Tom Cleverley loan watch

[Phil from the upper holte]

I don't think it was a case of coughing up £7m I don't think at that point he wanted to come, remember all the hoo haa with his agent saying we need to cough up big time for wages and it was only Everton's reluctance that forced him here

[Toronto Villa]

Can you imagine the reaction had we paid that fee in January? It would have been only second to Lambert's contract in the many mental things the club had done during a season that was heading to hell. Very quickly.

[danno]

I don't think he'd have signed in January, even if we had been willing to pay the fee.
Far better for him to run his contract down and assess his options in the summer.

[KRS]

Why would any club pay £7m for a player that would be available for free 6 months later? Back in January, he was a very average player in a very poor team contributing very little so it would have been madness to make the deal at that time. 

[PeterWithesShin]

Worth remembering that back in January he was getting booed before games.

[Toronto Villa]

Fucking love this guy. He could have had a hat trick today. It will be a crying shame if he doesn't stay with us. For the first time in ages I feel as though we have that Ian Taylor/Platt type player at the club. Works really hard and gets into positions to score goals. Three goals in three, two of the them absolutely massive game winners.

Great energy and now a goalscoring threat/getting into places that hurt teams. They put up his passing stats at half-time and it was only 64% possession so he can still get better. The diamond of Westwood/Sanchez, Delph, Cleverley and Grealish has been working great for us. How often is there a quick interchange of passes between Delph/Grealish/Benteke? Seems to be a great understanding there.

What, after three or four games?

He was appalling for a long time before that. If the wages are reasonable then I'm OK with him signing but I'm not convinced yet.

are you seriously saying that Lambert playing him and everyone else in our third of the pitch for 85 minutes a game didn't have a massive bearing on his overall play?

[Matt Collins]

If anyone doesn't think we should sign Tim cleverley on a free transfer they need their head checking.

100% agreed.

He was everywhere today. Great performance. His sheer effort makes me think he wants to stay

We've all been proved wrong by him.

Reading H&V today Andrew Robins who I believe is Paulie on here was laying into him and I just couldn't help chuckling at it as no doubt that article was penned in February and 99% of us on here were saying the complete same things about him.

I've just read that article on the toilet

Please stay Tom! Lets hope other clubs have not been paying attention to his transformation.

TC was excellent today (again), MOTM for me. Astonishing contrast from the parks player version we saw under Lambert.
