Risso Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 I thought he was great yesterday. Really helps drive the team forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briny_ear Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 I was very negative about him when he first came, thought he was mediocre with a high price tag primed by the Man U link. But Sherwood seems to have fired him up and he is playing some great stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dounavilla Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 I have been turned and now hope we keep him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROTTERDAM1982 Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Played quite well yday, but is he worth £50k+ per week? Lets face facts, no goals scored, no goals created, not a natural attacking player, not quick, an average midfielder. Personally i don't think he will stay, and i think there is better value players out there.He did play well yday, but for us to go forward we need a complete overhaul imho.

I've never thought we needed a complete overhaul. A fully fit defence would be just grand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danishlad Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 I just read that Everton want Cleverley, again. If we stay up I think we should keep Tom. He didn't play well for Lambert cause he used him wrongly. Sherwood is using him to his strengths and he looks a great player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Thought first half Tuesday he was excellent and probably his best half for the club. Long term though we need a lot more goals and creativity in midfield so I'm still not sure on signing him full time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isa Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 I'd happily have him on a free but it'll be little skin off my nose should that not happen, for whatever reason. His heart was evidently set on a move to Everton in the summer and I'd imagine it still is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 I am still not convinced. Neat and tidy and lots of energy but where is the quality final ball or the running into attacking positions. For me he is a tidy player who can do so much more but week in week out doesn't impress as much as you feel he should. He's more aggressive than Westwood but I want to see more nouse and guile from him in the attacking third. I would have a Dembele over him any day of the week but I doubt we'd get him. Never been totally convinced by Dembele myself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Dembele when on form is a lovely player to watch but for his talent he dosen't score or assist enough goals over a season so I'm not convinced he'd be a saviour like everyone says he would. To me if there's a midfielder in the premier league who is exactly what we need, I'd say it would be a Sigurdsson type player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isa Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 was it though? sounded like media BS at the time still Yes, that was the reason it was turned into a loan at the last minute (literally) despite us having a bid accepted. I don't blame him for what it's worth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 if anything I think he wanted to stay at United when we originally bid for him *might be wrong but think was around opening day of season* and then after 3 or 4 games he realised he wasnt going to play much so wanted to check his options again on deadline day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thabucks Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 I think any chance we had of signing him may have dissapeared around the period of his substitution being greeted with a loud chorus of cheers each inevitable time. Lambert almost destroyed him completely as a footballer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BleedClaretAndBlue Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 Im torn right now over this schmuk. Didnt want him to begin with, lived up to all expectation of being useless but now has begun to perform like a decent midfielder. Not sure if he will keep it up and play s big part in keeping us up but if he does and makes noises that he wants to stay and be a part of AVFC moving forward and TS can continue to get the best out of him then im all for the Free transfer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest av1 Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 I'll take back everything I said about this guy. What a transformation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bose Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 Great workrate and what a turnaround from him. He's cemented his place in the starting 11. Never thought he would be good after how atrocious he was in the beginning. Keep it up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
