Title: Chase on for US star

Chase on for US star
Premier clubs eye international midfielder

A host of Premier League clubs are ready to battle it out to sign United States international Ricardo Clarke, skysports.com understands.

The 26-year-old midfielder has more than 20 caps for the US and is an integral part of their side.

Now he is ready to make the move to Europe and a switch to England looks the most likely prospect.

Clarke is out-of-contract with MLS side Houston Dynamo and is set to leave on a free transfer in January.

Defensive midfielder Clarke would have no issues in landing a work-permit needed to play in England as he is a regular in the US side, which has qualified for the World Cup finals.

Clarke is odds-on to start in Bob Bradley's midfield when it comes up against England in the World Cup clash in Rustenburg on 12th June.

Clarke looks set to be one of two Houston players making their way across the Atlantic this January, with team-mate Stuart Holden also tipped to make the move to England

We were never in the running.... but I wish him well all the same, very tenacious defender who can also play the holding mid.  He has a tendency to be rash and draw foolish fouls though, so hopefully he'll learn to curb that in Europe.

Clark played a handful of games at right back with the MetroStars when there were injury problems, but for the rest of his professional career he's been a midfielder. In his games for the U.S. he's been played exclusively in midfield.

You need to check your facts again because he was also playing left back for Houston when James first got there.

Clark is first and foremost a midfielder, even if he has played a few games at fullback when his team was in a pinch.

He is listed as a midfielder in both his Houston Dynamo bio (http://houston.mlsnet.com/players/bio.jsp?team=t200&player=clark_r&playerId=cla587610&statType=current) as well as his U.S. Soccer bio (http://www.ussoccer.com/Teams/MNT/C/Ricardo-Clark.aspx), and any Premier League club that is eying him would surely want him as a midfielder.

To describe him as a "defender who can also play the holding mid" is misleading, to say the least.

Who gives a shit if you find it "misleading" or not?  You claim he played a "right back with the MetroStars when there were injury problems, but for the rest of his professional career he's been a midfielder. In his games for the U.S. he's been played exclusively in midfield."    Was he playing "exclusively" in midfield when he was in Houston?  I guess not.

The mistake you make is in thinking that people actually give two shits one way or another about Ricardo Clark to the extent that they'd be 'mislead' about anything regarding him.  At any rate I didn't post it for your convenience, if you don't like it you're always free to ride to f**k out and go back to whichever "soccer" site you crawled in from.

One thing's for sure Clark has played a whole lot more defense than just a "handful of games at right back with the MetroStars", including playing most of the 2007 season in defense for Houston.  Anybody who was watching that team at the time he got suspended could attest to that.

Side note:
I remember seeing an interview with Clark and they was talking about him and his defensive abilities. True to fact he also mentioned that his desire was to play for the US. His dad took an interest in TnT but no one responded favorably. He said that other than the US he's always supporting the Socawarriors....

All that says is that officially he's a midfielder... something which was never disputed.  His own club's website lists him alternatively as a central midfielder and a defensive midfielder.  I said he was a defender, Zeppo came and said he's officially a midfielder.  The only thing I countered from there was the notion that he only played a handful of games in defense for MetroStars... because as I stated I really couldn't care what his official designation was.

Looking at Clark's options on the Isles

Reports out of Great Britain have Ricardo Clark garnering interest from English Premier League side Burnley FC and Scottish powerhouse Celtic FC. The American midfielder's contract with Major League Soccer expires December 31st and he is set to move come the January transfer window.

After seven years in MLS, Clark is now keen on seeking a team abroad and, unlike his Houston Dynamo team-mate Stuart Holden, is not considering re-signing with MLS. The 26-year-old midfielder made it clear to the Houston front office via email that he will not return and plans to sign a contract with a European team.

After this summer's Confederations Cup, Clark garnered attention from Serie A side Livorno. The move looked to be done, but talks between both sides lost steam and have not resurfaced since July.

Clark close to Bundesliga pact
 
Eintracht Frankfurt say that they are on the verge of signing US international and former Houston Dynamo midfielder Ricardo Clark.

Ever since last summer's Confederations Cup, Clark has been the subject of rumors regarding a move to Europe including reports of a deal with Italian Serie A club Livorno and various French clubs, all of which proved to be false.

Following the conclusion of the 2009 MLS season, Clark informed the Dynamo that he would not be returning to play for the Texas club and would pursue opportunities in Europe.

Clark makes debut for Eintracht Frankfurt

American midfielder Ricardo Clark made his debut for Eintracht Frankfurt, playing the entire match in Saturday's 3-3 tie at Mainz.

Clark, a starter on the U.S. national team, transferred to Frankfurt in January from Major League Soccer's Houston Dynamo. He pulled a calf muscle during training and dressed for the first time on Feb. 27 but sat on the bench for eight straight matches before starting Saturday.

Clark banking on momentum

You never get a second chance to make a first impression, so they say. An adage that can safely be dispensed with in the case of Ricardo Clark. The US international may look shy and almost timid off the pitch, but on it he can be as fearsome and battle-hardened as they come.

Only when you recognise the 27-year-old's hidden traits do you begin to appreciate his true worth - a measure that could equally be applied to the Stars and Stripes. Clark and the US boys have been seen in a different light since abandoning their cautious approach at the 2009 FIFA Confederations Cup, where they caused a sensation by finishing runners-up.
