From the Irish edition of the Mirror:

FOOTBALL: LEICESTER LOAN FOR CLARKE

BY PAUL DOWLING

CLIVE Clarke last night became the first of the Irish brigade to be farmed out by Sunderland when he joined Leicester City on a three month loan.

And he could be followed by fellow Republic of Ireland international Graham Kavanagh in moving away from the Stadium of Light with Sheffield Wednesday leading the chase.

The pair have failed to feature in Roy Keane's plans so far after being left out of the travelling part for their pre-season tour of Ireland, or their training camp to Portugal.

"I just want to play," revealed 27-year-old Clarke, who hasn't featured in a competitive game for Sunderland in over eight months.

The left back's short term deal until Christmas could pave the way for the Black Cat's to swoop for Ian Harte after his release by Levante yesterday.

With two years left on his contract after moving from West Ham United back in August 2006, the former Stoke City man added: "It's an opportunity to get games under my belt and to get match fit again."

The switch to Leicester comes just a day after the Wicklow native turned down a full-time transfer to Leeds United.

He said: "I didn't want to drop down to League One. I know, at the very least, I'm capable of doing a job in the Championship."

How many times must we hear this shite FFS ? :icon_roll

It is utterly irrelevant

Both Savage and Lennon were highly rated, and highly scouted, in a pretty decent Crewe team

Izzett was a permanent fixture in Chelsea reserves, but couldn't get a game because of the regime at the time - again highly rated and frequently scouted

Elliott was a gamble from the lower leagues - some you win (like him) and some you lose, like Benjamin, Lewis, Delaney etc. etc.etc. and all the other muppets we have signed over the past few years

For every Elliott there is a dozen Andy Welsh's etc. :icon_roll
