Tom Cleverley - Loan Confirmed

[Legion]

Possibly deserves a dedicated thread. £8m and undergoing a medical or is that just the usual supposition, to put it politely.

[Ryu]

That's moved fast if so.  Where are you getting the medical stuff from?

[JUAN PABLO]

Too much money

[supertom]

I think the medical part is actually related to a few hundred Villa fans currently having chest pains over the prospect of spending 8 million on Tom Cleverley.

[JUAN PABLO]

Good news daily mail say 7 million;/

[ciggiesnbeer]

Quit yer bitchin. If it happens just be happy we are spending money.

 

[Chris Jameson]

I've not been this excited about a signing since we signed Steve Hunt or possibly Mark Kinsella.

[Malandro]

Changed my mind. I think this will be a good move. Reading about his career, it appears as though Fergie tried to mould him into a more defensive midfielder, when his strength is attacking and goals.

I hope this comes off now, maybe not for that price, but he is miles better than I thought we'd be after.

The Wigan fan who sits opposite me said he was a good player for them. Oh well, looks like its happening. Prove me wrong Tom.

[kiddylion]

There's still a massive difference between not being good enough for Man Utd's midfield & not being good enough for villa's.
Same situation as cissokho & Liverpool IMO

[Ron Manager]

Utterly ridiculous if true. Lambert and the club owner have lost touch with reality.

Lambert should have gone to Specsavers!

[supertom]

At least it seems that supposed 10 million budget (inc wages) was absolute twaddle.

[Clampy]

Utterly ridiculous if true. Lambert and the club owner have lost touch with reality.

Dammed if you do.....

[CJ]

I don't rate Cleverley at all, and if we've paid £7-8m I'll be more than slightly pissed off. Hope I'm proved wrong

Steve stone for me
