I think Harry will stay - he is long term player as he is so young and has developed loads. This is, I see, an addition on loan wiht potential as we have no guarentee Axel will stay (please stay) |
So which defender will you de-register instead?
We only have limited spots in the squad and if we don't de register Harry we will have a surplus of right backs in the 25. |  |

- Over 100 PL games
- Turns 27 in January
- Signed by Europa League winners for £10m in summer
- England caps
- Versatile - CB, RB, DM
- Foreign based but PL experienced....about as good a loan as we can hope for logistically! | |

Assume he ment stay as in not sold.
Wouldn't be opposed to Harry getting a champ loan and see if he can improve by playing loads. |  |

Would assume Harry Clarke is moving on if Godfrey comes in.
I know Harry is a hometown boy, but since he's come here we've looked to upgrade that position a couple of times and honestly I don't think he's up to the level. He's too poor positionally too. |
Youngster who we have probably got promoted a bit quickly for as it's such a tough role to play in this league....loan spell in the Championship will do him good for a few months as is still a bit raw for us at the moment | |

Would agree with that, I think Harry is not good enough to be part of the squad at the moment, so loaning him out seems a good option to see if a run of games will improve him. | |

As much as I would love him stay, there is no way we will carry 4 traditional right backs.
Whilst he's not been bad at all this season, I still think he's got a little bit to learn and playing towards the top end of the Championship against wingers a level down would be no bad thing for us. | | | |

Are tweets linked not showing for anyone else? Been happening a few days now. Can see the link but when I open the post it’s not there. |
Try refreshing, I get it occasionally but that normally works. |  |

It's a shame with Harry Clarke as he seems a great fella. Pity his ability doesn't match his enthusiasm. He's a bit of a liability when it comes to defending as is Davis, but in his case you have the knowledge that he can put in a fine cross from free kicks and corners and can set up goals consistently. | | | |

conflicted on this one. Was highly thought of earlier on in his career but not ever looked like kicking on but knows the league, we aren't in a position where we can just go and get whomever we want because of a league position.
Good luck to him, hope he does well here. |  | | |

Not sure that England caps in 2021 is the mark of a good player. Afterall, he played alongside Jesse Lingard for England!
I'm a bit meh about it. Hasn't played consistently well for a while now and whilst he has prem experience, our other signings with prem experience (Johnson and Phillips) have hardly set the world alight.
Probably a bit of an upgrade on that position for now until Axel is back, so as long as it's not a particularly expensive deal then it's a decent loan signing |  | | |

I've found that your team tweets are sometimes just not showing in your posts. Same with some other ones as well. Sometimes i click off and go back again 'et voila', there it is! No idea what's going on. I assume it's just me! |  |

It obviously hasn't worked there for whatever reason but Atalanta are one of the best recruiters in the whole of Europe and they identified him in the summer. |
Hes only played 22 mins this season ?? | | | |
| Ben Godfrey reported by Fabrizio on Twitter on 16:00 - Jan 3 with 2906 views | le2blue |
especially in the role he will be playing, the team shape means the RB role is often the one that is exposed so 1:1 defending and pace to recover are critical. Godfrey isn't the best at heading and can get caught ball-watching a little, but think he is an excellent choice for what we need. |  | | |

I just posted a twitter link to an overlap clip on McKenna's coaching and whilst the V link is there in the post, the tweet doesn't show always. Then I refreshed and went back on and it was there. Strange! |  | | |

He was called up to an England squad in 2021, mustve been doing something right. |
Kalvin Phillips was Englands player of the tournament in 2021…
That was almost 4 years ago. | | | |

Nah. Had the potential a few years back, but nothing of not at Atalanta. |  |

I think more likely that H Clarke is likely moving on.
Axel has done enough to warrant an extension, nothing suggests he wants to leave.
You'd think AT and BG would offer a really good right sided pair/ competition. |
Sadly, I think that looks the most likely scenario. HC is probably one of the most vulnerable. It’ll be a shame if/when he moves on - snap him in half and he’s got ITFC written right through the middle. |  |

I'm still not convinced he is a traditional right back.
When he does move on, he'll quickly settle into being a very good, functional centre back.
Probably somewhere like Portsmouth or Reading. One of those clubs you have to check what division they're currently in. |  | | |

This narrative confused me a bit, because most successful signings in the McKenna era hadn’t played consistently.
Just need to look at:
Davis - Not doing much at Bournemouth or Leeds, now one of the best left backs in the league.
Delap - Not doing much at Stoke or Hull, now one of the most in demand strikers in the league.
Hutchinson - Never breaking through at Chelsea or Arsenal, now one of the first names on team sheet here.
Hirst - His record was atrocious, got us promoted and looked ok in his Prem features.
Tuanzebe - Played about 10 games in 3 years before coming here and been a solid feature since. | | | |

Whilst true
We've got 19 games left
How long for him to get fit? |  |

Is this a clear indication that McKenna sees the back three/five as the preferred shape for the rest of the season?
Axel/Godfrey
O’Shea/Woolfy
Greaves/Burgess
That’s a very impressive set of options with quite a lot of flexibility too (well on the right side anyway). | | | |

My memory of Ben Godfrey was him being a long thin skinny guy, all elbows & angles, but I was at Venezia Vs Atalanta earlier this season and watching him warm up he looked like he’d turned into a proper beast. Could’ve been a trick of the Venetian light with the Atalanta training gear though, both of which are mama mia good. |  | | |

Harry is still young remember. He's got a lot about his game which is very good but is still learning. |
If harry were to leave on loan, would love him to go Wycombe | |
