Connor Clifford

[eldo 868]

Plymouth fans are crazy about him.

Any Rumors on what will happen with Clifford? Will he go out on loan again or will he stick around. Would love to see him involved in the Ipswich game but I'd imagine we will be putting out a full squad to improve our confidence.

Would love to see him getting a loan move to west ham or something!

you can't loan such a Talent to a Club like West-Ham... before we do sth like that we should consider loaning him to a club like WBA, Blackpool etc...

West Ham would be a good move. Plymouth were in the same shape as the Hammers in that half of the table, Connor could be useful there, him and Parker would link up well.

Connor will almost definitely go back on loan, i am sure the club are looking for the best possible loan for him, Championship or league 1 will be where he will end up.

Loaned to Notts County

He needs to play.

Notts County sit two places above the relegation zone

Let's us see him in a highly pressurised situation. He's a natural leader so he should shine here.

Well Plymouth weren't in much better situation either. And he shined there. He was described as one of their best players.

Conor Clifford has been called into the senior Republic of Ireland squad for the first time.

The 19-year-old midfielder, who still awaits his Chelsea debut, will link up with Giovanni Trapattoni's men for their friendly with Croatia in Dublin after playing for the Under 21s against Austria in Sligo tonight.

Clifford, who has had spells on loan with Notts County and Plymouth, is required in the senior squad after a number of midfielders pulled out of the game.

In other news, John Mikel Obi has pulled out of Nigeria's friendly with Ghana in Watford, while John Terry, Frank Lampard and Ashley Cole will no longer be in action against Holland after that friendly at Wembley was called off for safety reasons.

Jeffrey Bruma, on loan at Hamburg, was a part of the Dutch squad for that game also.

Yeeeeeeeeees.

[OReillyD36 311]

Delighted Absolutely sick of Darron Gibson, Paul Green and Glen Whelan in our midfield. Not sure if it's a justified call up though, hope he plays none the less.

[LDN Blue 7,903]

Was a slight bit disappointed not to see him in pre-season, but he can't take everyone now.

Hopefully AVB will see more of him this season

[termninja 5,290]

Great thing for the young lad. Congrats

[francozola 2,040]

Delighted for him!

[teignman 441]

Good for Conor. He reminds me of a smaller Super Frank with his style of play.

[EskWeston 696]

Connor really needs a loan. Like so many players coming through the English set up his second season in the reserves/loans has not gone so great for him. He really needs to get a good loan move where he can spend the season and play some games and really push himself forward and to make a name for himself. This call up is a good thing for him as it may raise his profile a little with clubs looking for loan players.
