What a messy transfer this was. It's enough to drive a lad insane.

Regarding the fee that's been mentioned to make the deal permanent, I was told this morning that his age means that United would still be due a fee once his contract expires. I know that's true for younger players but I thought Cleverley was out of that age bracket.

Also tried to find this article about Cleverley making a desperate, last ditch phone call to Lambert to try and resurrect the deal. I couldn't figure out The Sun's navigation on their website though. Awful design.

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.

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

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

A New Career in a New Town could be just what he needs to become a Future Legend.
At least now we can make Changes in midfield.

If he can produce what he's supposedly capable of he could well end up being our Starman.  Might be worth a Five Years contract then.



Mind you, I remember thinking that about Jean Genie Makoun.

If someone gets 'Chant of the ever circling skeletal family' into this, I'll be really impressed. In fact I might love you till Tuesday.

He could be a Holte end Hero just for one day, now he's escaped thosescary monsters and super creeps, he just needs to put on his Red shoes in the serious moonlight, and thank our young American all right.

Hey Mr Lambert
Look over here
The boy is doing splendidly
He’s not very old
But watch him go
Fighting against the enemy
He’s not very tough
But he can play rough
And you’ll never stop Cleverley….

David Beckham expressed disappointment about Danny Welbeck's move to Arsenal. I wonder if the chat of the ever smirking skeletor family turned to Cleverley?

Is that really what Lambert says in his post match interviews?

With such a troublesome agent, I hope that if we sign him he doesn't become a contract Rebel Rebel.
