Tom Cleverley - Loan Confirmed

[Ads]

He's fucked over Brand FC by denying them a big fee.

You can't knock him on that.

I prefer this kind of deal in this instance, if he is rubbish and/or sulking all the time at least we don't have to keep him, and it's cost us a lot less cash. I still don't rate him but am prepared to give him a chance and see what happens.

Maybe we can start stocking some of his TC23 gear down the Village? I fancy some expensive jeans with rips in them

If there's break clauses on both sides...

Then if he's playing well in January, can't Brand FC threaten to recall him unless we stump up 7 million ?

[Goldie.7]

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.

I would say yes.

At least the brand won't be able to have 23 shirt!!!!

I think we should give credit where it's due. The people at Villa trying to get this deal done have got the better of Cleverley's agent, Everton and Manchester United.

We have gamed the regulations in our favour, and got a ruling from the Premier League that suits us.

For a club that supposed to be naive and a soft touch when it comes to transfer dealings, that's not bad going.

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

Would this require both sides or just one to break it?

Potentially, but that is surely only going to happen if they lose half a squad to injury. More of an issue I would have thought is him not adjusting to life down here, being dazzled by the verve, colour and excitement of it all, and wanting a move back to the grey and gloomy north.

[Risso]

It's a season-long loan.

[Tony Erdington]

Well done Mr Lambert, and all connected.

Aye there is that.  Thinking about it they'll probably be too busy shopping in January to think about recalling him.

I'm very pleased with this.

They'll need some more attackers by then.

Thread title needs amending. Official twitter confirms it's for rest of season.
