villianusa Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 He is not worth the 7.5 being touted. I'd pay a couple of million at tops. Would rather be playing Bacuna right now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 I really hope I'm wrong about this deal already being wrapped up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 8 million on this guy's absolutely no thank you. Does not add anything. Very unimpressed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HAL Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 If anyone sanctions this deal for 8million they deserve firing or atleast on currrent viewing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodytom Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 We can not possibly be thinking of paying 7.5m for him? Surely?. Other than working his bollocks off with the team at anfield, has he done anything else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonic_bouma Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Glad we all now seem to be in agreement that this guy is a horrendous footballer and should be binned off at the first opportunity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVTuco Posted December 28, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted December 28, 2014 I think you're getting ahead of yourself there. Sometimes it's better to just let people vent, and not be bothered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AshVilla Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 If he cant assert himself and prove he's an 8 million pound rated player against a team such as Sunderland at home then when is he going to? Joke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isa Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Any goals and assists for us yet? He'd need to actually play a forward pass for the latter to happen! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshVilla Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Any goals and assists for us yet? He'd need to actually play a forward pass for the latter to happen! Next time he gets a free kick he should face sidewards towards the goal maybe then the shot would go on target and he might have a chance of scoring 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LockStockVilla Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 I'm all for giving players time to settle and was hoping that Cleverley would become a big player for us, but he is a guy who has already played many games in the league before joining Villa, so that time should have been relatively short. I don't think he ever will be the forward thinking player we would like and if I am being honest, I would have Westwood over him mostly any day. For the money being touted for this guy and the wages he would likely expect, I'd rather take any money available and shop abroad for another midfielder or two.

DiegoD Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Given what we paid for Westwood and Sanchez, Cleverly isn't worth more than 1mil. He's been really poor and really doesn't offer the team anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czechlad Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 I'd still sign him, but for 2-3 million max. He is not worth the 8 million figure that United want, although he is still a half decent footballer. He hasn't had the best form lately, but earlier in the season he was doing quite well and the same posters criticizing, were praising. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 I wouldn't sign him, even if we lost Delph with Westwood fit and back in the team they're too similar, it's be one or the other in there and IMO Westwood is a better player, cleverley would be his back up at best If we're signing another midfielder he needs to offer something different 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulfromsutton Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Hoolahan has had his time pass now he would have been a cheap player to bridge the gap before now I doubt very much he could do much fornus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villalad21 Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 How this guy has spent several years at Man United is incredible. So poor, i don t have a clue who is the worst out of him and Weimann. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomh621 Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Been disappointing for mine. I thought he would be a lot more attacking. He is very similar to Westwood. Marginally better but no point spending 8 million to bring him if hes only marginally better. Hopefully we leave him at Man Utd and go sign an attacking midfielder in January. I think he breaks up play more than Westwood in his role and Westwood appears to have a better range of passing. I agree though hope we leave him.

Keyblade Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Westwood really shows him up doesn't he? His refusal to ever look forward is frustrating. Compared to Sanchez, our supposed defensive midfielder who whenever he receives the ball tries to turn towards goal to see what's on. Cleverley seems almost scared of looking that way, and he usually passes sideways as quick as he can or back to the player who passed it to him.

lexicon Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 More tackles than Sanchez yesterday and 90% passing accuracy - and he had a bad game. People really have developed a complete and utter irrational hatred of him and it's pathetic. Yes, he's shit at set pieces but other than that he's a good player. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
