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.

[Zeppo]

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 as well as his U.S. Soccer bio, 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.

[Zeppo]

And Roy Keane played a handful of games in central defense for Manchester United when there was an injury crisis. Would you also describe him as a "defender who can also play the holding mid"?

Anyway, there's no need for you to get all bent out of shape. It's not my fault if practically every post you make is a comedy of errors.

He did?  When was that?

The only thing getting bent out of shape is the rusty tin can between your mother's legs.  Have you figured out who your father is yet... or is the lottery still going on?

They could do worse. However, one wonders how much of a risk it would be for him to make that move prior to WC 2010, rather than after it.

Clark is a midfielder. You got called out on it. Take it like a man and get rid of this immature, tantrum act fella.

Fella you could join Zeppo and go fold up inside yuh mother c**t fuh all I care... since yuh want insert yuhself in the mix.  Whether he's officially a midfielder or a defender I personally couldn't give two f**ks about because he's played extensively at both. 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.

Ah see yuh vex... yuh team getta comprehensive beating yesterday.... doh take it out on de man! 

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....

Great. You saw him play some defense for Houston. Good job. Why the need to throw out childish insults and take severe personal offense for someone stating a fact about the player whose thread this is about? You need psychiatric help.
