I think we'll get Cleverley, but nearer to 11pm. Just feel like it probably will happen.

Van Ginkel loan to AC Milan is confirmed, Chelsea must have loaned out a squads worth of players this summer.

Quite a few places including bbc, sky and guardian all mentioning our bid to real sociedad for Canales. I think that would be a great signing, lambert did say a couple more signings, so possible. Has Trent mentioned anything not his link yet?

 

Well..... I was in Tesco's earlier and....

 

No I've got nothing on this one.

Cheers Trent. I would love it to be true, but if you've not even heard a whisper the it could be like the Dempsey deal; and just to put a bit of pressure on TC. We shall see.

I wonder if this time next year we'll be reading about links between Jack and the top four clubs. Could happen as he's clearly a massive talent. I don't think I've ever wanted a villa youngster to succeed as much as I want it for Jack, but he's got so much promise and seems to be a proper villa lad. I think he'll be great for us, and if one day the top 4 do come calling, I hope he stays with the club.

Keep it up Jack. UTV.

Slightly OT but ALL the Sky reporters are wearing yellow ties?

Words Removed.

you say that but wait until natalie sawyer comes on in a yellow dress...

Didn't someone have some GIFs of her/other SSN presenters... Just asking?

Do you think the cleverley signing (if it happens, and I hope it does) is a plan b for Ki or another signing which didn't pan out? Either way, as others have said; I think he'd improve our midfield, so I don't see a reason not to want this to happen.

At the end of the season we can plot the average optimism level on a graph and see how it fluctuates... I like graphs.

Good, but sounds like someone who molests parrots.

What about Senderock...

Brilliant to get the 3 points, fans were great today. Let's keep it going!! @AVFCOfficial #UTV #PS14

He still looks sad.

Probably gutted that it wasn't a clean sheet. Go on big Phil.

I hate those bits of skin by the side of your fingernails, I always pull them and they always bleed, and I never learn.

Agreed, seems like a quality player! Good work Aly!

Maybe I'm off the mark here, but I didn't think the Premiership had a foreign players/non-EU limit? I just thought there was a homegrown minimum.

Not an expert but isn't it because there is a homegrown minimum and an overall squad size maximum, so it means there sort of is a foreign player limit, although not explicitly set? Could be wrong, that's just my interpretation.

Cleverly, Salah, Delph, N'Zog, Cole, Grealish, Sanchez, Westy, Richardson, Bacuna, ...our midfield would be miles stronger than last year.

Got some decent results last year against the big boys, and we've got a better squad this year. I don't think we'll win every game, but I think we'll do better than many, certainly some parts of the media, expect.

I reckon:

Liverpool - narrow loss, they have played very well so far

Arsenal - win, I reckon we can shut them out and get a cheeky goal, maybe a 1-0.

Chelsea - loss, very good side, defensively a bit shaky but can't argue with the attack, costa is frightening

Man City - draw, good side but have some chinks in heir armour, I think we'll draw

Everton - win, they're good, and Martinez is a clever manager, but I've just got a good feeling about this one.

If we got 7 points I'd be thrilled with that!

Is the deadline tomorrow?

Closes 11pm 1st September, so we'll know what's happening/not by tomorrow night.

Good luck KEA, you weren't ever the best player on the pitch, but you were often the one trying the hardest.

Would be our best signing from ManUre....

... since our last one: Djemba Djemba

So good they named him twice...

I'd like him here, I think the money seems a lot, but like Trent said, it's just wild rumour mongering by the media.

Thanks Trent.

There are loads of 'ITKs' on twitter all spouting the same stuff; that a 8mil deal has been agreed. And strangely I think one man utd fan seemed to joke that PL was having a brain scan, presumably because they think it's such a great deal for them, and a few others are now saying that an assessment of TC's mental state will take place. I assume this is either because they're copying or also joking. Just shows what a load of Chinese whispers goes on on twitter, very hard to pick any facts out at all.

We need confirmation from Daz.

Ahaha! Then we'll know for sure!

Has Trent said anything yet?

Not sure about Cleverley, Fergie must have seen something in him for put him in the first team, and he did do well at Wigan. If it comes off, I'd love him to be great. Who knows. 8mil seems like a lot though. When was the last time we signed a man utd player? Could it be Mr. McGrath!?

I believe our only two signings from United since the beginning of the Premiership are Ronny Johnson and Eric Djemba-Djemba.

Bardsley on loan from Man U?

Ahh you are correct, I was only thinking of permanent ones.

Of course, well remembered. I got all excited thinking about Big Paul. Of the others Johnson was ok, but that's about it.

I think 8mil could buy a more proven AM from Europe, but if TC (tom cleverley not top cat) comes in and does the bizniz then it's all good.
