On long-term talent our Rating reads 7. At 31 Clough is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.3 reflects that trajectory.
Clough is operating at his career peak — the 2021/22 level is the level.
2.1 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume across 6 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st of 12) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume.
Rated 7 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.1 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 22–27 (~1), then tapers with age. At 31, Clough sits on 0.3, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Clough's projected Rating — 7 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
