Tom Cleverley - Loan Confirmed

[Ger Regan]

Isn't the idea that if he does really well we get first option in Jan, for a £7.5m premium, rather than waiting till next summer and avoiding the fee but risking other clubs coming in for him?

He can talk to other clubs in January.

[PaulWinch again]

Only foreign clubs isn't it?

[badluckeric(gates)]

At the risk of sounding cliched I think this is a win win deal for us and as has been said already he should be playing his guts out to resurrect his career if only for his next deal.

According to the BBC the Sun is reporting that Cleverly called Lambert personally to resurrect the deal.

Yes, and we really ought to give him a massive 'welcome to VP' ... he's a class act.

There's absolutely no chance he'll be good enough for us to warrant that sort of fee being paid in January.

I agree. The anger about his supposed greed was based on a fuck all and guess work and wasn't nice to see.

If TVC15 plays well enough for Villa to even consider paying £7.5m for him in January, he will have plenty of other clubs interested in him. Unless he has a change of heart and decides that Villa really is the place for him rather than an Everton fall-back plan, I can't seen him accepting a deal here at that point.

I think he'll Stay. He won't want to be shunted from station to station.

Tom could be a Major signing for us.

You could make the same argument about £8m for him this window though. Bottom line is it's a trade off between securing a player for a premium or waiting and taking a chance he will go elsewhere.

Maybe Tom will sign a new contract and play for Villa during the Golden Years of his career
