Tom Cleverley - Loan Confirmed

[damon loves JT]

He needs to get himself a new agent. This one has advised him very poorly.

For such an over rated player I'd say he's doing quite well. Blag merchant .

[Risso]

*Maybe* he just wants to stay at Man U and try to force his way into the team?  It's not like they're doing particularly well at the moment.

Does anyone know why it has taken right up until the last few hours for us and Everton to find out what his wage demands were? I mean... isn't that the sort of thing you need to know about, more or less, right at the start of negotiations?

Others have said that, but I'm inclined to think with Villa letting slip that Cleverley is not their favourite bloke right now, that his wage demands shot up after a deal had been thrashed out.

[timeoutbigbar]

Won't be losing too much sleep over this one.  Clearly thinks he's better than he is.  Have fun sitting on your arse this season fella.

Well Tom, enjoy the ManUre reserves...and enjoy your cash...maybe in Jan you can get a move if you drop your demands. Perhaps a new agent?  But you will be doing f*ck all for the next few months at least.

I thought the suggestion was that he tried to engineer a move to Everton, but they didn't want to buy and Man U were holding out for a permanent deal

Looks like he values cash rather than making a name for himself as a footballer. Knobhead.

We really have scrapped the 'young and hungry' approach. In his case, it's 'ageing and bloated'.

[pooligan]

I think it is a blessing in disguise that we are not signing Cleverley ,at 8 million he was way over priced

[cdbearsfan]

No thread should be started unless it's virtually a done deal, IMO.

Good riddance to this Stephen Ireland Mark II chancer though.

Just seen this in one of the streams -

'The plot thickens surrounding the collapse of Tom Cleverley’s move from Everton to Manchester United.

'Old Trafford sources claim that Cleverley travelled to Merseyside after Everton had a £7.5m bid accepted but the club then made an unsuccessful attempt to knock United down to £5m.

'The three parties have less than half an hour to revive the deal or Cleverley, who was made to train with the reserves last week, faces the prospect of an unhappy few months."

[adrenachrome]

Oh dear. What a pity. Never mind,

Daily Mail:

Everton tried to knock down Cleverley price having had £7.5m bid accepted

Chris Wheeler reports: 'The plot thickens surrounding the collapse of Tom Cleverley’s move from Everton to Manchester United.

Poor tom......... Cnut

[old man villa fan]

If I was LVG I would put him on the bench for the match at Vila Park and then bring him on for last 5 minutes to let him take the stick and after the match say "that's for losing us £8m and having to pay your wages for a year, you c***".
