Going by the Hull game (and maybe the other 2 too), that's not so much as a sacrifice as it would be the correct decision.

If he is pissing off that twat Pat Murphy then he is already adding value. Good job Tom.

Pat Murphy was quality with his questioning.

He asked the questions we all want to ask and didn't accept Tom trying to skirt the issue.

Murphy should be praised for this.

Murphy can fuck off. Player joins one team, may have preferred another, so what? I'm sure that's the case in about 99% of transfers.

I thought it was good to hear an interviewer asking questions that were about 10% as testing as a politician gets for once. People in football get away with spouting absolute bollocks, contradicting themselves and ignoring evidence. Lambert very much included

I quite like Murphy too.  Think Cleveley has come across as a little cocky, having just signed he should just get his head down and play for his future.

why cringe? He's having a bit of fun with his new teammates.

Decent debut.  Worked hard, covered a lot of ground and did OK in possession.

Solid start. Most impressed how well he, Delph and Westwood combined today.

Who knows, one day we might see Delph, Westwood and Cleverley in England's midfield.

Didn't see enough of todays match to know if he played that well, but remember him making a good block from a in direct free kick.  It is just today's sort of game where we need him to be tidy on the ball, and to relieve pressure on the team.

I really don't hold the Everton thing against him anyway. He's played for Martinez before and obviously enjoyed his time at Wigan. It's not too far from his house oop north and Everton have been finishing a lot higher than us over the last few seasons. From a non-Villa supportinig perspective it seemed like a no brainer to go to Everton if the move was there.
