Tom Cleverley loan watch

[Villafirst]

He was terrible today, I know that doesn't mean much but if he signs then he signs, not bothered either way

So the 3 goals in 3 games prior to that mean nothing?

With all due respect, TC was fricking crap for the first 25 games of the season. Been great since Sherwood got here though.

That was under Lambert - even Benteke was poor and got dropped! Lambert was the problem for Cleverley and most of the squad.

Paul Scholes says Tom Cleverley will opt for Everton.

"Paul Scholes believes Tom Cleverley will sign for Everton, speaking to BT Sport, Scholes said: "I don’t know, I don’t speak to Tom"

Great bit of News from the Birmingham mail!

Thanks Paul for that bit of stunning insight. You don't talk to him but you think he'll sign for Everton. The Mail carrying it is hardly a surprise given their dearth of quality Villa stories.

The depth of inanity and shallowness demonstrated daily by so-called expert summarisers is breathtaking. The media as a whole should be pilloried for employing these numbskulls ...
... and as for Paul Scholes: he must be the world's longest-surviving brain-donor.

I quite like Scholes as a pundit. He's not afraid of saying stuff that will piss people off.

He also called Savage a twat and clearly dislikes him.

[warleyboy]

Would it be the end of the world if we didn't sign him up, I'm sure TS has other options in place already.

[PaulWinch again]

No it wouldn't be the end of the world, but since Sherwood came he's been very very good and considering he's on a free transfer getting him would be a brilliant bit of business.

I don't have a problem with Scholes giving an educated guess.
He clarified his position and said he didn't know for sure.

He wasn't saying Cleverley should sign for Everton, or anything like that.

What I find odd about Scholes is that he spent his career routinely shunning interviews and then decides he wants to become a pundit.

My problem with Scholes is that I can't look at him without thinking of *that* picture.

I think that was one of the things Keane had an issue with... your first point not the second. Although maybe he agrees withe second point as well.
I just find his voice very dull myself.

There have been some funny old photos of players down the years. Who was the guy at Everton who slipped it out in the tunnel while waiting to lead out his side? And Steve Lomas is another I always see that picture of him getting a bit too excited after scoring.

Frank and Frank and beans...
