Tom Cleverley - Now signed for Everton

[Tony Erdington]

I heard a rumour that Cleverley was signing for everton? I don't know, so ive looked on sky sports transfer site, and true enough their spouting that talks are going well between respective parties, Does any one on here know any diferent or is this the state of play, and cleverly is going to everton???

It has been his very poorly disguised plan since last September when Everton messed United about on terms. For his wages I expect more than 4 weeks of decent form. Surely we can find better.

[passitsideways]

Happy if he stays on, indifferent if he leaves. If we scout well enough, I bet the transfer fee + lower wages would net us a better player at a smaller cost than paying him the 40+k/week I suspect he'll want plus a signing-on fee.

Just been on SSN that he is in talks with Everton and 2 other clubs. No mention of any negotiations with Villa.

[supertom]

If we can get him good. If not, we can find better. I do wonder if someone a bit more creative and technically gifted might be better. We could do with someone with an eye for a pass more than industrious. Delph gives us industry.

[aj2k77]

Not interested in him at all, for £50k+ minimum there are better players for cheaper.

[PaulWinch again]

I'd be happy to have him at the club he's a good player and we're light on them, but I doubt he'll sign for us.

Feel pretty disappointed that he doesn't see us as an attractive enough proposition to stick around.  Particularly as Tim was getting the best out of him and he was forming a strong partnership with Delph.

It's difficult to slate him - in the end he made a significant contribution to keeping us up.  But I do feel a bit let down.

No point getting carried away. He knows exactly what he has with us and that as he has already clearly stated is a very important factor. He's right doing his due diligence as a free agent and researching his options. He played superbly for a good spell and has developed a solid relationship with Delph. I want him to stay and think he'll be a very good player for us next year.

See ya *waves*

[warleyboy]

So long, farewell, auf wiedersehen, adieu.......fuck him if he wants off..

[OCD]

On the SSN app, the headline led with him talking to Everton but the story named us as one of the clubs he's talking to. Just seems like media bias, they've hyped Everton. If it had been someone other than Sherwood come in it would have probably been an easy decision for him. Hopefully he's got a bit to think about because Sherwood has taken him from nowhere to the verge of the England squad in a matter of months.

Precisely.

If you were him and were free to sign for any club who was willing to offer you a contract, is there any reason that you wouldn't at least see what other offers were on the table?

[manic-road]

He should see staying at Villa as a very good option as Tim has given him the freedom to burst into the box to score the odd goal and get his form back. Hopefully either way it will be sorted soon.

I wonder what a player like Cleverley would do if Bournmouth saw him as a good option on a free and with the prem money they will have offered him a lot better deal than other clubs on a 4 year contract

Be interesting to see how he would spin that one in his I'm not moving for money interview

( I'm only surmising here not actually suggesting Bournmouth could be interested in him)
