Nicky Clark - What's His Future?

[BlueSuedeSambas 54,671]

Do you think we should look to move him on this Summer, or give him another year to see if can can come good?

Although a bit dissapointing, 9 goals in 24 isn't that bad for a player who was in and out of the side and missed a decent chunk of the season through injury. You also have to consider that not everybody will blend in straight away (in recent history you can look at paysmith as an example of that) there's been a number of players over the years who's form has improved hugely after they get a season to bed in find their feet and that's guys who have come from far bigger clubs than QOTS are.

Personally speaking I think he deserves another season before we make a real decision on him as a player, but even if he does hang around is he going to get enough opportunities to prove himself because he could potentially be fourth choice behind Miller, Boyd & Daly?

Will take littles place on the wing obv.

[Columbo 588]

Happy enough to give him another season but he's not really impressed and I don't see him making it for us in the long run

[USA Ger 99]

Has lots of potential and I feel he could score goals in the SPFL for us but he wont make it under the current coaching staff.

[pcbear 10,924]

Anyone that can clatter in over 40 goals a season must have something about them, I think there is a player in there but he needs to bulk up a bit though as he is way too easy shoved off the ball.

[Perth_Campsie_Ger 18,110]

I hope he stays but I also hope we get a new manager who can develop him

[WeirFleckNRothen 1,789]

There isn't a question, here.

Clark's future will be what he makes of it and being honest, he didn't make much of an impact this season, even when he started. He has time, though.

If Miller and Boyd arrive, it'll add competition; healthy competition. Some of the world's best strikers have fought off more experience competition; Benzema versus Fred, Muller versus Pizzarro.

His career is not ruinined by the potential arrival of a seasoned pro.

[black75 46]

Not really been impressed by him but would give him one more year

[there'sonlyoneamoruso 1,724]

He hasn't really had a proper chance. Compare to Daly who finished most games even when not really doing too much.

We need to coach our players to bring the best out of them. I don't know what they currently do in training, but it seems to be making them worse not better.

[Muz333 361]

He's young and has a lot of potential. Long balls up to him aren't much use but playing attacking football with another decent striker up front with him and he'll definitely be one for the future.

[Creampuff 22,628]

Happy to give him another year. It takes a while to get used to playing for Rangers.

[elephants stoned 2,994]

Hope he can kick on but very worrying that we are looking to sign all these ex players for their last pay days. Clark is a good striker when used as a poacher but under Ally he just doesn't fit in, too young and not a target man\lone striker type.

[EatDolphins 5,358]

I feel sorry for him he should have been or number one this season. I'm afraid he just won't get his chance to shine with us. He'd be better going to s team like Falkirk or Ross County.

[Moody Blue Legend 62,183]

Stick with him and get him playing.

[MasterD 7,447]

I expect he'll be a bit part player next season then leave the following if anyone will take him without us paying him off, or maybe he'll be loaned out at that point.

[Blueshoff 12,058]

Keep him and move on the coaching staff

[Ger77 742]

Stick with him and develop him.

I remember watching a certain Rangers striker in the 80's being berated by fans and he didnt turn out to badly.

[Turnberry18 3,204]

I'd like to have seen him given more time to play with Shiels.

[OneDavidCooper 2,505]

Nice lad.

Poor player.

[JamieG54 812]

With Ally in charge he better practice sitting on a bench

[the goal machine 7,824]

He's one of the players we should definitely keep IMO. He's not had the season we all thought he would but as you said, he's been injured and in and out of the team. Stick with him and he'll reward us with goals.

[Jimfanciesthedude 25,047]

His career is not ruinined by the potential arrival of a seasoned pro.

nope it will be ruined by a manager that will consistently give the old guys a full game to justify their high wages instead of keeping the lad on to find some consistent form

[LaudrupsPatrickBoots 13,540]

I like him, think his movement and work rate at times is class and think he could be a good goal scorer for us if he gets a regular run in the team.

Injuries and being in and out of the side won't have helped his confidence and neither will the pressure of feeling like he had to bang in another 40 goals this season but I really believe he'll come good for us.

[Gillete 1,338]

Move on

Never good enough
