Tom Cleverley - Loan Confirmed

[darren woolley]

Welcome to Aston Villa Tom.

[Ger Regan]

He comes in for Richardson i think

Not sure Richardson deserves to be dropped to be honest. Bloody brilliant to have those sort of problems again, isn't it?

[OCD]

These remarks are good, because it implies firstly that he likes passing football, and secondly that Lambert convinced him to come by saying we'll play football that he likes, implying passing football. This all ties in with Lambert's praise for the style on the weekend, and we are boofing it noticeably less this season.

The test will be when Benteke's back.

[German James]

Thank you, GJ!

I'm all happy now!

It would be curious to know if we've agreed a fee if it were to be made permanent.

I cant see him signing for us in January or the end of the season, He has to be looking to put himself in the shop window, playing well and regularly and then lining himself up a Bosman next summer when "some club" will pay the £80,00 pw wages he thinks he is worth

Aston Villa use picture of Tom Cleverley scoring against Aston Villa to celebrate him signing for Aston Villa...

"Villa Park is one of those grounds that I always look forward to playing at. The pitch is always fantastic, the atmosphere is always good and it's one of those historic grounds that you always remember."

I'm sure all Man Utd players love coming to Villa Park with the record Villa have against them.

A day at work and you miss all the breaking news.

I was seething last night at his greed and apparent pissing us around. I am not going to say I'm over the moon we have someone like that in our dressing room, but if he does his job on the pitch and helps us win more games, I will forgive and forget.

If not, he can f**k off!

Welcome Pleb! Which team do you support?

[frankmosswasmyuncle]

If he's a Roman pleb it's gotta be The Villa!

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.

Is it any coincidence Paul Faulkner was not involved.

I dunno Faulkner played an absolute blinder on Jenas, Nzogbia, Ireland, Given. Hardly cost us a penny.

And a stonker with TSM

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.

A massive club like us, you mean?

[ciggiesnbeer]

Option to buy? Very nice.

He replaces/challenges Westwood in my opinion.

[Louzie0]

I'm very pleased he's joined us, welcome Tom.

Not like us Leeg.
There's no club like us.
Just US!
