I can understand the TC23 thing. He would have been a young lad at United and seen the whole Beckham thing first hand, seen his worth and thought he will have him some of that. He's not Beckham but he's probably been influenced and thought that was the way to do things. Its youthful, naïve ambition. Having said that, that nickname will stick.

Surely we are paying a hefty loan fee? Going from spending £8m on him to nowt isn't likely, is it? (unless we've agreed to pay all his wages instead of signing him on a long-term deal and getting him to take a pay-cut)

Might have happened so late in the end, that Man U were just glad to get him off the wage bill, and remove what would have been a lingering smell from around Carrington. Might turn out a very good deal for Villa with them paying less, and having opportunity to send him back in January if it does not work. And if Villa originally had all of their side of the deal prepared in readiness for the deadline I don't think it looks too bad on them requesting an extension.

I don't have an issue with him wanting to go to everton, but i still think he's a bell end. The TC23 is embarrassing (although probably like most footballers).

He'll want to make sure he plays well fast though, i don't think many will give him much time. He'll be wishing he was still a scapegoat.

Hope it works out if it happens.

Agreed - TC23.....ffs.

I reckon they earn so much cash that the sycophants that surround them dare not tell them that they are acting like bell ends.

Whilst I agree, he does seem a bit of a knob, and that TC23 stuff is pretty funny, we all know that a few decent performances and we'll have forgotten all about that, as well as this Everton hang-up.

It's funny taking the piss in the meantime, though.

Da Beeb says that the proposed loan is until January

YellowtiesRUs says that the proposed loan is for the season.

To January or the end of the season he'd still get us out of a hole.  The season means our midfield three are pretty sorted (with Westwood as 1st reserve) and if only to January we can spend the interim period looking for a replacement (or we could if there was a DoF with the time to scour Europe).

Shouldn't that be 'PW 616' ? I thought that '666' was a mis-translation in an early edition of that work of fiction known as 'The Bible'.

I guess we would cheer most things that pull the shirt on to be honest. That is the thing with supporting a club I guess.

The Gabby thread is a great example of this.

Its Merseyside, Im sure he could have commuted. He didnt sign for us because we wouldnt give him 60k per week and thinks he can do better. I cant see him giving us 100%, thats my main issue

I live in the northwest and its a fucking ball ache driving to home games or games down south thanks to the M6. I missed 15 minutes of the game on Sunday ebcause so many cap ends cannot fathom that there is really no need to slam on a slow down to 40 mph through the chevrons between J19-18.

I also cannot stand the ball ache in moving house. I hate painting and decorating too. Its tedious.

I also enjoy my employers paying me as much as possible and I want to work for the best employer possible. [Stop me if you're in disagreement here]

Why should it be different for Cleverley? Why are footballers governed by rules different from the rest of society when it comes to their jobs? Its not his fault you're in love with Aston Villa.


I think Cleverley can afford to get a firm in to paint his walls.

But then he has to clean the room out and its the ball ache of your house being a tip while the workman fit your kitchen, your bathroom. Ball. Ache!

And it's so tedious having to go through all those meetings with the interior designers.

666 is the fax number of the beast. It's why we got the extension as we had the wrong number first time round.
