R1chuk Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 I don't see what he offers us, Delph is twice the player and Sanchez is finding his feet in the Premier League. There are much better players for less money around. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bunnski Posted December 13, 2014 Author Share Posted December 13, 2014 I was expecting his set pieces to be bad as they were terrible in other games when he took them but his general play when he has the ball at his feet was woeful, he can only play 5 - 10 yard passes anything beyond that and it looks like a real struggle for him to get the power into the pass which leads to him messing it up.

dudevillaisnice Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 I don't see what he offers us, Delph is twice the player and Sanchez is finding his feet in the Premier League. There are much better players for less money around. Agree. Again today, really not sure what he brings to the team. If anything I think we missed Westwood who for me is the better player between the two. I hope this supposed new scouting setup can find better players in the future for much cheaper than the supposed 8m as I suspect United would be laughing all the way if we did pay this fee for him.

villalad21 Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 I'm really sad we let KEA go now, would be very useful today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinker Posted December 13, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted December 13, 2014 8m in Jan or he goes back to Manure.....I hate loan deals. Cleverely is not that poor hes just not that good, 8m no way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 I don't know about you guys but I thought he was pretty good aside from his woeful set pieces. me too, except he did put in a great freekick first half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROTTERDAM1982 Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 Thought he was poor. We lack an out and out attacking midfielder, a la Merson, who tries to hurt the opposition.Sanchez and Delph offer a good base for such a player to be included.Cleverley is just ok, no more no less.Not worth £8m though.

DCJonah Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 (edited) Considering passing is meant to be his strength, he can't even do that. His amount of passes and pass success percentage yesterday were both better than Westwood's averages for the season. And that's in a team down to 10 men.

Supervillan78 Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 (edited) OK Cleverly had a poor game yesterday, but overall his contribution has been decent. I rate Cleverly and would be more than happy for us to take him permanently in Jan. Edited December 14, 2014 by Supervillan78 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Apart from his set pieces, what did he do poorly? Used the ball very well, and made himself available as much as possible which is his job...especially when we're down to 10 men. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brumstopdogs Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 We've got very lucky not paying £8m for this guy. Let's hope we learn our lesson and don't waste money on him in January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samjp26 Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 (edited) I'm really sad we let KEA go now, would be very useful today. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IaZFS-W_7bI Same. Cleverley looked sharp in his first few games, but it doesn't look as if he'll be the sort of player to take us up a notch. Genuinely do think we'd have been better off keeping KEA if I had to choose between that and spending £8m. In fact, I'd go as far as saying we're lacking KEA's main attribute which was his ability to press high up the pitch, right now we don't have anybody doing that.

His amount of passes and pass success percentage yesterday were both better than Westwood's averages for the season. And that's in a team down to 10 men. Westwood plays all range of passes and puts in corners and free kicks, he is always the midfielder with the most long balls attempted also whereas Cleverley just keeps it simple which leads to him having better looking passing stats.
