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***".

We'd all have left by then after Phil Jones completed his hattrick in the 80th minute for their 3-0 win.

Are you fickle or what!  So O'Leary was right about you!!  Take it like a true supporter and stay until the final whistle.

and who were those people exactly? I can point out those who were miserable at the very thought of it. In fact, probably most of the same people who are radically miserable about everything.

So tonight we learnt that TC23 is a complete and utter cock stain.

Shall we lock this one down to hopefully never be seen again?

How very dare he decide to see his mutually agreed contract out!

It's not like any of us were desparate for the bloke to sign anyway.

Just leaves us short on numbers.

Not really numbers we want. A bit of creative quality is what we need.
We can recall Gardner, use Herd and Clark if we only need numbers.

Old King Cole will save the day!
or the first 15 minutes of it anyway!

I wouldn't have minded if he had been keen to come and at least looked excited about the challenge

But like most others money is the most important thing to him, that and all that TC23 nonsense put me of him, so I'm glad we stayed away in the end

I wanted him to sign, I thought he could restart his career and be our main man in midfield. He had the talent a while back. If he's winding down his contract that's up to him. He's a free man next summer and he's bound to play some games for Utd before the seasons up. Maybe though as I think this I have less of a brain than you, if thats the case, well done you.

One small point is that if this fee of £7/8m is for him with only a year left, what would he cost with a few more years on his contract?  Madness.

If we're going to push the boat out on both fee and wages, then it needs to be for a player who significantly improves us.  Cleverley would have done so marginally at best.

Cleverley has all the attributes I hate in a modern footballer. I am pleased he is not part of our club.
