Tom Cleverley | 2014/15 Performances (on loan at Aston Villa)

[Sassy Colin]

Apparently, he's serving his yellow card ban against us, even though he's not allowed to play against us anyway. Well timed that.

[Ibi Dreams]

Surely his ban should carry over to the next game if he's not eligible to play anyway?

Might be a tricky fixture for us now

He's been very poor this season when I've seen him for Villa. To the point where I wouldn't be surprised if he falls further over the next couple of years.

I have seen him against QPR (for about 40mins) and I think that he was their best player....

Over the course of the season he has been their most consistent player. His recent two performances have been poor, but he's the only player (I think) to start in everyone of their games this season.

I've come to terms with the fact he's not United standard, but he's definitely a lower-half PL footballer.

 

[Loublaze]

I just saw something about Keane blaming Cleverley for cooking up stories about a player bust up at Villa. Its the Sun and I can't read it. Stupid paper talk?

There's a thread discussing this incident if you care to look around.

Think we should change the title to "Tom Cleverley Neighborhood watch"

[caisenma]

if that story is true, i'd have been shitting bricks if i were tom. the thought of keane storming my house, including hopping a wall to get at me is enough to keep me awake at night.

 

[B20]

Finally pegged him. Cleverley is basically a shitter version of Jamie Redknapp.

I've seen some comparisons on here before but crikey, poor Tom

He's one of those players that'll be playing in the championship in a couple of years then he will just disintegrate into nothing.

 

[Sassy Colin]

Can this be true?

I'd bite their hands off for that money!

That sounds ridiculous. £7.5 million to make sure that he doesn't sign with a foreign club before he's allowed to put pen on paper for Villa?

 

[Nanook]

More ridiculous than the fee is the assumption a foreign club would want to sign him.

Very good!

 

[NinjaFletch]

Or that Villa do.

He's not stood out there, in fact one Villa fan I know describes him as 'the most average player he's ever seen' and can't stand the fact he plays regularly.

 

[Bojan11]

Quite a few Villa fans on their forums criticising him for passing backwards too much.

 

[Roboc7]

The loan deal was rushed through instead of the permanent deal that fell through so I assume there was a fixed price Villa would have to pay to keep him beyond January, I still expect him to run his contract down and then sign for Everton though.

He isn’t good enough to get in their team though so I hope he signs for Villa and we get some money out of him, £7.5m for someone who would struggle to be in the first team of at least half the teams in the league would be a great deal for us.

 

[Will Absolute]

Well, I'll have to hold my hands up if it does happen. When that loan deal was announced last summer, I laughed, thinking there was no way the clause would ever be activated, and it was just an example of Woodward's lack of footballing nous.

£7.5m for Cleverley? It's like that old gran-uncle, whose existence you'd forgotten, dying and leaving you his house.

He may lack football nous, but he's great at collecting money. If they actually spend that much on him, I'll piss myself.

 

[TheRedDevil'sAdvocate]

7.5 million pounds for a player who will be free next summer? Never mind the fact that AV are allowed to agree terms with him in a week and half from now...

Just as true as the 24 million we appear to be willing to spend on Miranda when his release clause is 29m and he will also be free in 6 months...

No, between two English clubs in this situation, they're not until a few weeks before their contract is up.

That doesn't make sense. Have you interchanged the figures? Why wouldn't we make a lower offer?

 

[TheRedDevil'sAdvocate]

Thanks for the clarification, i didn't know that. Even if that's the case i'm sure that when we send him out on loan to AV there was some kind of a gentlemen's agreement to inform them of any offers from European clubs in January so that they will be able to make a counteroffer.

That doesn't make sense. Have you interchanged the figures? Why wouldn't we make a lower offer?

I checked again and the truth is that his contract expires in 2016. Still that's a lot of money for a 30 yo player imo.

 

[Ozio]

What about the possibility of Moyes signing him on a free transfer? I could see that happening. Some have even said his game would suit the Spanish style and if I remember correctly Moyes really liked him.

If Cleverley was signed and started over Granero or Canales that be a travesty.

 

[SilentWitness]

Looks like Lambert wants to keep him at Villa.

 

[Gannicus]

Looks like Lambert wants to keep him at Villa.

Clevz could be a solid squad man for a club like Villa.

TC23's head got too big and wasted promising talent. Clevz can blame Davies for that vicious tackle but the rest is on him.

I think it was him who said that himself.

How exactly did his head get too big?. What was it that he did that was so big headed?

 

[Sassy Colin]

Not sure what happened to him, he was very promising, played for England, but he went backwards at such a rate.

 

[Gannicus]

The clothing line, the website, the brand.

 

[limerickcitykid]

Yeah that darn clothing line and brand that doesn't exist.
