Like with the other players has improved under Carlos, but when you consider he's nowhere near a lot of players that have come and gone like JDG,Cork etc paying £17m even in this day and age is an utter rip off.

Seems a nice bloke and i'm really happy he's making headway, the transfer fee almost killed him but that's not his fault, reading the interview he doesn't seem to be as mentally strong as he should be, which is something he needs to work on .

Fingers crossed he bangs a few more goals in before the end of the season .

Yes, Cork £10 m Clucas £ 17 m not even close, Jack has been superb for Burnley all season, Clucas mostly hides from the ball .

I know they perform different jobs but c'mon, we'd have been far better keeping hold of Jack and putting that money towards a player we actually needed .

If we were going to sign a steady eddy, may as well have kept the one we already had and strengthened elsewhere. £ 17 m quid even in todays bonkers market was a rip off for Sam.

You can’t really compare Clucas to Cork. Clement played him like he was Cork and he struggled, but he’s not the same type of midfielder.

Andy King would be a better comparison from our current squad.

Yes, i did mention they don't really do the same job , my point is that Clucas isn't really any type of upgrade or fill any role in the team where real urgency was needed, there was just no need to splash out £ 17 m on a utility player that can only play one type of position, the words of clement are still ringing in my ears " he can play and cover a whole host of positions" well, we know that ain't true !

Jack Cork also performed in a few different positions and did a decent job, he's now being played in a position he revels in at Burnley and has won an England cap, IMO the Clucas signing sums up the club perfectly, it's a move not properly thought out, cost way too much money for what he brings to the team,isn't exactly young and has no real craft in any position !

It sounds like i'm doing the player down, i don't wish to, it's not Sam's fault at all, i think he's decent, a steady eddy type player, but we already had plenty of those in Fer,Ki,Cork,Mesa,Fulton,Carol and an aging Leon .

Why sign him for that amount of money ? it's just madness IMO .

Apart from the games against Arsenal he's still been one of the weakest links in the squad all season.

Sounds like a similar pattern at his many previous clubs, that is a poor start and then improving. But despite a few good games he's still been a disappointing signing at £16m. Shown glimpses of ability but nowhere near justifying that price which isn't his fault. Seems a nice lad who is doing his best though. Needs to be more consistent. Then we might have a decent player on our hands.

Just imagine if we'd had a different manager all season and we didn't have the toxic atmosphere's for 3 months. He'd probably be on 6 or 7 by now, a tasty return for someone who can provide the flexibility he can.

“With the old manager, every day we would be working on shape."

That was so obvious from watching the team and seeing how they struggled on the ball. I'm amazed that a professional football coach wouldn't also see the problem and change it. Unbelievable inflexibility and/or stupidity from Clement.

I think he's been underwhelming tbh. He was absolutely fantastic against Arsenal with timed runs into the box and his goals. Seems the stronger part of his game to me but we see so little of that side of him. Big improvement under CC though obviously.

Edit - always would have liked to see Hoddle in a role with us (religious adviser, or disability officer maybe ). Be a great addition to the recruitment / football director side of things.

People have got short memories. Cork was getting constant criticism on this forum and most were happy to see him go. Anyway, f...orget about him.

Clucas and Ki seem to be creating a good partnership, with Carroll subbing for Ki later on. It looks very promising.

I think he’s been pivotal to how we’ve played since Carvalhal has come in. A lot of his work goes unnoticed and considering to how he was misused by clement and then treated by some of our fans for the first half of the season, I think he’s done really well and will hopefully get better.

That's true, there's a lot of off the ball stuff going on. Jack used to do that too, to be fair to him.

Moving off Sam, but Andy King has impressed me in his brief performances I've seen.

Andy King looks a far better player than Sam, based on their respective appearances under Carlos, ignoring the games under Clement.

There's a very similar interview with Clucas in The Telegraph - a few extra bits. I suppose he was the player told to do the press interview.

He's worked hard working his way through the system.

Still a way to go, but a lot of players would have given up long before now.

Keep it up Sam, and give us a few more match winning performances like Arsenal.

What a dose of reality at Lincoln, Chris Sutton as your manager.

That's enough to make anyone give up

All mine is still in tact. You know it so does everyone else.

Clement was the answer but nobody could've seen his demise and stubbornness this season.

Hull were far better when Silva came in after they'd sold their so called better players. Ask Clucas.

Siggy is bang average

Jenkins CV continues to impress.

I think, although he may not necessarily have proven his price tag was worth it yet, since Carvahal has come in he has been excellent, a different player. I do think he is hugely affected by the fans, something he may need to improve on. His body language would be really poor when things weren't coming off for him in the earlier season and when getting subbed you could clearly see his frustration and he looked lost out there. When results/performance started picking up under Carlos e.g the Liverpool game he ran and ran and worked tremendously hard and the crowd was fully behind that and you could see his confidence soar. Could be a great player for us!
