He's well faster than @chicoazul though mate.

It's looking like he is going to be our No10 after all

I think he will do well there.

Why do you say that?

Looks a great player, always looked forward and his passing was positive. Bargain

[Gwladys St. Glory]

what was most evident, so far, was his awareness at both ends...

Just based on today he seems like the type of player who can be under valued unless you pay attention to the little things. His work rate was very good, tracked back and made some good tackles in front of the defenders when barry started losing his head (shock horror).

But for me i liked the side ways passing when needed, always hear people complain in the past that he only passes sideways blah blah blah, but in martinez' system that sort of player is vital in that he kept the game ticking over and allowed the players around him to make the run that may not have been on a few seconds earlier before cleverley and a couple of others did some 5/10 yard training ground passing drills.

Looks like he could be quite a good signing if he can continue to push on now and was nice to see that hes prepared to mix it up in getting back and helping out driving through midfield which we sometimes miss if mccarthy isn't capable of doing it.

How I hope the report in this morning Guardian about El Bob seriously pursuing Tom Cleverley is misplaced and unsuccessful.

Nailing our colours to the mast against this story, the collective thoughts of my brother and I are this...

He's NOT a Tackler.
He is NOT a destructive (Fabregas-style) passer.
He does NOT get goals.
We do NOT need defensive midfielders.

What is his best position?
Answer - playing for Aston Villa !!

He is one of a generation of UK footballers spawned by Xavi, Iniesta... but coached (inanely) by UK coaches to run around, play pointless short sideways passes, and get sweaty.

He'll add little or nothing to our squad.

And we hope and pray that Manure agreeing to this deal as they sure as sh1t will do, will not be their bargaining chip towards any move in the opposite direction for any one or all of Barkley, Coleman and Stones... cos we all know that we'll come out of any such contra type deal with them smelling of roses and us smelling like the Analfield pi55stones.

The thought of Cleverley being used as a pawn to snatch any of the above three away from us is too painful to comprehend.

Please El Bob, surely you can identify players who offer more, much more, light years more than Tom (not so) Cleverley will ever do.

Nice post mate.

Have you seriously vaulted someone after seeing Cleverley playing a few minutes against league one opposition ?
