[Albion] Matt Clarke

Jean Paul Van Hecke looks the more likely one to step up, IMO.
Nope.
Think Webster will keep the LCB spot as he likes to play there and is almost... bipedal (this is not the word but I'm sure you get it).

Think we'll sell him.

I hope so....mainly because his name lends itself to so many potential songs with 4 syllables
I know very little about football and attend matches largely to make lots of noise and sometimes drink many beers beforehand. As such I am not qualified to talk about Matt Clarke.
However I did see Matt Alwright filming in front of The Amex before yesterday's game, no idea what that was all about.

I wouldn't worry. This didn't stop Tim Sherwood from becoming Spurs manager.
Der der der der JeanPaul van hecker!
Ambipedal.

Well done. "Ambipedal" is more accurate than 'ambidextrous'.
'Ambidextrous' means "Right-handed, on both sides".
You could wish someone a right-handed day, dexter means 'favorable', as well as 'right-handed'
The Romans had a horror of lefties (sinister = left-handed),

I think Clarke's future depends on what happens with Cucurella
So if Cucu stays, then I think GP will count him as a centre back option (at LCB).
To get through the season, I reckon we need 5 CB's, plus 1 from the u23s who can cover for carabao, etc.
My take is that big Shane will be sold, Ostigard will be sold, Roberts will go on loan and that Van Hecke is currently above Clarke
So that leaves the 5 spots, as Dunk, Webby, Veltman, Van Hecke and Cucu. (one of either Turns, Offiah, or Tsongui, will stay in the u23s).
If Cucu is also sold, then in addition to being a wing back short, we'll also be a CB short. This is one of the reasons, I think we'll only accept a ludicrous offer. In those circumstances I can see us promoting Clarke. Not ideal as it will be tough for him to get much football

Van Hecke is probably ahead of Matt Clarke in the pecking order - but Clarke is a leftie, which changes the situation. I don't know what his contract situation is, but if Roberts is on the production line, so to speak (and I'm starting to have doubts; he seems to have stalled this season) he'll definatey need a season out on a decent loan, and I wouldn't mind Clarke as cover for a year while Roberts is away - and who knows? BDB-like, he might just get a chance and grab it!

All fair logic, but assumes that we won't just go out and buy another one. CBs are catnip to the Albion.
Not just the Romans. In my dad's generation left handed kids were forced to learn to write right handed.
This is interesting:
