These Queens Park Rangers fans are confused with the latest rumours linking the Superhoops with a loan move for former Leeds United winger Jack Clarke.
According to a report by West London Sport: “A deal has almost been agreed for the winger, who is wanted by a number of Championship clubs. Spurs recently recalled Clarke, 19, from a season-long loan at his former club Leeds. He could make his R’s debut against Leeds on Saturday.” This was also relayed to these fans via West London Sport on Twitter.
The majority of the Superhoops fans were confused with why Mark Warburton wants to sign Clarke on loan, with the likes of Bright Osayi-Samuel and Eberechi Eze already at the club.
Here’s what the QPR fans had to say about the Jack Clarke loan rumours on Twitter:

Squad depth for sure but we want Eze Chair and Bright to be first choice options behind the striker so where does Clarke fit in?

Warburton is in complete denial that as a team we are crying out for a centre half & GK?

That’s a bit weird.

Is he a defender? Baffling signing, he plays same position as our best players!

Do you want Jack Clarke to join QPR?
Yes, he's amazing!
No, he's overrated!
Clarke played 28 times for Leeds, however, the 19-year-old could only manage to score and assist twice during his time at Elland Road.
These fans clearly feel that Eze and Osayi-Samuel are at the same if not better standard than Clarke, which then lets you understand the reason for their confusion.
Weird one why when the budget is so tight are we not going out and sorting out the defensive positions ? We desperately need a good solid centre half .

Weird signing

What Do We Think?
With Eze scoring 10 goals and also recording six assists so far this season, it would be highly unlikely if Clarke could top that with just a few months of the Championship season remaining.
However, with Marc Pugh underperforming in the 17 outings the 32-year-old has had, scoring and assisting just once, perhaps Warburton sees the teenager as an upgrade on him.
