, my extensive scouting of 1 game on the telly says this is a good shout, but hardly an area we need to strengthen, as far as we know...

Hmmm...

Some more Dunk like tackles in this video as well. No idea why the tweet embed is not working

Would be happy if he came in to replace Balogun.

On the most recent Albion Unlimited Johnny and Warren were speculating about whether Graham Potter might favour a more ball playing centre back (or two) and might also sell one of Dunk n Duffy to raise funds to strengthen the squad elsewhere. Don't know enough about Matt Clarke to know if comes under the "ball playing centre half" category but could be relevant.

 

[BLOCK F]

From memory, Matt Clarke went from Ipswich to Pompey and Adam Webster went the other way. Webster then signed for Bristol City and is very highly rated as a ball playing centre-half and tipped for the Prem.
Just saying!

 

[Bold Seagull]

After watching them in the semi finals, there wasn't a player that stood out for me.

Splitting up the Dunk and Duffy partnership.... now that does come under the very risky category

 

[Palacefinder General]

It's Pompey, buy him anyway and lend him out to one of their 3rd tier rivals next season.

 

[Cadiz Seagull]

Dunk has the ability of a ball-playing centre half.

Not sure about Duffy though

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

Would be happy if he came in to replace Balogun.

What has Leon Balogun ever done to you! Like so many of our fringe players, he hasn't really had the chance to show us what he is capable of yet, that second goal against Palarse apart.

 

[ferring seagull]

He is 22 and at 6ft 1", would need to be good to force his way in.

True but, at this point in time, we don't know who will remain on Albion's books by the end of the window !

 

[Blues Rock DJ]

think Balogun will be off.

 

[Nobby]

Didn’t look very good in the recent playoff game

A poor mans Dan Burn

But I suppose he is all we can afford now.

 

[BensGrandad]

If he comes to us and does as well as the previous CB we bought from them we would be very pleased.
