Albeit its been suggested his preferred destination is Whitt Moor?

[gordon_brittas]

Weren?t the Scabs supposedly interested in signing him?

[paulwardle]

Ex players coming back never seems a good idea to me. Clucus has had injury problems and is at an age where he could be prone to more. Leave well alone better younger players out there.

I would be very surprised and happy if Sam Clucas came back at this point in time. There must be a good few Championship clubs who'd offer him a contract and then there's league one.

League One perhaps. But can?t see a clamour higher up for someone with his appearance record over recent years off the back of turning out for the worst side that division has seen in years higher up.

He played 30 odd games in the championship last season so not that injury prone.

Well depends on Cook I suppose.....

And, if he is interested, his wage demands.

I think they also say that about managers! Cook broke that mould.

Sam clucas in a good league 2 side would be a cut above the rest. Welcomed with open arms from my perspective

John Duncan didn?t do too badly on his return either and, coincidentally, didn?t he return after a spell at Ipswich too?

Regarding Clucas, if he does return, which position would you play him in?

Duncan broke the mould before Cook, just to be awkward!

Going further back Teddy Davison also had 2 times as well. We've had 4 that have left & come back, 3 of them worked, 1 didn't.

And, that is the only position I see him in - on the left of Naylor - but I do not remember him as a ball winner.

He seemed to get on alright playing defensive midfield in the premier league, should probably be alright.

[Bonnyman]

Don?t see any problem with him coming back , let?s face it Cook normally always picks players he has managed, he was in league above last time and was one of the best in that league and then ended up in the prem, would be a massive signing, yes the average age is slightly worrying but it?s a quality signing, anybody over 30 should only be on a 2 year imo

If he's capable of playing a decent chunk of Rotherham's season in the Championship, their fans saying he was a top performer in that team leagues above and we don't give him a ridiculous contract, then we will be doing good business.
