Chris Manning has put an interesting argument for the return of Clough on LoV [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]
Never been a big fan of Clough and I tend to think that a lot of the hype is based on "he's one of our own" sentimentality, but he may have a point based on the fact that it's a different team now.
Question is whether or not his playing style is what we need in a striker.
Personally I reckon that our strength is defending in numbers which leaves us a bit short up front and therefore we need pace to counterattack quickly so I'd prefer a striker with raw pace. Parky seems to be after another "target man" if the names we've been associated with are anything to go by. Boggers reckons we'll get Forestieri which would be more craftsmanlike around the box.
The case for Clough though is that he can drift around and find decent positions and used to know where the goal is.
We need a striker of some description in today and if Parky can't get his targets would anyone settle for Clough coming back?
PS: Is it likely that Parky is looking for another target man as he's only going to play one striker anyway?
