I've read that a loan deal taking Cleverley to Everton is going through. To be honest, I'm not disappointed, but he never wanted to come to Villa in the first place, so they're welcome to him.

Strange move really if he wants first team football given they already have GB, Pienaar and McCarthy well established with Barkley to return by November

Quite what I was thinking, actually. Everton are becoming like Spuds - they have a surplus of delicate, tricksy attacking talent (plus a big unit up front) but should really be trying to buy or loan defenders.

So United will get about a million loan fee then and then he will sign for Everton on a free.


Very canny from Martinez. Cleverley will make a fortune and United who bought him through get shafted despite offering him a 4 year deal 6 weeks ago.

I may be the only one, but I hope his form and career continue on their current, fairly shitty trajectory.

I'd say it's the best place for him, working with a manager that can (once again) get the best out of him.

Yeah I agree, I don't go with this he's looking at all his options thing,
If he doesn't want to come for whatever reason, might be good reasons, but if he doesn't fancy it at villa, then if don't want him

If he gets a game, I'd agree with you. But I wouldn't play Cleverley over any of the midfielders Martinez has at his disposal. Seems like a waste of time for all parties to me.

And Bradford City also get shafted as they have a 10 per cent sell on clause when/ if  Man U sell.

I don't begrudge Cleverley going to Everton at all.

Think about it logically, he'll get games there with Barkley injured, he knows their manager from Wigan and given he's just become a Dad he dosen't have to move house which would be important to him I'd imagine. Oh yeah and Everton are a much stronger bet than we are to finish top 6.

Can people think of one reason why you'd choose Villa over Everton at this point?

It's probably easier to write that post when I wasn't really fussed when we were first linked to him.

I don't blame him at all.

The not moving house thing alone makes them more attractive.
