He did, was released went to New York Cosmos, came back to Coventry from whom we purchased him.

Cheers, Dave, forgot we resigned him.

All we are saying is give cleverly a chance

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Maybe there's logic in Lambert's head after all. My guess is Cleverley has been brought in to replace Sanchez.

He'd be worth every penny if Twitter did actually go into meltdown over this. If it could take the Metro down too that would be a huge bonus.

A great big meh.  Alonso is 33, not really comparable.  Twitter will be in 'meltdown' until the next funny/shocking incident that gets the 5 second attention span mouth breathers all excited.  This is the second meltdown today after that Zara striped pyjamas thing.

We signed him from Albion in '86.

You're right of course but, same difference, lesser mortals.

Can he play left back or can Lambert convert him you can never have enough left backs. I wouldnt trust Lambert with another penny. When he came it was we will score more than you attitude now its worse than TSM anti football. He seems to be getting a seige mentality.

A player has to want to play for you to sign him.  And you need to be able to pay his wages without bankrupting the club.

[Goldie.7]

Why are we paying £8m for Tom fucking Cleverley?

[chrisw1]

And trying our best to let Delph go for free next year...

So 8 million is good value for a bloke who can't score and create
