Keep him? Good option from bench?
Sell him? Cash in and reinvest the cash?
Probably the former for me, especially with Philogene likely to be off. |  |

People put way too much stock in pre-season. He was fantastic last season, try to remember that more than this warm-up stuff. |
Oh I remember which is why I make my opinion as we all do
No doubting his performances last season but I do have my doubts ref being a premier league player coupled with the fact he hasn’t really shone in well known surroundings to him unlike many others have that’s all |  |

If they both left and we signed Armand Laurienté (we obviously done biz with that club before with Muric) I could certainly get in board with Laurienté and Maeda as being the options on the left at this level. [Post edited 9 Aug 21:30]

Don't know enough about Lauriente to pass judgement.
Tho my takeaways from one of his YouTube highlight reels are his pace and the openness of the defending (which Clarke might also have a field day with). |  |

For me he’s been the biggest disappointment this pre season [Post edited 9 Aug 20:27]

Played three absolute killer passes yesterday. Looked really up for it. |  |

He’s strong and fast, takes full backs on at pace, completely different profile to Clarke in the press. Would be a dream one for us. |  |

Is definitely keep him, over Philogene too. |  | | |

Absolute no brainier, keep him.
One of our best players last season, fundamental to our promotion.
Pre season is just a time to experiment and get up to speed re fitness. It matters little as to what happens when the season kicks off. |  | | |

Maybe it’s just me , just think the quality we’re bringing in now highlights some inefficiencies
Different player I admit to Fatawu but he gets me off my seat (theoretically obviously ) and all I see for the most is Jack running into players or being shrugged off the ball pulling his shorts up and correcting his Alice band for the most
Truly hope I’m proven wrong if we keep him | |

As much as I hate agreeing with you…. I agree.
And likewise, I’d like nothing more than for him to have a belter of a season! | |

Sell.
Talented boy, inconsistent but talented no doubt, just physically he’s nowhere near the level of Premier League football.
I think we’d get good money from a top end Championship club, I can see him at a West Ham, Wolves, Sheffield Utd, Southampton. |  | | |

I'm kinda in the fence with this one.... JC was great running at tired defences coming on late in games last season.
Not sure he can be that affective in the EPL, I really like JC... but not confident he can make a difference driving back inside...
Keep for me, for now unless we bring in others. |  | | |

PL defences also tire. |  |

I think most would agree that both JC and JP weren't really good enough last time round, ( and I say that as a fan of JC ), so to be good enough this time round they will most certainly have to have improved. Only way we'll know if they have for sure is seeing them play in it. JP might not be here anyway, so in my opinion, either way, we need another wide left player. |  | | |

JC being able to do what he did last season in the Championship last season, in my opinion, depends purely on his ability to compete physically. Him and Jaden were just brushed off the ball too easily last time, so if Jack's had a bit of time on the weights he should be okay. | |

Way off this pre season so …..
I’d part exchange maybe |
Depends on who the part exchange is. For example, I'd rather Jack, than Fleetwood's Mac...

Seems the jury is indeed out on this one, not such a mad discussion point!
And since posting this, I see there's been links to Boro so maybe GON is not sure too.
He was also in the reserve squad v Oxford, rather than the 1st team v Wycombe, so maybe he is off.
I said maybe, calm down you lot!! | |

Hutchinson was also not particularly effective in the PL for us and got only 2 assists to Clarke's 4, despite featuring much more than Clarke.
I think that was mainly due to the fact that we didn't have throughout the team players of sufficient skill and strength to be able to compete but we seem now to be much stronger in that sense, so it seems to me that Clarke could play a part, especially late in games.
Ultimately, it is a decision for O'Neil because maybe he does favour more physical players but it would be difficult to offload both Clarke and Philogene. [Post edited 10 Aug 9:32]

I am surprised getting rid is even an option to be honest, surely we keep him, I feel he's going to be much more effective this time around. | | | |

Match winner. Penalty taker. Keep him! Long shorts wearer too!! |  | | |

Personally think with a little more involvement and encouragement he will work well with the new players around him …….for me keep. | | | |
| What to do with Jack Clarke.. on 09:21 - Aug 10 with 256 views | JammyDodgerrr |
We would not be able to replace him with an equal player who could have an impact, in my view. It would be madness to sell him. He's such a different profile to our other attackers and it wouldn't surprise me if he's even better this season, than he was last season. |  |

OOohh on that note, I wonder who our new penalty taker will be (assuming Philogene goes)?
Doubt Clarke will be on the pitch so much if he does stay, so we'll need a new regular taker. | |

Not going to judge him too much in pre-season, but his performances when it mattered last season are enough for me.
Maeda as a starter, a proper runner, and then Clarke coming on against a tired full back, always going to have a chance. He's fast, just not particularly strong.
What I'd love. Really love. Is for him to rock up to the next game with a buzz cut and shorts like Glenn Hoddle. A proper fresh start.
He's got skill in abundance, so no. Can't let him leave, unless Philogene is staying. Need different profiles for different games and Clarke and Philogene are completely different to Maeda. |  | | |
