Scott Sinclair - now gone

[PaulWinch again]

I'd sign him up now, get the deal in place.

Same here. We've got a manager in place who will let players express themselves in the final third. If Cleverley keeps his form up in the next few weeks I would also be getting onto his agent and trying to get him to sign with us in the summer. He suddenly is looking like a proper player. Plus he appears to just have a lot more gumption about him now. He's going into challenges, he's showing more aggression and he's not hiding in games.

Agree
Get your cheque book ready, Randy

If you watch the first goal again - Sinclair made a run which took the full-back out, creating space for Delph fire home.  Great play. MOM for me.

The loan deal for Sinclair included an option to make it permanent in the summer, with the fee agreed.

Cleverley's improved but there was discussion that we would have to pay £7m for him. In which case, there's got to be better options for the same money.

Sign him now! We've missed someone like him for so long. If we can and keep and get the best out of Benteke that's got to be a pairing made in heaven.

I think the 7 mill fee was an option for January. I'm pretty sure he's going to be out of contract this summer. So on a free we should be looking, particularly as I suspect the budget still won't be huge.

He was superb. When he signed I asked an Albion mate what he was like and he replied "Absolute shite, good luck with him". Of course, as soon as the goal went in I messaged him to say "Albion Reject".

You'd like to think that someone like Cleverley has the gumption to realise he is not good enough to make it with a top 4 club and that this is the best chance he is going to get outside of that to really shine for a big team at the next level down. He could really become a big star and get noticed again for the right reasons if that sinks in

Surely we ought to reserve judgement? He had a great game but we need to see that repeatedly. And it was against not exactly the best.

He's about what? 22? he's played for Man U and England. Of course he thinks he's good enough to play for a top 4 club again and will back himself to make it. Under Lambert he was barely a Championship player. So far under Sherwood he has looked a decent Prem player.

25.

I'll hold my hand up and admit I was wrong on Sinclair, I expected him to have the half-arsed attitude he did at the Baggies but he seems to have realised that he can't afford to mess this chance up and really approached things with the right attitude, seems to be enjoying playing so I reckon he'd be very interested in staying long term and it's definitely the right thing to do if the £2.5m price is correct.

[peter w]

Cleverley's 25? Or Sinclair? I was talking about Cleverley.

Yep, Clerverley, was in the same U21 side as Albrighton.

[passitsideways]

Conveniently for you, they're both 25

I'm a little surprised about Sinclair being that age though - been around for ages it seems, plus wasting his last two and a half seasons doing very little.
