Tom Cleverley loan watch

[Risso]

Cleverley's goal today was the hallmark of a quality player full of confidence.

One thing is clear. Sherwood has the midfield firing.

[Toronto Villa]

There used to be a massive gap between the midfield and our forward(s). No longer. They all play as a unit so it's no wonder now that the midfield are really playing their part in our revival.

[OCD]

All I'm saying is I think he has more work to do. I don't think there's anything controversial about that.

There's nothing at all controversial in that and you are entirely entitled to your opinion. I don't agree. We can still be friends - right?

Of course - we agree to disagree.

My argument is also on the premise that TS might have others in mind, which of course might not be the case.

[OCD]

One thing is clear. Sherwood has the midfield firing.

I bet there's a bit of friendly rivalry between Delph and Cleverley as to who gets the most goals from midfield.

[Walmley_Villa]

Always said there was a player there and he can score goals as he has in the past. Delighted to see it come to fruition and hope he stays, a big asset to the club. Her certainly seems to have the passion and be enjoying it.

The question is how much would you pay him to secure his signing?

£10m in today's market.

[OCD]

He's a Bosman so I don't see what it would matter. The issue will be his wages - would he accept the same deal Delph took?

[olaftab]

Yes this man was very good today and how well he put that away...fantastic.

There will be some teams throwing silly money at him, I wouldn't be surprised to see £80k pw 5 year contracts. That's £20m in total, could we match it? Should we?

[OCD]

There's no guarantee we'll get him but he has to ask himself whether he's been happy here since Sherwood took over and having him going forward or whether he wants to go somewhere else. He also has to think whether money is the only thing that matters to him or whether regular football is and whether he has ambitions of getting back into the England squad.

We should do everything we can to get him sign for us but we do have to weigh that up with financial responsibility. There's also the financial fair play to consider so it's not a straight forward question.

[aj2k77]

I don't think FFP will affect us this summer as we have Bentys massive contract coming off the wage books so there's room for at least 1 big earner.

No we shouldnt.

I dont see anyone in the top 6 signing him so we are a great option, but only on a sensible deal. He isnt an 80k pw player, but has improved considerably. Fab goal today and great industry throughout.

Excellent today.
