Tom Cleverley - Loan Confirmed

Based on the fact that Vlaar has probably had more "rest" than any other player ......

And a month playing in the world cup helped this rest.

Welcome Cleverly, I like him.

Whatever the deal turns out to be, I highly doubt Vlaar is a part of it. £8 million plus the club captain for a player United don't see as part of their future? I don't think much of Paul Lambert but that's a pretty crap deal to go for.

Vlarr hurt his knee on Saturday.  Surely you saw that?

The world cup finished weeks ago. There has been a full pre season since then in which he has hardly played ......

Yes i was there. But was it really that bad ??

He 'had more rest' because his World Cup went through to the end and probably had about 2 weeks off in total. He also did take a knock against Newcastle where he was down for a few minutes.

Yes, but he played until the day before it finished, which would have been July 12th, then he had a month off, taking him until four days before the season started. Then he played against Stoke.

I see what you're driving at, but I don't think it's true.

[WestleyArmsAV]

You have missed the point about Vlarr. you obviously did not see the game saturday where he hurt his knee.

KEA took a tackle last season that looked like his leg was broke and played in the next game ?

[WestleyArmsAV]

What an absurd comparison.

Careful now Lou it's a plot to snare Vlaar from us in a swap deal!

[dave.woodhall]

Vlaar has a record of injuries and he's come straight into the team without a full pre-season. Given that, I wouldn't dream of sticking him straight into three games a week.

[ozzjim]

With Vlaar would you take the risk on a sore knee that he opened up a bit at the weekend? I wouldn't have done. No chance.

When I first saw the title of this thread I was excited that we have actually bought another top draw midfielder. Then after reading the opening remarks from Legion I saw it was a tad premature and I was a bit disappointed it was not a done deal. What amazes me is how so many people actually think that Cleverley is a bad player?
It's all about opinions I know but if we do get him this is a great move and I'm sure he'll prove a lot of people wrong. Also I would not want any of our rivals in this league purchasing him.
