Just wondering how good this kid is? My son tells me he is an excellent player but how come he is only costing 12.5m when a similar player like Luke Shaw traded for 30m a couple of years back.

Pardon my ignorance but would like to hear your comments as I find this forum very insightful.

I rate Clyne quite highly, he's very good at going forward, but a much better defender than Moreno for example.

In regards to the reported £12.5million fee, there's only twelve months left on Clyne's current contract and he has apparently indicated that he wants to leave. He's also about 5 years older than Luke Shaw was when he moved to Man United. I suppose both of those points factor into his valuation.

He soon is in his final year of the contract at Soton. It runs out 30 June 2016.

I guess that's why the price is so much lower than expected. It is what happens when a player can see the goal line of his contract. Just another year down south and he is a free agent!

Eish don't want to be funny but how many more threads on Clyne, guess it's gonna happen every time a new player is signed.

Last season he was being praised left right and centre by the press. He had a great season I would think. He looked solid on the few games I've seen him.

I think it was 7 or 8 when we captured Milner, NOT including one of mine asking where everyone thought he was going to live. whistle

Wonder what Clyne's favourite grub is?
Should i do a separate new poll thread d'ya's reckon? laugh

Growler is better than Glen


That job interview was going so well until I realized I was fukked up on acid in the middle of a cornfield naked and talking to a scarecrow.

From what I've seen he's currently better than Moreno but not all that. 12 million is a good buy. I've also seen 19 million thrown about which would be ridiculous money for him.

Clyne is easily in the top 5 right backs in the league.
