Tom Cleverley - Loan Confirmed

[Brend'Watkins]

He has 4 months to show us and the world what he can do which might get him and his brand to a club that's worthy of his greatness.

It might seem daft but I kind of hope he falls flat on his face and we tell him to do one in January. He stinks of Downing.

Eau de Downing. When you absolutely NEED to smell of triple faced judas.

Whatever the circumstances the money-grabbing twonk's a Villa player for now - let's hope he turns it on enough so that a massive club will give him a permanent deal....failing that he can f**k off.

[kipeye]

I think we should give him a chance before judging him... We also have to convince him don't forget. The best way to achieve both is by success on the field. I would never have thought Senderos and Cissokho would be good signings-but so far they are.

[Mister E]

well, I said last night that I thought he'd bring us some dynamism in MF to match Delph. He is, by all accounts, an intelligent footballer who focusses on supporting the team efforts as opposed to being an individual dazzler.
I would hope that the combination of Keane's influence and the personal desire to prove people wrong will mean we get the best from him.

My real concern is that the club now bring some parity in terms for the likes of Delph and Vlaar and get them signed up on a decent contract.

[Toronto Villa]

That Harj seemed to think it was still happening.

The bloke from TOWIE that went missing?

The Only Way is Erdington?

There is no question what side of the Road us Erdingtonese walk on.

Oh I dunno, the way TV is nowadays, I reckon friends discussing their relationships outside Big John's might take off.

there's meant to be a reality show starting over here soon about people who watch reality shows. FFS

Apparently its a Season long loan , so he has 8 months plus to prove himself ........Godzvilla!

Aston Villa receive Premier League approval to sign Manchester United midfielder Tom Cleverley on a season-long loan.

Pat Murphy just said on 5 Live he's on the same wages he was on at United which is less than the highest earners at Villa.

This.

[manic-road]

I see it as a win win for Villa, we get to see if he is worth the £8m we now haven't spent, and he should be busting a gut to prove he is worth what he is asking for.

[Ian.]

Welcome to Villa, looking forward to seeing you get your career back on track. Great signing, not sure why there is so much nastiness.
I'm very happy with this, we now have a very decen midfield all of a sudden.

that's some top work done by Villa. Got in a a young player who has a lot of promise, didn't fork out a lot, get out clauses, expiring contract and maintained the integrity of our wage structure so that it doesn't interfere with current negotiations with players. Solid.

[frankmosswasmyuncle]

Assume this is the work of Mr Fox?

[Malandro]

He's fighting for a good contract, so at least the weasel will put in effort.
Great result for us.

[Hairbandinho]

If what Pat Murphy said is true, we have done very well for ourselves for once!
