Tom Cleverley - Now signed for Everton

[Ron Manager]

Seemed happy with his situation at Villa Park but he is a northerner and Everton is in the north so it probably depends on the money his agent will attempt to negotiate for him.

Surely we have enough players who need replacing without having to replace him as well.

[ChicagoLion]

I think he will stay, he has a manager that has faith in him and looks like he is enjoying it.
Yes his agent is a Dick (aren't they all) but I can not see why he would leave.

I thought he was originally from down south?  Anyway, being a Manchester United player, he is likely to be based in Cheshire, so a move to Everton would probably suit him.  I am pretty much resigned to the fact that he isn't going to sign for us.

I believe he is from Bradford, like Delph. Lives near the Everton training ground apparently. Might suit his family to stay there.

[KRS]

I'm pretty sure we will now lose both Cleverley and Benteke. May be I'm just being negative after what happened at the weekend but the fallout will inevitably affect the players, and if they have the opportunity to go to a club that will pay them more and be part of a better team higher up the league table then its a bit of a no brainer. TS may have an even bigger rebuilding job on his hands than we first expected if we're to avoid relegation next season.

They were both in the Bradford kids teams together, apparently they used to lift share and everything.

I'm not sure I want him to stay. Only a handful of decent performances.  I can remember watching when we played Blackpool in cup and thinking he was shite. Is he on a free?

Basingstoke ? Northerner?

[Walmley_Villa]

As per Wiki, born in Basingstoke but grew up in Bradford.

[Matt Collins]

It has been his very poorly disguised plan since last September when Everton messed United about on terms. For his wages I expect more than 4 weeks of decent form. Surely we can find better.

Who? And for what price?

[aj2k77]

You would have to expect that Tom will be offered a 5 yr deal with signing on bonus and £60k a week. That's at least £15m.... I think we can find better.

Over to you scouts....

Christ, that's a raw combination, fair play he's come through the hard way.

Given the much-publicised new telly money, I reckon we'd do very well to get better for less. I think your figures are gonna be, unfortunately, around the benchmark for anybody of Premier League quality.

I only want him to sign for Villa because he's on a free transfer. If we had to pay a fee for him i am fairly sure we'd pass. Fair? Or not?
