Tom Cleverley - Loan Confirmed

[pauliewalnuts]

If cleverly is that good and was at Wigan . I'm surprised as dave pointed out, Martinez is not in for him

Maybe he feels he dosen't need him and besides, Everton have spent a fortune already by their standards.

According to John Percy, Everton are in for him too.

If Cleverley chooses Hull over us, then that just proves what state we are in.

Not rerally. At the end of the 80s peter davenport chose Middlesbrough over Villa.

Cue at Ayresome Park:

"You, must, be fucking mad, davenport, davenport"

i think he scored.

I have said this before on h and v months ago in the context of a slagging-off session of Cleverley, im always hearing about how shit he is, yet whenever i have seen him play he has shown touches of class that our players simply do not exhibit.

[pauliewalnuts]

This deal worries me in a number of ways.

One is that, to be entirely honest, I don't rate him as a player. However, I think I am more worried by the fact we seem to be about to pay 8m for him.

If that's true, then we need to hope there is still left over to buy the players we really need - one who will create chances, and maybe one to convert them.

Cleverley is not either of those types of player, so I am wondering why we're spending so much money on him.

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

Dammed if you do.....

Stupid comment

We all want to see some money spent but not on a player who is no better than Westwood

In fairness, I've seen dogs chasing balls on our local park which show a touch of class some of our players can only dream of having.

Hopefully both Everton and Hull are in for him and outbid us.

[Steve kirk]

He is shite, a clown etc etc, I believe in giving every player regardless of reputation or fee a fair chance before I even think about kicking the shit out of them, some people on here go so over the top so quickly, if he signs he is one of ours and will need our support.

If Everton are in he is not going to come here

It hasn't worked at United , so what? If it does happen lets give the kid a chance

I don't know why people say "give him a chance" - as if we have any option otherwise! If we sign him, we sign him.

If Everton go for him is he still as shit as people have suggested?

No, it's not a stupid comment. He's had stick over the summer for bringing in free transfers and not investing because he's looking to sell. Now he's backing his manager to the tune of a supposed £8m. It's irrelevant whether he's worth the money or not, at least the money is there.

Doesn't quite fit in with the Martinez is great, Lambert and Cleverley are shit narrative.  Where's it reported they're in for him?
