Tom Cleverley - Loan Confirmed

[Chico Hamilton III]

Tom Cleverley anagram:

greedy cock sore

Let me cry, love

[usav]

Is it OK for God to spell good gud?

Do you really need to ask that question?

[Gareth]

Good news is it's a season long loan with a break clause for both sides in January....so should he do well we'll be able to moan about our manager / boards incompetence in allowing that to happen

Good deal Lambert

[PaulWinch again]

So it's a season long loan then?

Should make him easier to sign in May, should we wish to do so.

Should make him easier to sign in May, should we wish to do so.

it will be like the Barry deal to Everton. Played well, contract expired and signed permanently thereafter. So essentially we are getting him for whatever the loan fee is and no transfer fee at the end if we decide to keep him. Just a signing a bonus. That's pretty well done even if it was a bit of 'mare getting to this point.

That's an excellent analysis. In that kind of telly, everyone thinks they're the only person who realises that what they're doing is valueless and stupid, and so everyone they work with must therefore be an idiot. So they are trapped in this cycle of dishonest, vacuous self-loathing.

I would love to see that presenter put his arm round some homebuyer and say: 'you know what your dream home is worth?'

(Pause, then whisper)

'Absolutely fuck all'

Nick Knowles is a hand wringing, over earnest mockney bellend with a face I'd like to cave in.

Have we actually played this one quite well?

We have saved £7.5million, paid a loan fee that I would imagine is considerably less than that, maybe even spread his wages with Man United paying a contribution. We get him on loan and if he recaptures his form of a few seasons ago, then we're in a prime position to bag him come May.

I would certainly be a bit miffed at how armature Everton looked with their £7million bid, which was quickly followed by an "erm, actually, we can't really afford that, how about £5million?".

[VillaAlways]

Is it 4 months ? SSN reporting season long loan ?

[PaulWinch again]

Season long with a break clause in Jan apparently.

[VillaAlways]

Season long with a break clause in Jan apparently.

Thanks .

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Should make him easier to sign in May, should we wish to do so.

It will certainly give him more time to break into our team.

[Toronto Villa]

we've essentially gone in at the last minute and stolen him from Everton. The player would have been desperate as Everton came up short and he would have been left with the prospect of playing reserve team football. Like our bomb squad he was made aware he was no longer required. We've gone in, made a take it or leave it offer to Man U and got him for very little with a lot of upside if he does recapture his form. If he doesn't, well back he goes.

So basically he has a few months to impress potential suitors by playing some decent stuff - hopefully if he is playing well for us he will want to stay.
