i think a couple of polls have been done with a resounding no.

i get the feeling we're not really interested anymore, that's the hope anyway, any time it gets brought up now is just rag talk, but martinez may fancy a free, let's hope not though.

Fingers crossed. My thoughts are enough 'squad players'. Need to save up for someone good ! Eto wages surely could get us a good winger - mccarthy back soon and everything then would be better

Reading around on Cleverley at Villa, it seems that their issue with him is that fact he's too similar a player to Westwood and they want someone more penetrative. What he does do, he does well.

In theory, then, if we had the complete opposition central midfielder to Cleverley to go alongside him it wouldn't be as horrific as some are making out.

In practise though he is gash !

I just don't understand what his role would actually be in our team. He's not what we need at all.

And who is the complete opposite central midfielder. Zidane?

Unfortunately he's free which is why we're interested. He might fulfil a squad player role with Barry getting older and Osman and Pienaar looking finished however I always fear that with these signings they shoehorn their way into the team and stay there. Look at Naismith.

Seems to be a lot of that going on with martinez. Will be interesting to see when mccarthy comes back, if Bešić or his golden boy Barry will be dropped. I've a feeling it will be the former.

He won't add anything that we don't already have to our team

Would be a pointless signing at the moment

Yeah, just seems like we'd be signing him because we can rather than because we should. Meh. We've got enough average players in our squad as it is.

Us and Newcastle are the only two teams in the bottom half that have not signed a player this month.

 

[Pabbers]

Not guna lie, i want cleverley. He is decent and nowere near as bad as some of you make out.

Milner would be an ace signing,cleverley would be a good signing if we can ofload gibson and Osman and Barry are getting older

Cleverley would be better than Gibson ...purely based on the fact that he sometimes plays the game of football

 

[toffee matt]

Cleverly was the worst player in an awful villa side yesterday and got booed of the pitch

Gibson has more natural talent than Cleverley but he is unfortunately never fit.
