well one is in Once Brewed in Northumberland and the other is in Twice Brewed, also in Northumberland. Before that, they were both in the Finnish town of Ala-Lemu, which translates as Stinking from the Bottom

Can't see the logic or need for another average midfielder

I don't really see Cleverley adding to our midfield what we really need.

Hang on, so in the last 3 hours Tom Cleverley has morphed into a good player and will be a decent signing for us . Ha, this internet is brilliant.

How to solve a problem like our midfield.

It's been shite since Downing and Young left and doesn't look to improve for the foreseeable.

I think Cleverley is decent enough. i think if he'd have started his career with us rather than spending the last few seasons in\ masn \us first-team we'd be enthusing about him. I think there's something about him that would improve us.

Randy Lerner + Manure = disaster.  Does Cleverly come with a letter?

Cleverley is shite. Ridiculous to pay that when Kagawa is on his way out.

I think Dave has used a good example with Cissokho. Liverpool fans thought he was bobbins and he looks excellent so far for us.

Although, just as it is not really fair to write players off after two games, it is also pretty meaningless to hail them on the same basis.

£8m? Well, we usually buy crap players for peanuts. Now we're buying average players for a lot of money. Progress?

I can't help thinking that if you have £8m to spend on a midfielder you could do better than Tom Cleverley.
