Tom Cleverley - Loan Confirmed

[Ian.]

I think he's quite a good player, energetic and tidyon the ball,  the thing that bothers me is that we don't have good enough coaches to make him a better player. If he went to Everton you would seem him come on a lot. If he comes here my fear is that he will level off, like Clark, Lowton and Westwood, Weimann have done.

I would have thought Keane would be just the man. However, if what you say is true there is not much point buying anyone.

Yep, lets give up now!

[Ian.]

I wonder how many supporters of other clubs would have been happy to be linked with Gareth Barry circa 2006? Sometimes a player needs a spark to their career, whether it be a new club or a new manager. 

I actually don't think it's so much about the player we're potentially buying that people are concerned by, more the are of the pitch we're looking to spend a lot of money on. Personally, I see it as being well down our list of priorities this window.

But has been played quite often in a role behind the front two "in the hole" (cue Big Mick). Thats exactly the player we have been after?

Has he? I've never seen him in that role. Certainly not for Utd. If he has I would question why he has such a low record of goals and assists?

Not for Utd so much but he certainly did for Watford and was I think their top scorer.

Not sure if Keane is a tactical genius. I know he was a great player, doesn't mean he can transfer that knowledge to the players.

He scored 11 league goals for Watford in the Championship 5 seasons ago (Deeney got 14 that season) but has only scored 9 goals since. Certainly, every time I've seen him for Utd, he's playing in a central midfield role (usually alongside Carrick) with Van Persie & Rooney ahead of him.

Good man!

[mr underhill]

yes, playing in the hole is great work when you can get it

I think we may have been a bit premature.  Doesn't seem to be clear cut he's coming to us at all.  If we don't get him I wonder if we'll be looking to spend the money elsewhere.  Id assume so.

A bit like missing out on Dempsey and getting Benteke on deadline day 2 years ago.

I don't think agreeing a fee for Dempsey was anything other than a bluff to get Genk to stop messing about.

[enigma]

I know it's fashionable to knock him these days but I reckon he'd be good for us. Is he good enough for where Man Utd have ambitions to be? No. Is he good enough to improve us? Damn right he is.

Along with Delph and Sanchez that's three different types of midfielder performing different roles that would hopefully dovetail quite nicely.

I still think this is a bluff so falcoa makes up his mind quick and signs tomorrow
