Tom Cleverley - Loan Confirmed

[JUAN PABLO]

The way I see it is, he is energetic and will want to make a new start and prove people wrong.
He wouldn't have been my obvious candidate, but with him and Delph in the same midfield we will have dynamism and pace: combined with a mix from Sanchez, Westwood, N'Zog, Grealish and Cole, I think we will have a pretty tight midfield.
We just need a goalscorer now ....

What's the point of a goalscorer without creativity . we just don't create enough. Is it two shots on target in three games . we need a player who creates . if we have a spare 8 million , buy creativity and not another Westwood

Exactly.

In that list of midfielders, there are only two who will ever create on any decent scale - Grealish and Cole - one is too young, the other is made of glass and past it.

I don't really care too much about the mediocrity of Cleverley, it just scares the shit out of me to see us spending money on a position we don't need to spend, when there are glaring holes in the squad which urgently require help.

[ciggiesnbeer]

If Everton are in he is not going to come here

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

You know the answer to this

"top manager martinez, he will get the best out of him, good signing for them"
"Cleverley turned us down, what a joke club we are"

[Small Rodent]

I don't believe the fee at all. I think he's be a fine addition, possibly.

But again, I don't believe the fee.

[JUAN PABLO]

Now if Van Gaal was to let us have Valencia for 8mil I for one would be estatic. But the thought hasn't crossed his mind.

Oh Ron , if only

[Chris Smith]

Lambert knows he needs a forward too and said he is after 2 players. Maybe Randy has given him 15million to spend.

If he bought Cleverley today and then went and spent 7m on a striker, he'd still be missing the most important player we need to sign.

I am usually the cautious type when it comes to youngsters stepping up but Grealish on his performance last night really doesn't look too far away from being that player. It has been a while since I have had such high hopes for one of our youngsters.

[Rudy65]

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

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.

So youre happy we are pissing £8m of what little money we have on a player who is inferior to Westwood?

If you rate Cleverly then fine, thats your view, mine is he's pants and we shouldn't touch him with a barge pole

Fives minutes ago did you know we even had £8m? How do you know what "little money we have"?

Wakey wakey. Its the 28th Aug and the transfer window shuts on Monday. This would strongly suggest we havent got much dosh given the lack of signings and free signings earlier in the window

I wouldn't call willing to spend £8m on one player as having 'not much dosh', however close to the window it is.

I was responding to the suggestion that we might have lots of £ to spend after all

[JUAN PABLO]

I would say spending 8 million on cleverly , we are f******* loaded

[greenwichvilla]

Tom Cleverly looks like the kind of person who would go out with your ex-girlfriend. 

[Rudy65]

Or just plain f in stupid

[Can Gana Be Bettered!?!?]

Never have we signed such a prestigious player since Eric Djemba-Djemba.

Fuck me, we really are shit and scraping the barrel.

If he was at any other club then 1) he wouldn't be anywhere near 8 million and 2) nobody would want him.

[Can Gana Be Bettered!?!?]

Just wait for the announcement that it's a straight swap for Vlaar.

Toronto wasn't suggesting we had lots of money to spend, i'm not sure how you managed to fathom that out of his post. Maybe he was just suggesting we might have a little more than people think.
